EXHIBIT J <br /> VEGETATION INFORMATION <br /> Introduction <br /> The following information was provided by Mr. Greg Langer <br /> District Conservationist from the E1 Paso District or the NRCS . <br /> The photo map shows the surrounding vegetation features and soil <br /> types . This site lies along a north/south trending deposit of <br /> sand on both sides of the ephemeral drainage known as Black <br /> Squirrel Creek <br /> The permit area consists of mostly rangeland/floodplain <br /> vegetation common to this area and river bottom having grasses <br /> commonly found along the Black Squirrel Creek drainage . The <br /> overall property appears to have had a long history of <br /> agricultural use as rangeland, irrigated sod grass areas and for <br /> feed crops for the landowners cattle . Approximately 82 . 81 acres <br /> is an ephemeral creek drainage that is subject to periodic <br /> flooding; 170 . 90 acres is cover by sod farm circles; 88 . 95 acres <br /> is feed crop area and the remaining area is grass rangeland. The <br /> ephemeral drain will not be disturbed except by roads to cross it <br /> as needed. <br /> The attached tables are from the NRCS report and show the <br /> typical vegetation types on the different soils within the mine . <br /> The seed mix and rates, seeding depth, and mulching <br /> recommendations were prepared by the local NRCS office at our <br /> request for use on the reclamation areas . The seed will be <br /> drilled where possible and doubled if broadcast . <br /> 45 <br />
