Such description will address <br /> suitability of topsoil (or other material) for establishment and maintenance of plant growth. <br /> The above information shall satisfy "completeness" requirements for purposes of <br /> determination of date of filing. <br /> (2) If necessary, at its discretion, the Board may require additional information on soils or other <br /> growth media to be stockpiled and used in revegetation to be submitted subsequent to the <br /> filing and notification of"completeness" of the application. <br /> 6.4.10 EXHIBIT J -Vegetation Information <br /> (1) The Operator/Applicant shall include in this Exhibit a narrative of the <br /> following items: <br /> (a) descriptions of present vegetation types, which include quantitative estimates of <br /> cover and height for the principal species in each life-form represented (i.e., trees, <br /> tall shrubs, low shrubs, grasses, forbs); <br /> (b) the relationship of present vegetation types to soil types, or alternatively, the <br /> information may be presented on a map; and <br /> (c) estimates of average annual production for hay meadows and croplands, and <br /> carrying capacity for range lands on or in the vicinity of the affected land, if the <br /> choice of reclamation is for range or agriculture. <br /> (2) The Operator/Applicant shall show the relation of the types of vegetation to existing <br /> topography on a map in Exhibit C. In providing such information, the Operator/Applicant may want <br /> to contact the local Soil Conservation District. <br /> Exhibit I &J — Soils &Vegetation Map, identifies the type and extent of soils over the project site <br /> and surrounding lands. Areas designated for resource recovery within the extraction limits will <br /> remove all recoverable soils. A portion of the available soils will be utilized for reclamation from a <br /> portion of either existing or future soil stockpiles, or suitable in situ soils, as circumstances <br /> warrant. The balance of soils not otherwise needed for reclamation of affected lands remaining <br /> above the anticipated static water level of the completed basins will be made available to meet the <br /> demands of the market. <br /> Interpretation of current soil conditions and vegetation suitable for reclamation relies in part on <br /> information and correlated available data from the U.S. Soil Conservation Service (SCS) Soil <br /> Surveys and updated digital information of the same by the renamed U.S. Natural Resources <br /> VARRA COMPANIES, INC.
