Revegetation <br />Vegetation at the main mine facility site is dormant for the winter season. This year's <br />growing season was excellent during the summer months. Rills and gullies are not <br />developing due to shallow slopes and good hydrologic ground cover. <br />Vegetation at the former coal loadout is also good, especially the warm season grasses and <br />the shrubs rabbitbrush and four wing saltbush. Blue grama and Sideoats grama plants stand <br />nearly three feet tall in much of the reclaimed area. One exception is the southwest corner <br />of the reclaimed area where kochia weed is abundant in an area of about '/. acre. <br />~~~. ~:: j' RO~~ ~.L rl <br />w~ .tea.' ~- f _ M1a by _.~f...>. <br />~ ~ i' ~ ,,gat Mlr"~ V <br />}.'.: 4 is ~ ~,~,~ <br />_~ ,~* , <br />" ~ --A1- ` <br />T 7'~1' .W ~ J'."'
