<br />~i <br />there was a complete reversal where the grasses <br />comprised almost all of the 897 Y/acre production <br />value, Cover of plant basal areas was 24.9$ in <br />1978 (personal communication, Energy Fuels Corp.). <br />Data from the undisturbed application area, which <br />is just west of present mine ~1, for plant basal <br />cover was 40$, 77x, 65~ and 79.9x in mountain <br />shrub, aspen, sagebrush and meadow vegetation types <br />respectively. Production was 881 ~/acre, 926 <br />U/acre, 347 ~/acre and 1326 9/acre for mountain <br />shrub, aspen, sagebrush and meadow vegetation types <br />respectively (personal communication, Energy Fuels <br />Corp.). <br />In those areas where soils are designated as being <br />poor for reclamation, soil amendments may be <br />required to obtain necessary production, or species <br />seeded that are more tolerant of adverse soils to <br />revegetation efforts. <br />Reclamation Potential <br />Based on rainfall of 19-20" in this area, <br />relatively good soils for reclamation, soil depth <br />of 10" past reclamation by Energy Fuels on their <br />adjacent Mine 03, there is a good indication of <br />good reclamation potential on federal lease <br />55 <br />
