Site Descrition (cont'd) Exhibit B <br />Vegetation Information <br />The general soils description indicates that the potential Plant Community on the Happle Soil <br />is mainly Indian ricegrass, western wheatgrass, bottlebrush squirreltail, shadscale saltbush, and <br />Wyoming big sagebrush. The predominant species present are sage brush and the grasses listed <br />above. <br />The soil survey claims that seeding is not practical in areas of this unit because of the <br />stoniness and the slope. Aside from the discouragement an attempt will be made to seed the site. <br />1. Current ground coverage is: 5 - 15% <br />2. Topsoil depth on site averages: 0 - 5 inches <br />3. Seeding dates recommended: October 15 to April 31 <br />4. Seeding recommendations for area <br />Non -Irrigated grass seed recommendation <br />Seed Rate lbs/ acre <br />Pubescent wheatgrass 3.5 <br />Western Wheatgrass 4.0 <br />Russian Wildrye 2.5 <br />Alalfa 1.2 <br />Small Burnett 3.0 <br />~ This seed mix was recommended by the NRCS. It is available through Nilex Environmental <br />out of Denver Colorado. It is recommended by the NRCS because of its proven success in soils <br />' similar to the vicinity of the mine. The seed will be broadcast and then covered with straw <br />mulch. <br />Permanent Man-Made Structures <br />There are no permanent man made structures within the vicinity of this proposed construction <br />materials mine. The county road supplies access to the mine, There are no above or below <br />' ground communication lines, fences, bridges, wells, pipelines, water storage impoundments, <br />railroad tracks, cemeteries or communication antennas within 200 feet of the affected lands. <br />Water Resources <br />There are no water structures on the site. The closest stream, Clear Creek is approximately 150 <br />' feet to the west of the mine. The stream is approximately 20 feet lower than mining level. <br />Mining will not reach the ground water table so there will not be any exposed water in the mine. <br />Surface or subsurface water will not be impacted by this mining operation. This mine will not <br />~ affect the hydrologic balance ofthe surface or subsurface waterin the area. <br />NORTH CLEAR CREEK CONSTRUCTION MATFxrnr c MINE COROILCERAN COQIPLL4NCE $EAVICES, INC <br />E05~74 PAGESOF 21 GAAND]UNCTION,COLORADD <br />
