Thcrc is no topsoil to salvapo-there is just rocks and gravel <br />1 and a ncgligiblo amount of sagebrush and grass and some trees. <br />3. A maximum of approximatoly 80 foct from ground surface upt•rard <br />and tapering off to 30 feet. <br />4.. Snotrs or rains that falls bottacan the pit and tho hiphtray aro <br />carried southward naturally by a barrotr pit t•rhich runs parallel <br />to the highway; thcroforo the only moisture tahich twill accumulate <br />must fall directly on the slope. The laelc of moisture and severe <br />climate would rcquiro salf-sufficient varitics of grasses as <br />thero is no available water for irrigation. Tho railroad grade <br />running parallel to the pit *.,rhieh discontinued use in 1y52 has <br />shown no erosion, <br />Exhibit D <br />1.

Tho slopo t.hc ground trill stay at naturally is the most bcn:fical <br />to our purc~oso as a trcathcr barrier. The appraxit~tc slope of <br />th:: nearby highway and railroad grade is ..^bout 75~ ~^nd has shotrcd <br />no cvideneo of erosion totrard our hay mcadotr. <br />2. Soc exhibit B-C ;}4 <br />3. As shotrcd on tho map the wind direction is not towards the excavated <br />slope but comes from tho back of the slope trhich is protected <br />naturally by tho nearby mountains across the hightray. This is <br />cahy this arcs is proposed for calving be;eausc: of the slope protection <br />from the tri.nd. A visit to the site trould clarify your questions <br />concerned ~•rith sloping and drainapc and I°m sure you would sec the <br />feasibility of our plans as have other departmental repros::ntives <br />end the county eommissionors. This is indeed a unique site in. <br />that there is a natural stcop sloping *.rith ne:gligiblc vegetation. <br />Coat <br />
