' ' I. ESISTING CONDITIONS
The proposed sites are oa 60 acres in the W3/4 N'~ NEa Section 2,
' '
. Toxnahip 6 South and Range 61, West and E
~ NW a and ~ NEB of NWT Sec-
' tion 6 Toxnahip 6 South and Range 63 west, as shorn on Exhibit B--Iades
Map.
' The 60 acre parcel is currently being cropped xith winter wheat.
The soils are types 6-Bresaer Sandy Loam 4-8~ elopes, and 9-Breaser-
'
Truckton sandy loamy 8-25~ elopes ae shorn on Exhlbit-A-1 Soil Map. The
description of these soils are attached ae Exhibit A-3.
The LO acre parcel is currently in native range. The dominant Range
Site is sandy Foothills and it is currently in Fair Condition. The me3or
grass species present are Blue Grams, Western Wheatgraea, Needle and Thread,
1
Prairies June grass and Prairis sandreed. Current production of air dry
' forage is approzimetely 1100 pounds per acre. The soils on the site ae
shorn on Ezhibit A-2, Soil Map are predominantly type-B-Bresser-Stapleton
' sandy loans 8-25~ elopes. Also, present in minor amounts are type 6 sa o

' age from off-site sources xhich would hinder mining operations or cause
extreme erosion hasard.
II. POST MINING PLAN
The approximate configuration and topography of the post mining con-
dition are seen on Exhibits D-1 and D-2. These areas should be fairly
' easily revegetated and stabilized xith no extreme erosion hazard. All
' elopes after mining should be no stF~eper than 3:1 and the plan shore this
to be so. The area rill be mined over a period of years and eo reclamatlon
' rill also be ongoing. Aa one area is completed it x111 be reclaimed ae
