During the sampling and field work conducted by Uniscale, no rare and endangered plant <br />species were encountered. Therefore, no impacts of these species are expected. Due to <br />the small area which will be disturbed during the term of this permit, no impact of raze and <br />endangered plant species is expected. <br />In response to Stipulation 18, a summary of the current actual disturbance for each <br />vegetation type at the Golden Eagle mine was added to the permit. This data has been <br />updated to include all disturbance at the site at the star of filial reclamation (that lies <br />within the current permit and disturbance area boundaries). No additional disturbance is <br />anticipated to occur during the new permit term and through final bond release. <br />ACTUAL DISTURBANCE ACREAGE <br /> <br />Type of Vegetation Acres Percent <br />Grassland 50.38 96% <br />Pinion Juniper 1.90 4% <br />TOTAL 52.28 100% <br />Because the Pinion-Juniper comprises five percent or less of the affected acreage, no <br />additional sampling will be required by the Division. <br />In response to Stipulation 19, Basin will utilize the standard of cover and production on <br />the grassland reference areas at the Golden Eagle Mine. Therefore, Basin will not be <br />implementing a vegetation sampling program. <br />• 2.03-31 (PR=bB3 04/03/00) <br />RN~o3 <br />
