<br /> <br />EXHIBIT "B" <br />SITE DESCRIPTION <br />(a) "Description of the vegetation and soil characteristics" <br />Attached aze descriptions of the 2 soil types from the Fremont County Soil Conservation Service. <br />They are Boyle and Boyle-Martindale. Information sheets aze attached for these two. <br />The vegetation is typical of that in the local Loamy Foothills and is described as in Fair Condition. <br />Grasses include Blue grams, bottlebrush, squin•eltail, sand dropseed, prairie June grass, western <br />wheatgrass, and smaller amounts of mutton grass and sun sedge. <br />Forbs and brush species include fringed sage, hairy goldenaster, green plume rabbit brush, green <br />sagewort, milk vetch, senecio species, prickly peaz and yucca. <br />Woody species on the site are pinyon pine, one-seen juniper, and mountain mahogany which <br />dominate the steeper slopes, while the more open azea is mostly grasses and low shrubs. <br />(b) "Permanent man-made structures within 200 feet of the affected land" <br />This is presently an undeveloped loamy foothills range site with no man-made swctures within 200 <br />feet. <br />(c) "Water resources in the area of proposed operation" <br />Smith Gulch lies across Tallahassee Road to the south of the permit azea and is an ephemeral stream. <br />A Stormwater Discharge permit will be acquired and the associated Stormwater Management Plan <br />will be designed to insure there is no affect on Smith Gulch. There aze no other water resources that <br />could be affected by this operation, such as other streams, lakes, stockwater ponds, ditches, <br />reservoirs and aquifers which could receive drainage from the affected area. <br />(d) "Wildlife Statement" <br />Attached is a copy of the request for comment mailed to the Division of Wildlife on December 2, <br />1998. To date no response has been received, which is not unusual for my experience with that <br />Division. In my personal opinion based on my experience, I feel that any impact on wildlife would <br />be minimal at the most. <br />As stated earlier in this section, the 2 main soil types aze Boyle and Boyle-Martindale complex, 3 <br />to 20 percent slopes. The SCS data sheets aze attached. <br />
