Application for Permit to Operate Open Mining
Z3 h. Continued-
With reference to Exhibit A, a topographical map
of the area, the soils generally found above 'the
approximate elevation of 6450 feet have char,scteristics
different from the soils;;tfielow this elevation.
In the area above this elevation the subsurfa~:e
material is predominantly Precambrian Crystal.7ine
Rock, which is exposed to the surface through~~ut
most of the area. The exposed rock is in vari~~us
stages and sizes of disintegration. This
disintegrated rock forms the bulk of the overburden.
Where surface soils do exist they are mixed with
the disintegrated rock, and the fine material:a are
iorganic clayey fine sands or silts with slig~~t
plasticity. The depth of the overburden vari~=s
from virtually nothing on the ridges to a depth
of up to six feet in a few pockets along the
drainage channels.
In the areas below the 6,450 foot elevation t.5e
subsurface materials are,from the West to East,
materials from the Fountain Formation, Lyons
Sandstone Formation and the Lykins Formation,
and each formation is intermixed with thin ba.uds
of either inorganic or organic clays. These
formations are exposed to the surface at randum
throughout the area. The surface materials ar°
generally inorganic micaceous silty soils or
inorganic clays with medium to high plasticity.
These soils cover the area in a generally uniform
thickness of two to eight inches, and in some
places are mixed with disintegrated crystalliue rock.
13 i. No effort was made to indicate the type, character,
and density of present vegetation covering the area
on any of the Exhibits. The present vegetation is
a sparse covering of native grasses, some low
growing sagebrush and buckbrush, and a few isolated
stands of willow bushes and scrub oak trees. A
landscape architedt has provided us with a list of
grasses, shrubs and trees for revegetation.
13 j. No effort was made to indicate the depth of the
crystalline rock in the extraction area, because
gelogical information indicates that the depth is
unlimited.
13 k. Exhibit B indicates the expected
of the area to be mined and the
affected, which is correlated to
Item 12 above.
