Exhibit 1 <br />. CONCLUSIONS <br />There appears to be an adequate volume of suitable growth medium available for <br />reclamation of the surface mine, plant, and fill areas. It is recommended that the upper 24 <br />inches of soil be separated from the lower overburden-and conserved in piles for use in <br />reclamation. Suitable reclamation seed mixes are discussed in the vegetation information <br />section (Exhibit J) of this report. <br />REFERENCES <br />Hipwell, Richard. 1998. Rio Grande Portland Cement Corp.
