The existing topography is presented on Exhibit C-1 Pre-Mining Map. In general, the land slopes <br />gently to the northwest. The western edge of the pit disturbance (in Phase I and Phase III) consists <br />of the partially exposed gravel outcrop. This 30 foot thick gravel deposit presents itself on a slope <br />of approximately 12%. The vegetation of this slope is predominantly cedar. The upper, more <br />gently sloping, irrigated portion of the pit disturbance area is covered in a pasture/hay mixture of <br />grasses. Unirrigated portions of the disturbance area, where not covered in cedar, are covered <br />predominately by noxious weeds and cheat grass. The type of present vegetation is also shown <br />and described in more detail on Exhibit J-1 and a description of the naturally occurring rangeland <br />vegetation is presented in Exhibit J. <br />A soils information map is presented as Exhibit I. <br />The mine plan is shown on Exhibit C-2. Surface Ownership is shown on Exhibit C-3. <br />C-2 <br />
