Exhibit Page 19 <br /> EXHIBIT J - VEGETATION INFORMATION <br /> SUMMARY: <br /> 1. Source(s) of information: Mr. Fred McCullough, Conservation District. <br /> 2. Status of vegetative cover: Good to excellent. Total annual yield under excellent conditions <br /> is 300-500 pounds per acre. A moist spring and summer has produced good conditions, offset by <br /> grazing. Optimum ground cover is 25%. <br /> 3. Major species: Mountain mahogany, Skunk brush, Yucca, Bluestem grass (in high gypsum <br /> soils). Gramma grass occurs in lower areas which will not be mined. <br /> 4. Invader species: The following species are most likely to invade a disturbed site: sleepy <br /> grass, tall rabbit brush, and ragweed. <br /> 5. Reclamation seed mix (for grasses) recommended by Natural Resources Conservation <br /> Service for site: <br /> Seed Type Application rate Remarks <br /> (lbs/acre) <br /> Blue grama 0.50 <br /> Western wheat 4.00 <br /> Indian rice grass 3.20 73; ° <br /> Little blue stem 1.75 zzs.�w <br /> Mountain Mahogany 0.50 j 57, "e- <br /> Side Oats or REGREEN 9.00 1 Nurse crop4�,cco <br /> TOTAL 18.951 Pure live seed <br /> 6.
