• Limit of disturbance lines are shown outside the limits of mining on the west and north sides of the North Quarry, and on the east of the Central and South Quarries. These minor expansions have been made to allow for access to mine workings and to allow for material stockpiles and berms outside the limits of mining. Berms along the eastern edge of the Central and South Quarries aze included as a measure of reducing visual impacts from the east and southeast. Areas shown between the limits of mining and the limits of disturbance will not be mined and may not be entirely disturbed, but are designed to be used for equipment access and stockpile activities. The type of present vegetation at the quarry is generally characterized by extensive grasslands interspersed with widely scattered, isolated clusters of shrubs. Present vegetation is identical to that described in the previous permit and amendment applications to DMG for the quarry, with the exception of removal of vegetation in mined areas and replacement of vegetation in reclaimed areas since the time of those submittals. Detailed vegetation information is contained in Exhibit ] of Amendment No. 2 for the Morrison Quarry. In compliance with the Rules and Regulations established by the State of Colorado vis 9 vis the Mined Land Reclamation Act, the Division of Minerals and Geology (DMG) and the Mined Land Reclamation Board (Boazd), the following materials outline Cootey's proposed amended mining and reclamation plans for the subject affected land.
