The project area is located on the rolling uplands just east of a prominent <br />hogback that forms the eastern margin of the anticline in Twentymile Park. More specifically, it is on a <br />gentle, north and east facing slope immediately south of an east flowing unnamed intermittent drainage. <br />Current Land Use: Energy development and grazing. <br />19. Flora: Sagebrush community with non-native grasses and forbs <br />20. Soils/Geology: Sediment is a medium brown silty loam; colluvial in nature. There are lots of rounded [o <br />subangular gravels and small boulders on the surface. Lithology includes: granite, basalt, sandstone, quartz, <br />quartzite and occasional petrified wood. The cutbank in the drainage suggests less than one meter of <br />deposition yeilding no potential for buried cultural materials. <br />21. Ground Visibility: There was very good visibility with about 40-50% vegetative coverage. <br />22. Comments: <br />V. LITERATURE REVIEW <br />23.

That survey included a 100' access corridor and a 500' X 500' block for the proposed intake <br />shaft. Also a seismic line cuts across the survey area. <br />In the general region: eight previous survey projects in the section, all coal associated (MC.CM.R1, <br />MC.LM.R319, RT.LM.R27, RT.LM.R44, RT.LM.R53, RT.CM.R3, TR.CM.NR2, and RT.LM.R54). <br />
