EXHIBIT C <br />PRE-MINING CONDITIONS <br />The northern half of the amendment area known as the <br />Schmidt Area is extremely flat. <br />The premining conditions are similar to those presented <br />in the original 82-155 application. Vegetation cover ranges <br />from moderate to scattered. <br />The southern half of the amendment area known as the <br />Cline area is more diverse. It slopes more dramatically to <br />the south as a result of erosion through the stoney sands. <br />Shrub and tree species are found in these areas only. <br />An electric company right of way and power line borders <br />the eastern edge of permit area. East of the power line is <br />another gravel operation. To the south, the landforms <br />flatten out and cattle graze the area. To the west is Fort <br />Carson Military Reservation. <br />• <br />• <br />- 7 - <br />
