<br /> <br />1 <br /> ESHIBIT J <br />' VEIGETATION <br /> <br /> E~:isting vegetation cover on the property consists of two <br />' distinct varieties. Lowland areas along St. Vrain Creek have <br /> plant cover consistent with that found in a floodplain such as <br /> cottonwoods, cattails, bull rushes and other wetlands plant <br />' sF~ecies. These varieties are found in the oxbows of the river. <br /> A:: shown on the mining plan, heavily wooded areas are not <br /> disturbed by mining. Some isolated trees will be removed from <br /> tt~e mining area and will not be replaced. It is expected that <br />' nz~tural succession will replace any of the woody species removed <br /> b}~ mining. <br />' Tt~e remainder of the property is active farmland with the primary <br /> crops being corn and alfalfa. Reclamation will not replace any <br /> of the croplands. Reclaimed shorelines will be suitable for <br />' gx•azing and will be replanted with grass species to support <br /> livestock. <br /> <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />' J-1 <br />
