EXHIBIT D-2 <br /> Page 2 <br /> CAMP BIRD MINE <br /> Location: NE14, SEA, Sec. 22, T42N, R8W. Elevation: 10,000 feet. <br /> This site presently encompasses several acres of mine spoil and tail- <br /> ings, along with some undisturbed land. <br /> The proposed use of the land will be to act as a tailings dump for <br /> mining and processing activities. <br /> Vegetation: <br /> We have divided our vegetation inventory into two categories: (1) that <br /> growing on the edges of existing tailings and spoil piles, and (2) that grow- <br /> ing on adjacent undisturbed land. <br /> Spoil dump vegetation is very sparse, but includes the following species: <br /> Spoil Dump Vegetation <br /> Grasses Forbs Trees & Shrubs <br /> Orchard Grass Nettles <br /> Crested Wheatgrass Dock <br /> Kentucky Bluegrass Western Yarrow <br /> Slender Wheatgrass <br /> Vegetation on Undisturbed Land <br /> Grasses Forbs Trees & Shrubs <br /> Sedges Fireweed Willow <br /> Alpine Bluegrass Sawtooth Butterweed Elderberry <br /> Tufted Hairgrass Jacobs Ladder Raspberry <br /> Nodding Brome Penstamen Sub-Alpine Fir <br /> Bearded Wheatgrass Tall Larkspur Engleman Spruce <br /> Geranium Gooseberry <br /> Mustard Aspen <br /> Bluebell <br /> Pucoon <br /> Meadow Rue <br /> Green Gentian <br /> Strawberry <br /> Paintbrush <br /> Woods Rose <br /> Bearberry Honeysuckle <br /> Soils: <br /> Soils vary from coarse rocky spoil to fine sand textured tailings on dump <br /> sites to cobbly clay loams on adjacent undisturbed sites. <br /> Too much variablility exists between spoil and tailing materials to cate- <br /> gorize or classify them without a detailed investigation. <br /> Adjacent native soils are classified as Lithic Cryoboralfs, loamy-skelatal <br /> mixed. Soils are 14 to 40 inches deep over tuff and fine grained igneous. Rocks <br /> and cobble are numerous throughout the soil profile. Slopes range from 2 to <br /> 30%. <br />
