EXHIBIT B <br />to that certain <br />Limited Impact Operation (110(2)) <br />Reclamation Permit <br />Application Form <br />WEST END GRAVEL COMPANY <br />SITE DESCRIPTION <br />1, The site of the operation has very shallow topsoil <br />ranging from no topsoil to six inches (6") in depth. The topsoil <br />is deficient in many nutrients required to sustain plant life. <br />Sparse growth of plants within the area is indicative of the <br />poor soil condition and lack of precipitation. Plants located <br />on the area of the permit include, Diffuse Knapweed, Yellow <br />Starthistle, Hoary Cress, Field Bindweed, Spotted Knapweed, <br />Russian Thistle and Gray Rabbitbrush, Russian Thistle is the <br />most common plant located on the permit area. <br />2. The only permanent manmade structures within two <br />hundred feet (200') of the affected area are the Doing Ditch, <br />a small irrigation ditch owned by Silver Hawk, Ltd., and a stock <br />pond fed by the Doing Ditch. <br />3. No water resources are within the area of the proposed <br />operation. <br />All drainage from the operation will be collected <br />in an existing stock pond near the affected area. Discharge <br />will be limited as the site is above main drainage areas and <br />is relatively flat in contour. <br />The water table in the area of operation is estimated <br />at two hundred feet (200') below the surface. The water quality <br />of the subsurface water is high in dissolved solids, but <br />otherwise of good quality. i~~,s~¢_ ,.i ~,~'~ z, <br />-~- <br />
