<br /> <br /> <br />EXHIBITS_I °~ J - Soils and Vegetation Inforaation <br />Camp Bird Colorado, Inc, - April 16, 1982 <br />Page 2 <br />Ci111P BIRD MINK <br />Location: NE',~, SE}4, 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 ar.d 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 Forba <br />Orchard Grass Nettles <br />Crested Wheatgrass Dock <br />Kentucky Bluegrass liestern `.'arrow <br />Slender Wheatgrass <br /> Vegetation on Undisturbed Land <br />Grasses ~ Forbs <br />Sedges Fireweed <br />Alpine Bluegrass Sawtooth Butterweed <br />Tufted Hairgrass Jacobs Ladder <br />Nodding Brome Penstamen <br />Bearded Wheatgrass Tall Larkspur <br /> Geranium <br /> Flustard <br /> Bluebell <br /> Pucoon <br /> Meadow Rue <br /> Green Gentian <br /> Strawberry <br /> Paintbrush <br /> Woods Rose <br /> IIearberry Honeysuckle <br />Soils: <br />Trees & Shrubs <br />Trees F. Shrubs <br />Willow <br />Elderberry <br />Raspberry <br />Sub-Alpine Fir <br />Engleman Spruce <br />Gooseberry <br />Aspen <br />Soils vary from coarse rocky spoil to fine sand textured tailings on dump <br />sites to cobbly clay loains 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 ~+0 inches deep over tuff and fine grained igneous. Rocks <br />and cobble are numerous throughout the soil profile. Slopes range from 2 to <br />3~. <br />
