<br />INTRODUCTION <br />The CFBI Steel Corporation operates two underground coal mines <br />35 miles west of Trinidad, Colorado. The tti+o mines are the Ptaxwell <br />Mine and the Allen Ptine, each on separate permit areas. The Allen <br />t4ine is approximately 5 miles northwest of the t4axo-iell Kline. <br />Disturbed areas on the 6laxwell Kline include grassland and <br />pinyon-juniper vegetation types, while areas to be disturbed on the <br />Allen h?ine include Ponderosa pine-Douglas fir-oak, Ponderosa pine- <br />oak, and willow carr vegetation types. A species list for these <br />vegetation types is given in Appendix B. <br />} Representative areas of each vegetation type were inventoried <br />` for vegetation cover and production by major species and species <br />categories. Density of trees, shrubs and saplings in each type was <br />also obtained. The results of the inventory r:ere used to identify <br />dominant species in each type and discuss the relationships of the <br />dominant species with their environcient. <br />The general vegetation types were mapped on a scale of 1:500. <br />These maps can be found in Appendix C. <br />• ~ ` <br />
