EXHIBIT J -VEGETATION INFORMATION (6.4.10) <br />(1) (a) Located along the banks of the Florida River and within western limits <br />of Phases A,B, C, and D there exists mature stands of narrow leaf <br />cottonwood and some elm trees. These stands are outside of the <br />actual proposed mining area and, as such, will not be impacted. The <br />remainder of the acreage of these phases consists of a variety of <br />pasture grasses. <br />Phase E, as discussed earner, was deforested some time ago and <br />currently exhibits scattered sage growth with the sparse presence of <br />some dry land grasses and forbs. <br />The valley slopes within the "Possible Affected Area° in the center of <br />the property and those east of the property boundaries have stands of <br />juniper and pinon with various sporadic native and non-native shrubs <br />and grasses. No mining of these valley slopes is proposed. <br />Development impacts in these areas will be restricted to the <br />construction of the east access roadway and the conveyance corridor <br />from Phase E to the proposed plant site. <br />(b) Attached with Exhibit I is a map indicating soil types and the relative <br />existing vegetation. <br />(2) The relationship of vegetation types to existing topography are shown <br />on Exhibit C <br />lA <br />
