<br />EXHIBIT E (Cont'd) <br />trees; however, some cottonwoods will be planted in a few <br />selected areas to improve final reclamation conditions. <br />8. Grazing. No horse, cattle and sheep grazing will be <br />permitted during the first two or three years because grazing <br />would damage the young plants. <br />9. Native Invaders. A number of species can be antici- <br />J <br />pated to invade the area rather heavily in the first five to <br />seven years. Most will invade along the lake shores. Willow, <br />tamarisk and saltgrass can be expected to invade strongly in <br />the wet and saline areas. Also, cattails and reeds will invade <br />the water areas immediately offshore, thereby providing excellent <br />wildlife habitat and littoral conditions. Sagebrush and rabbit- <br />brush will invade the upland areas where soils are more coarse. <br />Possibly some cottonwood will be found in selected areas, but <br />this is questionable. Box Elder probably will not invade until <br />the vegetation becomes stable and the soils are better developed. <br />Reclamation Timetable. The reclamation phases listed on <br />the following page may be correlated to Map Exhibits D-1 and F. <br />The phases correspond to the mining stages and are numbered <br />accordingly. Note that these are estimates only and that varia- <br />tions may occur. <br />-21- <br />
