<br />'~' <br />~ SLOPE NORTH OF SHOP: At the beginning of the 1987 growing season the <br />grass component showed exceptional strength and good cover. This is <br />just the second growing season, but the indications are that the cover <br />on this area will be as adequate as it is on other areas. Derived <br />from the replacement of the original soil is an added benefit of some <br />wildflowers such as wallflower (Erysimum asperum), and a mustard <br />(Lesquerella sp.). The wallflower's prominent yellow flowers add some <br />color to the hillside, although they are currently quite scattered. <br />In time, they should become more prominent. <br />SLOPE SOUTH OF SHOP: This area was seeded in 1987 and therefore no <br />assessment can be provided. However, as of May 15, about 2 weeks <br />after seeding, some of the grass and clover could be found growing on <br />the slope. Excellent moisture and a warm May has certainly aided in <br />the germination and growth of the seeded vegetation. <br />WASTE PILE SLOPE: This area was seeded in 1987 and therefore no <br />assessment can be provided. However, as of May 15, about 2 weeks <br />after seeding, excellent germination could be detected on the limited <br />area examined. Generally, this slope faces east and north and as a <br />result it is expected that moisture conditions are excellent. So far, <br />the seeding appears to be highly successful. <br />SLOPE WEST OF THE SLOPE NORTH OF THE SHOP: This area was seeded on <br />May 15, 1987 and therefore there has not been sufficient time to <br />produce any significant germination. <br />RULE 2.41 7 ESTIMATES OF THE LOCATION AND NUMBER OF ACRES TO BE <br />AFFECTED IN THE COMING YEAR. <br />During the coming year, it is not expected that the mining, road, <br />and processing and distribution arrangement will change significantly. <br />It is expected that the mining area will proceed downslope in Tract AB <br />to some extent, but other than that the operation will not change from <br />its current condition. <br />MAP: A map is provided which shows the features discussed in this <br />report. <br />Page 5 of 5 Permit 77-211 Pikeview Quarry 1987 Annual Report <br />
