' } RULE 2.41(4): T • SPECIES OF VEGETATION PLA•ED, THE <br />LOCATIONS AND APPROXIMATE DATES OF PLANTING. <br />The species of vegetation planted in the last year (in <br />Phase I) was in accordance with the mixture listed in the <br />1984 amendment and is identical to the mixture planted on <br />the Phase I area in 1988. <br />RULE 2.41(5): THE TYPE AND APPROXIMATE QUANTITY OF <br />FERTILIZERS, ORGANIC MATERIAL, DR SOIL CONDITIONERS USED AND <br />LOCATION OF USE. <br />No soil amendments were used in the planting as topsoil <br />was utilized as the growth medium. <br />RULE 2.41(6): AN APPRAISAL OF THE SUCCESS OF RECLAMATION <br />EFFORTS, AND IN THE EVENT OF FAILURE OF ANY EFFORTS, A SHORT <br />NARRATIVE ON THE SUSPECTED OR DETERMINED CAUSE OF SUCH <br />FAILURE. <br />Previous annual reports have detailed the successes and <br />failures of revegetation at this operation. The <br />revegetation work accomplished in the past continues to show <br />a steady rate of development with the additional benefit of <br />considerable invasion of the areas by native forks and <br />shrubs, particularly Mountain Mahogany. The excellent <br />revegetation conditions at this site continue to provide the <br />reclamation efforts with good success rates. <br />RULE 2.41(7); ESTIMATES OF THE LOCATION AND'NUMBER OF ACRES <br />TO BE AFFECTED IN THE COMING YEAR. <br />It is not expected the areas of affected land will <br />change significantly in the next year. However, final plans <br />are being examined for moving into Phase II in the next <br />couple of years as Phase I approaches completion. It is <br />possible in the next year the bottom of the existing pit to <br />the east of Phase I will be extended to maximum depth. If <br />that occurs there will be a probable delay in the initiation <br />of mining in Phase II. <br />MAP; Enclosed is the annual report map. Comparison to <br />last year's map shows how little the operation has changed, <br />with the exception of the phase sequence changes and the <br />addition of the northwest corner. <br />Page 2 of 2 SNYDER QI.Y-1RF2Y 1989-1990 ANNUAL REPORT <br />
