VEGETATION ON THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS DESCRIBED IN EXHIBIT J OF THE REGULAR 112 PERMIT APPLICATION. IN GENERAL, SIGNIFICANT EXISTING VEGETATION IS FOUND ONLY AT THE FRINGES OF THE SITE, OUT OF THE PROPOSED AFFECTED AREA, DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF AGRICULTURE AND CATTLE PRODUCTION ON THE SITE. 2.THE AFFECTED AREA WILL AVOID ANY SIGNIFICANT EXISTING VEGETATION. THE ISOLATED WETLAND WEST OF PHASE 1, ABUTTING THE RAILROAD TRACKS IS A FORMER STOCKWATER OR SUMP POND (AND MAY NOT PREPARED BY: ON BANKS AND GESSO, LLC. ■■ 720 KIPLING ST., SUITE 117 LAKEWOOD, COLORADO 80215 (303) 274 -4277 BE JURISDICTIONAL), AND WILL BE BUFFERED BY AT LEAST 25 FEET OF NO DISTURBANCE UNDER THE PERMIT. THE ISOLATED WETLAND ALONG THE NORTHERN EDGE OF PHASE 2 WILL ALSO BE BUFFERED BY 25 FEET RELATIVE TO ALL OPERATIONS. 3. TO THE EAST AND NORTH OF THE AFFECTED LAND, THE FLOODPLAIN OF THE FOUNTAIN CREEK SUPPORTS A CANOPY OF COTTONWOODS. THE COTTONWOOD CANOPY IS DEPICTED ON THIS PUN AND IS ASSOCIATED WITH OTHER RIPARIAN VEGETATION INCLUDING SHRUBS, GRASSES, FORBS, AND OTHER PERENNIAL PUNTS.

TEMPORARY NATIVE GRASS SEED MIXTURE WILL BE USED AS A COVER CROP FOR ALL STOCKPILES TO REMAIN IN PLACE FOR ONE YEAR DR LONGER. 5. WETLAND BUFFERS. THE OPERATOR WILL AVOID IMPACTS TO EXISTING WETLANDS. AS ILLUSTRATED, A SETBACK OF AT LEAST 25 FEET WILL BE MAINTAINED BETWEEN ALL MINING RELATED ACTIVITIES AND JURISDICTIONAL WETLANDS. 6. ACCESS ROAD AND CONVEYOR. THE OPERATOR WILL MAINTAIN AN ACCESS ROAD AND CONVEYOR EQUIPMENT THROUGH THE APPROXIMATE CENTER OF THE MINED AREAS. ALIGNMENT MAY BE ADJUSTED AS MINING PROCEEDS TO ACCOUNT FOR VARIOUS MINING AND RECLAMATION ACTIVITIES. 7. FRESHWATER POND. ALL STORKWATER FROM DISTURBED AREAS WILL BE DIRECTED TO THE FRESHWATER POND FOR DETENTION AND WATER QUALITY PURPOSES. THE FRESHWATER POND WILL ALSO CONTAIN ADEQUATE VOLUME TO STORE AND CLARIFY DEWATERING WATER PRIOR TO DISCHARGE. 8. DEWATERING PROCESS. TRENCHES OR PIPES WILL BE USED TO CONVEY PUMPED WATER TO THE FRESHWATER POND FOR CLARIFICATION, THEN CONSUMPTIVE USE OR DISCHARGE. ALL DEPLETION OF GROUNDWATER WILL BE ACCOUNTED FOR BY A PUN OF AUGMENTATION OR SUBSTITUTE WATER SUPPLY. 9. THE OPERATOR WILL STRIP AND STOCKPILE TOPSOIL AND OVERBURDEN FROM THE PROCESSING AREA PRIOR TO THE COMMENCEMENT OF MINING. RECOVERY OF MATERIAL WITHIN THE FOOTPRINT OF THE FRESHWATER POND WILL THEN TAKE PUCE, WITH SOME OVERBURDEN TO BE BACKFILLED TO ACHIEVE FUNCTIONAL GRADING WITH THE FRESHWATER POND.
