The holes are not located on an existing Federal Coal Lease. Surface ownership <br />for drill sites and potentially disturbed lands is with the Federal Government, administered by <br />the BLM. Private surface within the NOI is limited to lands immediately adjacent to the <br />White River. Explicit permission will be obtained from any landowner before crossing their <br />land. <br />Item 4. Land use in the proposed exploration area consists of wildlife habitat and winter <br />sheep grazing. <br />Soils are derived primarily from sandstones and shales. Occasionally the soil profile exhibits <br />considerable interbedding of parent materials. Soils in the area are generally weakly <br />developed with low organic matter content. Drill sites are located in Rentsac-Moyerson- <br />Turley-Yamac soil groups. These soils are considered shallow to moderately deep, well <br />drained, weakly developed, and clay loam to sandy clay loam in texture. <br />Vegetation is predominately of the big sagebrush/wheatgrass community with a substantial <br />invasion of cheatgrass. Some juniper occurs in the area. <br />The drill sites north of the White River are located in side drainages leading to Red Wash, a <br />tributary to the White River. Drill sites south of the White River are located in various <br />ephemeral drainages leading to the White River. <br />Prior drilling in the area indicated no presence of a groundwater aquifer. Any groundwater <br />encountered was very limited in extent indicating origination from an aquiclude. <br />Drill site locations were selected based on target location and adjusted to minimize <br />disturbance and environmental impact. Slopes are gentle ranging from 2 to 10%.
