Exhibit B <br />2) The operator shall provide the following information: <br />a) A description of the vegetation and soil characteristics in the area of the <br />proposed operation acquired from the Elbert County NRSC. <br />Soil types are the Bresser-Truckton-Blakeland complex, 3 to 9 percent slopes, <br />map symbol BtD; Wiley and Colby soils, 5 to 18 percent slopes, map symbol WcE; and <br />Yoder-Truckton-Lismus complex, map symbol Yt. <br />The area vegetation and types and yields are included in the report attached. <br />Provided by Ben Hendrix, District Conservationist, stationed at the Simla Field office in <br />Simla, Colorado. <br />b) Identify each man-made structure within two hundred (200) feet of the <br />affected area and the owner of each structure. <br />The only man-made structure on or within two hundred (200) feet of the <br />affected area is County Road 189 and barb wire fences, and, if needed, the applicant will <br />make an agreement with the Elbert County and the neighbor to the west. There will be a <br />25 foot no-mining buffer zone starting at the 110 permit boundary. Please see Exhibit <br />"E"-Map. <br />c) A description of the water resources in the area of the proposed operation. <br />The proposed operation is located in and west of a drainage "swale" (dry <br />creek) that flows north to the Big Sandy Creek, and all of the storm water that flows <br />offsite from the surrounding area will run into a drainage that is a tributary to the Big <br />Sandy Creek. A Stormwater Discharge Permit will be acquired from the State of <br />Colorado Water Resources Division that will be designed to prevent any drainage from <br />the mining area from going into the Big Sandy Creek. <br />d) A wildlife statement is not required. However it is unlikely that any wildlife <br />species will be impacted negatively.
