deep Typic Haplaquolls) are found in the mid to lower reaches of the swales <br /> and exhibit good quality soil to a depth of about 24 inches . The fine-loamy, <br /> mixed, mesic, deep Typic Haplaquolls are found in the lower reaches of the <br /> swales and along Calamity Draw. These soils have sandy loam and loam textures <br /> to a depth of about four feet with sandy clay loam below that. The soils were <br /> classified as Haplaquolls because of soil wetness . However, this diagnostic <br /> factor is artificially induced because of irrigation water. The soils were <br /> formed in the alluvium of the swales . Fair to good quality topsoil exists in <br /> the swale areas in thicknesses from 1 .2 to over 4 feet. <br /> Stipulation No. 11 <br /> Reincorporate the baseline information and maps from the old Peabody <br /> permit concerning "Nucla East" topsoil recovery and prime farmland <br /> designation into the New Horizon Mine 2 permit document. <br /> Vegetation, Wildlife and Land Use <br /> Five vegetation communities are found in the present New Horizon Mine 1 permit <br /> area: annual grains and hay (agricultural) , grassland, upland sagebrush, <br /> juniper, and riparian. Agricultural and grassland communities predominate. <br /> The grassland community is an abandoned hayfield. The upland sagebrush <br /> community dominates on lands not disturbed by agricultural practices . The <br /> juniper community covers 1 .8 acres . This type is actually an agricultural <br /> sub-type as the herbaceous understory is alfalfa hay meadow. Utah juniper <br /> trees are well scattered. The riparian community covers 1 .9 acres and occurs <br /> along drainages . <br /> Six general vegetation types are found on the New Horizon Mine 2 area: <br /> irrigated pasture, irrigated hayland, irrigated cropland (small grains) , <br /> Swale/drainage, sagebrush/grass , and various miscellaneous types related to <br /> old farmsteads , abandoned orchards , and disturbed areas . The New Horizon 2 <br /> area is more intensively used for agricultural purposes than the New Horizon <br /> Mine I area was . Irrigated agricultural land (pasture , hayland , and cropland) <br /> comprises 130. 9 acres , or 59. 5 percent of the total 219. 9-acre permit area. <br /> The swale/drainage vegetation type accounts for 56.3 acres , or 25. 6 percent of <br /> the total proposed permit area addition , while the upland area sagebrushJgrass <br /> type covers 24. 1 acres , or 11 .0 percent. Miscellaneous types account for the <br /> remainder of the land area (8.6 acres , or 3.9 percent) . <br /> The New Horizon Mine 1 permit area and surrounding area is used by a large <br /> variety of wildlife including coyotes , fox , mule deer, elk ( in the winter) and <br /> numerous bird species . <br /> Description of the Operations and Reclamation Plan <br /> New Horizon Mine I <br /> The presently permitted New Horizon Mine 1 encompasses 426. 6 acres of which <br /> 145.7 acres was affected my mining activities . Several areas of ungraded <br /> "pre-law" spoils existed when Peabody acquired the mine in 1963. These areas <br /> were reclaimed in conjunction with existing mine operations . Since 1986 and <br /> inclusive of 1988, coal was removed at a combined total of 311 ,750 tons from <br /> 10- <br />
