EXHIBIT B <br />SITE DESCRIPTION: The site is open rangeland approximately 6 miles west and 1 <br />mile north of Hereford Colorado. The site is currently being dryland farmed in wheat <br />rotation. The site is generally flat with a small bluff dropping off on the western edge. <br />The mining area begins 1450 ft east of the southwest corner of section 22, T12N, R <br />63W, 6th PM in Weld County Colorado. The mining site begins 15 ft north of the south <br />section line and extends northwest on a heading of 334 degrees for 900' to the <br />northwest corner of the mining area. Then proceed east on a heading of 090 degrees <br />for a distance of 480 ft to the northeast corner of the mining area. Then proceed <br />southeast on a heading of 154 degrees for a distance of 900 ft to the southeast corner <br />of the mining area. Then proceed west on a heading of 270 degrees for a distance of <br />480 ft back to the southwest corner of the mining area. The soils in the mining area <br />consist of primarily of Peetz, gravelly sandy loam on the west edge and Ascalon sandy <br />loam on the east edge. The areas not farmed are covered in native range grasses and <br />the farmed areas are in wheat production. There are no permanent manmade structures <br />within 200 ft of the affected area. There are no water resources in the mining area or the <br />immediate vicinity. The nearest defined drainage is Porter Creek located approximately <br />1200 ft west of the mine site and about 50 ft lower in elevation. It is our opinion that <br />neither the surface or the groundwater systems will be directly affected by this mining <br />operation and that no discharge permits will be required. <br />
