In Section 2.04. 10 p.11 of the PAP, litter measured on the big sagebrush vegetation type is <br />reported as 33.4724.67%. The Division is unsure what the litter value is meant to be. Please <br />correct and resubmit this page of the application. Item resolvedin,11(ty-2011 response� <br />4. Please resubmit Table 2.04,10-9: Irrigated Pasture Cover page 49; Part of this table was <br />obstructed during PAP compilation, Please resubmit Appendix Table 2.04.10-9 so all of the <br />data is legible. <br />Please resubmit Table 2.04.10-9, Irrigated Pasture Cover, on page 14 of the appendix.

On Map 2.04.10-2, titled "Adjacent Vegetation", there is a mapping unit identified as JSB <br />that is not defined in the legend. Please add this mapping unit to the legend and define this <br />mapping unit. Itent resoh,ed in 11 la1 >-2011 resImnse. <br />6. Rule 2.04.10(2) requires reference areas to be shown on a map. Neither proposed reference <br />area is located within the proposed permit area. The maps illustrating the proposed <br />reference areas, Map 2.04.10-3 and Map 2.04.10-4, do not show where the reference areas <br />are located with respect to the proposed permit area. Please include a map or a drawing <br />showing the location of the proposed reference areas relative to the proposed mine location. <br />Item resolved in A1ay-201 I resl)onse. <br />7. Vegetation Sampling, page 2 - It is stated in the text "map was prepared at a map scale of <br />one inch equals 200 feet and has two-foot contour interval." The corresponding map, <br />2.04.10 -1 has contour intervals of 5 feet. Please correct text to say contour intervals of 5 <br />feet. Item resolved in Hay-2011 resImnse. <br />8. Transect Locations, page 2 - A 50 meter tape was outstretched along a transect to gather <br />various plant data. This technique was described in great detail for the many different plant <br />communities and in the event an obstacle obstructed the transect. The transects are <br />documented on Map 2.04.10 -1 with a GPS accuracy of less than I decimeter. On the map, <br />the transects in the wetland areas are about 1/16" long while the transects in all other <br />vegetation types are about F long. Please explain why there is a differences in transect <br />length and describe the technique used. <br />In the May-2011 response, WFC, explained that a 50-meter transect length is impractical for <br />use in drainage swales.

Wetland, Shrub Density, page 18 - In regard to bullet #2 above, please explain the technique <br />used to determine 100 M2 belt transects with the shorter transects in the wetland areas. <br />The technique was described to the Division's satisfaction.
