RULE 2 PERMITS <br />2.04.12 Prime Farmland Investigation <br />In order to determine the presence of potential prime farmlands within the permit area, a reconnaissance <br />inspection was conducted to determine if any prime farmland was present in those areas to be disturbed <br />by surface operations or facilities. Results of the investigation indicate that all of the area to be disturbed <br />by surface operations or facilities can be excluded as prime farmland, since the land has not historically <br />been used as cropland. This conclusion is based upon consultation with the local USDA/NRCS office. <br />Based also on soil- survey information supplied by the Soil Conservation Service, no soil series <br />encountered on the area have been designated as soil mapping units applicable as prime farmland. Please <br />refer to the materials located in Volume 19, Exhibit 9, Item 9 for copies of the relevant correspondence. <br />Based upon the soil survey conducted by the U.S. Soil Conservation Service and subsequent <br />interpretation of that survey by the SCS, Colowyo is hereby requesting a negative determination for prime <br />farmland. <br />2.04.13 Annual Reclamation Report <br />Colowyo has been and will continue to submit annual reclamation reports for all permitted mining areas. <br />Collom — Rule 2, Page 90 Revision Date: 9/28/11 <br />Revision No.: PR -03 <br />
