10. Cover Types: Estimate the acreage of the site with each of the following cover types before and after development: 11. Before After Types 1-8 wetlands 11.43 11.43 Wooded/forest 5.02 5.02 Brush/Grassland 49.61 49.61 Cropland 0 0 Lawn/landscaping 0 0 Impervious surfaces 0 0 Other (describe) 0 0 TOTAL 66.06 66.06 If before and after totals are not equal, explain why: The estimated acreage of cover types at the Site is based on the percentage of various cover types as determined from review of the aerial photographs. At this time it is estimated that all mining activities will occur in brush/grassland areas. These areas will be restored to their original condition upon completion of the mining activities. Fish, Wildlife and Ecologically Sensitive Resources: Identify fish and wildlife resources and habitats on or near the site and describe how they would be affected by the project. Describe any measures to be taken to minimize or avoid impacts. Fish and wildlife resources on and near the Site include the wetland areas located throughout the Site. No alteration of the wetlands is anticipated at this time. Prior to starting work, all wetlands will be delineated and marked as required. There is little tree cover in the areas of the proposed mining, therefore the removal of trees will be minimal. No mining is proposed in the wooded areas at this time. Efforts to minimize impact from the proposed operation will include adherence to a proposed grading plan to control runoff and completion of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). Upon completion of the mining, the Site will be restored to a natural condition.
