11°°°° ‘ EXH I BIT I <br /> CROSSFIRE AGGREGRATE <br /> SERVICES,LLC <br /> Soils information for the Bonds Gravel Pit was obtained from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) <br /> Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS)web soil survey(USDA NRCS 2014). A soil survey map is <br /> enclosed in this section. <br /> The Ustic Torriorthents-Ustollic Haplargids complex, 12 to 60 percent slope overlays the majority of the <br /> action area (49%).This complex is located on terrace and mesa edges, and hills.The complex is deep and <br /> well drained. Permeability varies with the parent material texture. Rooting depth is 40 inches or more <br /> with low available water capacity.The complex has rapid runoff, a high hazard of soil erosion and with a <br /> low water storage capacity.The soil profile consists of 0 to 6 inches of very gravelly loam, and 6 to 60 <br /> inches of very gravelly sandy loam,very cobbly loam and gravelly loam.The main limitations of the <br /> complex are low available water capacity, steepness of slope, stoniness and high erosion hazard.These <br /> soils do not have prime farmland or farmland potential. <br /> The Witt loam, 3 to 8 percent slope soil comprises approximately 28%of the action area.This soil is <br /> generally located on uplands and mesas.The soil is well drained with a rooting depth of 60 inches or <br /> more. Available water storage capacity is high, runoff potential is medium and the erosion hazard is <br /> moderate.The soil profile consists of 0 to 10 inches of loam, and 10 to 34 inches of clay loam, silty clay <br /> loam, silt loam and loam. Soil unit can be used for either non-irrigated or irrigated crops.The main <br /> limitations of this soil are erosion, off-site runoff and low precipitation. If irrigated,this soil may be <br /> considered prime farmland. <br /> The Witt loam, 1 to 3 percent slope soil comprises approximately 21%of the action area.This soil is <br /> located on uplands and mesas.The soil is well drained with a rooting depth of 60 inches or more. <br /> Available water storage capacity is high, runoff potential is medium and the erosion hazard is moderate. <br /> The soil profile consists of 0 to 10 inches of loam, and 10 to 34 inches of clay loam, silty clay loam, silt <br /> loam and loam. Soil unit can be used for either non-irrigated or irrigated crops.The main limitations of <br /> this soil are erosion, off-site runoff and low precipitation. If irrigated,this soil may be considered prime <br /> farmland. <br /> The Nehar stony sandy loam soil comprises approximately 1%of the action area.This terrace and <br /> drainage-way soil has a slope of 1 to 6 percent.The soil is well drained with low water storage capacity, <br /> slow runoff and slight erosion potential.The soil profile consists of 0 to 4 inches of stony sandy loam; 4 <br /> to 13 inches of stony clay loam, stony loam, very cobbly clay loam and extremely stony clay loam; and 13 <br /> to 42 inches of extremely stony sandy loam,very stony sandy loam,very cobbly sandy loam and very <br /> cobbly clay loam. Soil unit can be used for either non-irrigated or irrigated crops.The main limitations of <br /> this soil are high shrink-swell potential, large stones and low soil strength.This soil does not have <br /> irrigation or prime farmland potential. <br /> The Shalona loam soil comprises approximately 1%of the action area.This high terrace soil has a slope <br /> of 1 to 6 percent.The soil unit is well drained,with slow runoff potential, a very high water storage <br /> capacity and a slight erosion hazard.The soil profile consists of 0 to 2 inches of loam, and 2 to 7 inches <br /> Prepared by Tegre Corp. <br /> 1199 Main Ave., Suite 101 Le e <br /> Durango, CO 81301 <br /> (970) 828-1811 <br />
