EXHIBIT B <br />SITE DESCRIPTION <br />COUNTY: Kit Carson <br />OPERATOR: Castle Rock Construction Co. of Colorado, LLC <br />1. The area designated within the pit limits is currently hilly rangeland used for <br />livestock grazing only. <br />2. Soils on the grass land are ridge top typical of Kit Carson County and are <br />classified as Cascajo soils and gravelly land. <br />3. Topsoil is 4 -6 inches, silty -sandy M -L, CL type by the Unified Soil <br />Classification. <br />4. The soil beneath the overburden is gravelly sand which will be used as <br />dirt borrow material. The pit run material will be removed to a 10 -15' depth <br />from a easterly facing excavation. <br />5. Clumps of natural grasses including blue grama, buffalo grass and western <br />wheatgrass exist along with weedy vegetation. <br />6. The existing slopes vary in slope but are moderately steep at 2:1 or steeper. <br />The final slopes will be reclaimed to a condition of 4:1 or flatter. <br />7. Vertical pit walls will not be necessary. <br />8. The existing property spans a ridge that runs north -south through the <br />property. The property drains both in the northeasterly and <br />northwesterly directions from the top of the ride. After reclamation the <br />pit will slope downward toward the north, allowing the area to drain <br />toward to the north to near the north pit limit and then to the east as a <br />portion of the property does currently. Ulitmate drainage is to South <br />Fork of the Republican River which lie to the north. <br />9. There is an existing CDOT right of way fence that runs east -west on the north <br />edge of the pit limits. A temporary gate will be installed in this fence line <br />where the temporary access crosses. <br />10. The right of way fence is the property of CDOT with which the project <br />construction is under contract, including replacement of the existing fence. A <br />CDOT Access Permit has been applied for and initial approval is attached. <br />11. An underground fiber optic line runs parallel to the right of way fence and lies <br />inside of the CDOT right of way to the north of the pit limits and belongs to <br />Century Link. This is the only utility near the affected area. <br />12. There are no other fences or structures on or around the property. <br />
