This is in reference to an on-site investigation of a proposed gravel pit site.
The field visit was completed on May 11, 2001. The purpose of the
investigation was to develop a reclamation plan to be implemented after
mining is completed. The pit site is located in the SW 1/4 of the NE 1/4; the
South 1/2 of the NW 1/4; the SW 1/4; the West 1/2 of the SE 1/4 of
Section 24 in T21S R63W. The following information may be used to fulfill
reclamation requirements.
The site is not prime farmland. The owner of the land is Pritekel Brothers
Farm LLC. Fremont Paving will be responsible for reclamation. The post -
mining land use is grazing. It is not anticipated that groundwater will be
intercepted by this activity.
The soil identified on soil map #24 from the Pueblo Area Soil Survey is a
Cascajo very gravelly sandy loam, 5 - 15% slopes. This soil is more fully
described in the attached material including a non-technical description of
the soil mapping unit. Copies are included of three tables from our soil
survey database: Engineering Index Properties, Physical and Chemical
Properties and Soil Interpretations - Gravel. Please note that these
properties are typical of the native, undisturbed soil.
The vegetation on the pit site consists primarily of grasses including blue
grama, red threeawn, and ring muhly. Forbs and shrubs in the area include
scarlet globemallow, slimflower scurfpea, yucca, walkingstick cactus, plains
prickly pear, and a variety of forbs . Cover ranges from 15% to 20%.
Production varies from 550 to 650 pounds per acre. See the attached for
more detailed information on plant composition based on the inventory
conducted May 11, 2001. The site's current ecological condition is fair,
related to ecological site productivity and composition.
