Most of these soils are in rangeland <br /> and still have native grasses. There is a topsoil depth of approximately 4" <br /> over the pit area. The Soil survey indicates these soils are not suitable for <br /> cultivation and should remain in grass. <br /> b) Permanent man-made structures <br /> There are two permanent man-made structures within 200 feet of the affected <br /> area. One is the perimeter fence on the north and east maintained by land <br /> owner Jay Goddard. The second is a power pole serving as a guy support. It <br /> lies in the very northeast corner of the pit and will not be close to any mining <br /> activity. <br /> c) Water resources <br /> The excavation will not occur within a drainage area. Aside from runoff <br /> during rainfall,the excavation should not encounter any water during mining. <br /> Rainfall in the area averages about 16.3 inches per year. The site will <br /> generally not be impacted by water. The water table in the area is over 50 feet <br /> deep. <br />
