Negative Results Report <br />Cultural Resource Survey <br />Mountain Coal's Sunset Trail Lease Modifications Permit Revision #PR -15 <br />Gunnison County, Colorado <br />Figure 2. Overview of project area with Mount Gunnison in the background. <br />View is to the southeast. <br />Soil data in the APE is based on the web soil survey data compiled by the Natural Resources <br />Conservation Service (NRCS). The soil series represented within the APE are presented in Table 1 in <br />order of dominance (NRCS 2018). <br />The vegetation community in the APE is classified as montane and includes aspen, fir, spruce, Gambel <br />oak, ferns, wild rose bush, and other low forbs. Fauna includes coyotes, cottontails, foxes, bobcats, <br />rodents, and various bird species. Mule deer, black bear, and elk are also abundant. <br />Table 1. Soil series in the APE. <br />Soil Series <br />Slope Range <br />Description <br />Wetopa-Wesdy complex <br />5-65% <br />Consists of deep well -drained soils formed by colluvium of sandstone and <br />shale. These soils are found on mountain slopes. <br />Taterheap-Papaspila <br />5-40% <br />Consists of deep well -drained loam followed by clay loam and sandy loam <br />complex <br />formed by colluvium derived from rhyolite, andesite, or breccia and <br />weathered residuum. These soils are found on mesas, mountains, and <br />benches. <br />Herm-Fughes-Kolob family <br />25-40% <br />Consists of deep well -drained soils formed by interbedded alluvium derived <br />complex <br />from sandstone and shale or interbedded residuum. These soils are found <br />on mountains. <br />Shawa-Sandia family-Kolob <br />5-40% <br />Consists of deep well -drained loam followed by cobbly loam formed by <br />family complex <br />interbedded colluvium or residuum derived from sandstone or shale. These <br />soils are found on mountain slopes and benches. <br />Scout-Needleton families <br />5-65% <br />Consists of deep well -drained gravelly loam and very gravelly sandy loam <br />complex <br />formed by colluvium derived from andesite, rhyolite, breccia, or basalt. <br />These soils are found on mountains. <br />Cryochrepts-Cryoborolls <br />15-90% <br />Consists of shallow well -drained soils formed by colluvium or residuum <br />Rubble land complex <br />derived from basalt, tuff breccia, andesite, or rhyolite. These soils are <br />found on mesas, canyons, and mountains. <br />ERO Project #10145 3 <br />
