EXHIBIT B <br /> SITE DESCRIPTION <br /> OPERATION NAME: STRODE PIT <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 Eckley-Wages complex soils (see attached Soil Map). <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 topsoil is gravelly sand which will be used as <br /> concrete aggregate. The pit run material will be removed to a 15-25' depth <br /> from a easterly facing excavations. <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 generally steep and hilly. The final <br /> affected slopes will be reclaimed to a condition of 4:1 or flatter. <br /> 7. Vertical pit walls will not be necessary. <br /> 8. An existing unnamed dry drainage runs along the northeastern edge of the <br /> permit area and drains in a northwesterly direction. Two drainage gulches lie <br /> in an general north-south orientation across the pit area and drain to the north <br /> to the dry drainage. After reclamation the pit will drain in the same manner <br /> toward this drainage (as the property does currently) and ultimately to the <br /> South Fork of the Republican River to the north. <br /> 9. Kit Carson County Road 6 lies to the southwesterly side of the pit <br /> boundary and is the only structure in the area. The Structure Agreement <br /> for this road is attached. <br /> 10.
