EXHIBIT B <br /> SITE DESCRIPTION <br /> (a) Attached general soil map from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation <br /> Service shows the soil characteristics for the area of the proposed operation in S24 T16 <br /> R43 (Exhibit B, Attachment A). The soil type, Haverson loam is detailed below. <br /> Haverson Series <br /> The Haverson series consists of deep, well drained soils on level and nearly level stream <br /> terraces and flood plains. These soils formed in mixed alluvium. Slope is 0-1 percent. <br /> The average annual precipitation is 13 to 17 inches. <br /> Haverson soils are near Satanta, Bankard, Glenberg, and Fort Collins soils. Satanta soils <br /> have a mollic surface layer. Satanta and Fort Collins soils have an argillic horizon. <br /> Bankard and Glenberg soils have more sand throughout than the Haverson soils. <br /> Haverson soils are fine-loamyh, mixed (calcareous), mesic Ustic Torrifluvents. <br /> The Haverson series consists of very deep, well drained soils that formed in alluvium <br /> from mixed sources. Haverson soils are on floodplains and low terraces and have slopes <br /> of 0 to 9 percent. The mean annual precipitation is about 15 inches and the mean annual <br /> air temperature is about 49 degrees F. These soils are used as native <br /> pastureland/grassland, dry farm land or irrigated cropland. Native vegetation is mixed <br /> grasses, cottonwoods and brush. The vegetation at the mine site is native pastureland. <br /> (b) The surface landowner of affected mining site has a man-made barbed wired fence <br /> structure within 200 feet of the proposed operation area. The fence runs along the <br /> eastern and northern boundaries of the mining site boundary extending westward north <br /> of the access roadway outside the active mining boundary. <br /> (c) The attached map and data from the local United States Department of Agriculture <br /> Natural Resource Conservation District office shows the water resources for the <br /> proposed operation area(Exhibit B, Attachment B). The White Woman Creek passes <br /> nearby the proposed area and is dry. <br /> (d) Wildlife statement prepared by the Colorado Division of Wildlife not required. <br />
