EXHIBIT B <br /> SITE DESCRIPTION <br /> (a) The attached general soil map from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Soil <br /> Conservation Service shows the soil characteristics for the area of the proposed operation <br /> in S33 T13 R43 (Exhibit B, Attachment A). The soil type, Bankard-Glenberg complex is <br /> detailed below. <br /> Bankard Series <br /> The bankard series consists of deep, somewhat excessively drained soils on low terraces <br /> and fans bordering intermittent drainageways. These soils formed in sandy alluvium. <br /> Slope is 0 to 1 percent. The average annual precipitation is about 13 to 17 inches. <br /> Bankard soils are near Glenberg, Haverson, and Sampson soils. Glenberg soils have a <br /> course-loamy control section. Sampson soils are pachic. Haverson soils have a fine- <br /> loamy control section. <br /> Bankard soils are sandy, mixed, mesic Ustic Torrifluvents.Vegetation consists of mostly <br /> blue grama,western wheatgrass and bluestem. <br /> Glenberg Series <br /> The Glenberg series consists of deep, well drained soils on low terraces and flood plains. <br /> These soils formed in sandy alluvium. Slope is 0 to 1 percent. The average annual <br /> precipitation is 13 to 17 inches. <br /> Glenberg soils are near Bankard, Valent, and Haverson soils. Bankard soils have less <br /> clay in the control section than the Glenberg soils. Valent soils are not stratified. <br /> Haverson soils are more clayey than the Glenberg soils. Vegetation mostly consists of <br /> pastureland,including blue grama,wheatgrass and bluestem. <br /> Glenberg soils are coarse-loamy, mixed(calcareous), mesic Ustic Torrifluvents. <br /> The Bankard-Glenberg description from the USDA Natural Resources Conservation <br /> Service Web Soil Survey is outlined in the Exhibit B, Attachment A. <br /> (b) The surface landowner of affected mining site has a man-made barbed wired fence structure within <br /> 200 feet of the proposed operation area. The fence is approximately 20 feet north of the northern <br /> permit boundary. <br /> (c) The attached map and data from Colorado Division of Water Resources map shows the <br /> water resources for the proposed operation area(Exhibit B, Attachment B). The Smoky <br /> Hill River passes near the proposed area but is dry. No other water resources are near <br /> the proposed mining site. <br /> (d) Wildlife statement prepared by the Colorado Division of Wildlife not required. <br />
