I-1 <br /> EXHIBIT I <br /> SOILS INFORMATION <br /> Per Rule 6.4.9 — Soils Information: (1) In consultation with the Soil Conservation Service or other <br /> qualified person, the Operator/Applicant shall indicate on a map (in Exhibit C) or by a statement, the <br /> general type, thickness, and distribution of soil over the affected land Such description will address <br /> suitability of topsoil(or other material)for establishment and maintenance of plant growth. The above <br /> information shall satisfy "completeness"requirements for purposes of determination of date of filing; <br /> (2)If necessary, at its discretion, the Board may require additional information on soils or other growth <br /> media to be stockpiled and used in revegetation to be submitted subsequent to the filing and notification <br /> of"completeness"of the application. <br /> Refer to Exhibit C-4: Affected Area- Soils Mapping for a depiction of the soil units present within the <br /> Keenesburg No. 2 Mine Permit Area. The following supplemental information is provided, and should be <br /> considered in conjunction with the map-depicted data. <br /> Mapping depicting soil unit boundaries within the Permit Area and vicinity is also provided in Appendix 1: <br /> Environmental Resources Report (and more specifically, Appendix A - Figure 3, thereof). A U.S. <br /> Department of Agriculture(USDA)Natural Resources Conservation Service Custom Soil Resource Report <br /> is provided within the Appendix 1 documentation. <br /> In addition to the foregoing, a summary of the mapped soils is also provided as Table I-1: Summary of <br /> Mapped Soils Data,below. <br /> There is no evidence to suggest that the proposed mining location has been anything other than undeveloped <br /> rangeland. Accordingly,it is not anticipated that"refuse"materials will be encountered. To the extent any <br /> such materials may be encountered, CSC will ensure that disposition of any such materials will be <br /> accomplished in a manner consistent with all applicable laws,regulations,and ordinances. <br /> Per the USDA soils data,the Peoria Loess that is to be mined is only slightly alkaline. All mining activity <br /> will stay within such materials; no bedrock or other types of material are anticipated to be encountered. <br /> Thus,no acid generating or toxic materials are anticipated to be present within the mined materials. <br /> Keenesburg No. 2 Mine-112 Reclamation Operation—November 22, 2019 <br />
