I-2 <br /> The majority of the Permit Area consists of sandy soils, although Loup-Boel loamy sands, typically <br /> exhibiting 0-3% slopes, are identified as swales and drainage ways in certain landform settings and are <br /> specifically mapped within the drainage running through the east portion of Section 12 (i.e., Ennis Draw). <br /> Site specific soil information is also provided on the Sample Point Data Forms included in Appendix 1(and <br /> more specifically,Appendix C,thereof). <br /> TABLE 1-1: SUMMARY OF MAPPED SOILS DATA <br /> 04 <br /> Loup: H1 —0 to 16; loamy sand <br /> Loup-Boel loamy sands, 0 to 3% H2— 16 to 40; loamy sand <br /> 35 slopes H3—40 to 60; sandy loam Poorly drained <br /> Boel: H1 —0 to 14; loamy sand <br /> H2— 14 to 60• loamy sand <br /> H1 —0 to 10; loamy sand <br /> 45 Oiney loamy sand, 3 to 5% slopes H2— 10 to 20; sandy clay loam Well drained <br /> H3—20 to 25; sandy clay loam <br /> H4—25 to 60;fine sandy loam <br /> H1 —0 to 22; sand <br /> 49 Osgood sand, 0-3% slopes H2—22 to 34; sandy loam Well drained <br /> H3—34 to 60• sand <br /> A—0 to 5; sand <br /> 69 Valent sand, 0-3% slopes AC—5 to 12; sand Excessively <br /> C1 — 12 to 30; sand drained <br /> C2—30 to 80; sand <br /> A—0 to 5; sand <br /> 70 Valent sand, 3-9%slopes AC—5 to 12; sand Excessively <br /> C1 — 12 to 30; sand drained <br /> C2—30 to 80; sand <br /> The predominant soil type present within the Permit Area is Map Unit Symbol 49,that being Osgood sand, <br /> possibly grading into the Valent sand at the far eastern extent of(and exterior to) the Permit Area. Thus, <br /> on the basis of USDA soil mapping, the typical soil profile expected to occur within the Permit Area is <br /> presumed to be comprised of sand, sandy loam, and sand over at least the initial 5 ft. of depth. <br /> CSC has completed numerous soil borings and/or exploration drill holes throughout the Permit Area, <br /> virtually all of which verify the presence of sand, presumably of the Osgood classification, as being <br /> ubiquitous across the site. A more detailed description of the Osgood Series (as described in the USDA <br /> National Cooperative Soil Survey; 2006)is provided(in part)as follows: <br /> Keenesburg No. 2 Mine-112 Reclamation Operation—November 22, 2019 <br />
