EXHIBIT B SITE DESCRIPTION <br /> 1. Location and General Land Use Information <br /> The site is located along Looney Lane and is composed of and surrounded by dry rangeland. The <br /> Mosquito Creek is approximately 100 feet north and over 350 feet to the east of the active <br /> mining area. The site is approximately 0.5 miles south southeast of alma, Colorado. <br /> 2. Site Geology <br /> Site geology consists of 0-4 inches of topsoil over glaciofluvial deposits (upper Pleistocene). <br /> Quaternary aged alluvium and terrace gravels. These deposits consist of subrounded to rounded <br /> pebbles, cobbles, and boulders in a sandy matrix. Some material may have been deposited by <br /> meltwater flowing within or under glaciers, but most are probably outwash (stratified drift <br /> deposited by meltwater beyond glacier margins). Clasts make up a larger percentage of these <br /> deposits than are found in nearby glacial units. Estimated thickness is 3 to 65 ft. There are no <br /> hazardous or acid forming materials expected to be encountered during excavation. <br /> 1.1 Mine Tailings <br /> Two areas of known mine tailings dumps have been identified on site. One makes up the <br /> southwest portion of the site and includes the rubble of some sort of processing facility (Figure <br /> B-1). Slag metal is present in small portion of this dump. A second dump of tailings can be seen <br /> in the old grade that runs north-south through the site. This dump is readily identifiable by the <br /> material color and sulfur smell emanating from it. Disturbance areas for cobble and the storage <br /> yard will stay at least 50' from these dumps and the dumps will not be disturbed by activities in <br /> this permit. Map E-1 shows the location of the old dumps and associated material. Map E-2 <br /> shows the setbacks maintained from this material. <br /> LMC B-1 GmV txw"i and Associates,PLIA <br /> October 2020 <br />
