MINING PLAN EXHIBIT D(CONT) <br /> extension of the north property line fence that is used as the <br /> new boundary. The east boundary incorporates points that were <br /> corners in the Counties Orphan View Gravel Pit permit and <br /> follows 4 new courses until it returns to the southeast corner <br /> of the existing permit boundary. Along the west side the fence <br /> is the boundary between the Ted Franciscotti Pit #1 and this <br /> permit . It is also the property ownership boundary on that <br /> side. Within this area is the existing permit area, shown on <br /> the Pre-Mining Plan Map as a green line. <br /> The road was constructed of gravel with graded runoff <br /> ditches on each side. It is 20 feet wide with a slight crown <br /> to allow for drainage. Any runoff from the road will be <br /> retained on site and allowed to soak into the ground or evapo- <br /> rate. The road will be maintained as needed. <br /> SOLLS AND OVERBURDEN <br /> The SOILS MAP in EXHIBIT I shows the soil types as delin- <br /> eated by the National Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) <br /> obtained from the internet WSS web site. The information <br /> contained in EXHIBIT I/J will provide background levels for the <br /> site as reclamation begins on the entire area. <br /> There are 4 types of soils found on the site. These soils <br /> are typical throughout the Huerfano River Valley and they have <br /> no unusual qualities that would prevent them from being used to <br /> resoil the disturbed area. The four types of natural soils are <br /> designated as map units : 17-Fort Collins loam, 1 to 3% slopes, <br /> 62-Otero sandy loam, 1 to 9% slopes, 77-Schamber-Midway com- <br /> plex, 3 to 25% slopes and 91-Wiley-Kandrix complex, 1 to 6 <br /> percent slopes, cool. See the soils map in the NRCS report for <br /> how the soils are distributed on the permit area. More detail <br /> information including, the soils description and engineering <br /> qualities, can be found starting on page 28 in this applica- <br /> tion. <br /> Based on the soils report and on site observations there <br /> are sufficient quantities of soil available to reclaim the <br /> disturbed lands to their present condition. The soils in this <br /> area may not be of the highest quality, but when salvaged and <br /> replaced should be capable of growing vegetation consistent <br /> with what is there now. The average depth of topsoil on the <br /> site according to the NRCS report is 0 to 7 inches deep. Using <br /> 5 . 0 inches as the average we calculate there should be 28, 100 <br /> WSG- Hribar Pit Amendment 9 November 2020 <br />
