Stoddard Pit <br /> Exhibit B - Site description <br /> The attached information was obtained from the basic soils and vegetation <br /> information on the USDA's national soils information page and the soil <br /> survey of Otero County, Colorado. <br /> The soil over the entire proposed mine location consists of Minnequa- <br /> Manvel silt loams, 1 to 6 percent dry slopes. <br /> See appendix for photos of the site showing native grasses and <br /> vegetation. <br /> On-site test holes indicate layers of shale rock 6-12" below the surface. <br /> Man Made Structures <br /> There are no man made structures within 200' of the site. The <br /> closest man made structure is a 70' X 140' metal shop building owned by <br /> John Stoddard. It is located 203' west of the west boundary of the site. <br /> Water Resources <br /> There is no water source located on the site. The closest well is <br /> located 465' west of the west boundary of the site. It is owned by John <br /> and Loretta Stoddard. It has a depth of 510 . The water table is located at <br /> a depth of 270'. Due to the depth of the water table, hydrologic balance <br /> will not be affected. <br /> There are no streams, springs, lakes, stock water ponds, ditches, <br /> reservoirs or aquifers that would receive drainage directly from the <br /> affected area. Stormwater will remain on site due to the lack of slope, and <br /> will be allowed to soak back into the soil. <br /> If water is needed for dust control it will be purchased from the city <br /> of La Junta. Stoddard Construction has an account with the city of La <br /> Junta, and currently uses a fire hydrant located on south San Juan Ave. for <br /> filling. <br />
