The native A profile of the upland <br /> terrace found within the agricultural Fields at the TRP, is predominantly <br /> modified as a plow (Ap) layer of 6.0± to 8.0± inches. The historic practice of <br /> incorporating manure into the plow layer should have served to maintain the <br /> organic base and quality of the cropped soils and accelerated soil horizon <br /> formation and development where it was lagging. Since the cropped soils <br /> have been irrigated, care should be taken not to salvage soils greater than <br /> 12.0± inches in depth to avoid mixing of potential accumulated salts. <br /> Generally, total soil depth (including all soil horizons) over the property may <br /> vary from approximately zero inches to four [4.0±] feet, yet predominantly <br /> having a shallow Ap plow layer of six to eight [6-8±] inches, lacking a B profile <br /> and having the potential for a mixture of silt, clay, or gravel outcrops over <br /> random areas. Gravel depth may occur from the surface to the underlying Fox <br /> Hills Sandstone varying at approximately 30.0± to 45.0± feet over the entire <br /> property. Suitable soil in excess of that needed for reclamation will be made <br /> commercially available to meet area infrastructure and residential demand. <br /> Soils found within the entire project area are described more thoroughly <br /> under Exhibit I - Soils Exhibit, and the attending Exhibit I/J - Soils and <br /> VARRA COMPANIES, INC.
