EXHIBIT I <br /> Soil Information <br /> At the end of this exhibit are some printouts from the NRCS website that describe many of the <br /> typical characteristics of the soils present on the site. Please refer to Exhibit C-2, Soils Map, for <br /> an illustration showing the distribution of the soils. <br /> According to the Web Soil Survey (United States Department of Agriculture, NRCS, 2004) of the <br /> proposed permit area, there were originally several major soil types within the permit <br /> amendment area: <br /> 1. Aquepts, loamy <br /> 2. Caruso clay loam <br /> 3. Loveland clay loam <br /> 4. Paoli fine sandy loam <br /> 5. Table Mountain loam <br /> The location of the original location of these soil types is illustrated on Exhibit C-2, Soils Map. <br /> However, previous farming and the active mining and reclamation activities have disturbed the <br /> original soil types and distribution. The soil map and descriptions are provided to present a <br /> general idea of the mixed soils that have been removed, stockpiled, and backfilled on the site. <br /> Most of the soils were deep loams that were poor to well drained. Over most of the original sand <br /> and gravel deposit was a loamy layer of soil overburden material varying in depth by several <br /> feet. The soil overburden material likely developed from alluvial and eolian deposits of clay, <br /> silts, and sands. Over time, erosive forces of wind and water influenced the soils on the site. <br /> Timnath Connell Pit <br /> DRMS 112 Permit Amendment Application Page 20 <br />
