EXHIBIT I SOILS INFORMATION <br /> A new soils map is provided showing the entire permit area. <br /> The soils information currently in the file for this mine supply <br /> descriptions for most of the mined area soil types. But to get <br /> the information into one file, a new soils report was downloaded <br /> from the Web Soil Survey maintained by the NRCS. <br /> Soils on the amended north areas are consistent with the <br /> soils in the existing permit area with the exception for 2 new <br /> soil types located the Northwest Phase, the Vona loamy sands units <br /> 72 & 74 covering approximately 1.3% of the total area. As noted <br /> before, the soils on the Fort Lupton Sand and Gravel Mine site <br /> consists primarily of 2 soils types 3-Aquolls & Aquents gravely <br /> substratum and 41-Nunn clay loam. They cover approximately 88% of <br /> the proposed permit area. <br /> These soils are primarily suited for pasture, rangeland and <br /> wildlife habitat. They are well suited to reestablishment of <br /> grasses as proposed in the Reclamation Plan. On average LGE has <br /> been able to salvage from 6 to 12 inches, averaging 8 inches of <br /> soil over the mined area for use in reclamation and have committed <br /> to replacing it on the areas to be revegetated to an average depth <br /> of 8 inches. <br /> L.G.Everist, Inc.
