EXHIBIT I - SOILS INFORMATION <br /> The information provided in this Exhibit is intended to satisfy the requirements outlined in Section <br /> 6.4.9 of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board Construction Material Rules and <br /> Regulations: <br /> In consultation with the Natural Resources Conservation Service(NRCS) or other qualified <br /> person, the Operator/Applicant shall indicate on a map (in Exhibit C) or by a statement, the <br /> general type, thickness, and distribution of soil over the affected land. Such description will <br /> address suitability of topsoil(or other material) for establishment and maintenance of plant <br /> growth. If necessary, at its discretion, the Board may require additional information on soils <br /> or other growth media to be stockpiled and used in revegetation. <br /> The NRCS' Web Soil Survey was utilized to create a soils report for the project area. The whole of <br /> the site is covered with valent sand with 3 to 9 percent slopes. The proposed reclamation for areas <br /> above the highwater line will flatten out the area reducing the slopes and increasing the likelihood <br /> of revegetation. The sandy growth medium will be a challenge in establishing revegetation and <br /> may require soil amendments. See the attached soils report for details. <br /> 70 Ranch Section 25—Proppant Mine—MLRB 112 Permit Application <br /> Exhibit K-1 <br />
