// PAGE 1 <br />EXHIBIT I <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Raptor Materials, LLC Cogburn Sand, Gravel, and Reservoir Project February 2025 <br />A Regular Impact (112) Construction Permit Application – Colorado Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety, Office of Mined Land Reclamation <br />Exhibit I - Soils Information <br />SECTION 1 <br />In consultation with the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) or other qualified person, the <br />Operator/Applicant shall indicate on a map (in Exhibit C) or by a statement, the general type, thickness and <br />distribution of soil over the affected land. Such description will address suitability of topsoil (or other <br />material) for establishment and maintenance of plant growth. If necessary, at its discretion, the Board may <br />require additional information on soils or other growth media to be stockpiled and used in revegetation. <br /> <br />Exhibit I/J– Soils & Vegetation Map identifies the type and extent of soils over the project site and <br />surrounding lands. Areas designated for resource recovery within the extraction limits will remove all <br />recoverable soils. A portion of the available soils will be utilized for reclamation from a portion of either <br />existing or future soil stockpiles, or suitable in situ soils, as circumstances warrant. The balance of soils not <br />otherwise needed for reclamation of affected lands remaining above the anticipated static water level of the <br />completed basins will be made available to meet the demands of the market. <br /> <br />Interpretation of current soil conditions and vegetation suitable for reclamation relies in part on information <br />and correlated available data from the U.S. Soil Conservation Service (SCS) Soil Surveys and updated digital <br />information of the same by the renamed U.S. Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). Range Site <br />Descriptions (uniquely designated for each Soil Unit as shown by number and boundary on Exhibit I/J - Soils <br />& Vegetation Map) and other related soil and ecosystem information taken from these publications. The <br />NRCS generated for the permit area is attached as an addendum to this exhibit. <br /> <br /> <br />SOIL LEGEND of on-site soils (Refer to Exhibit I/J - Soils & Vegetation Map): <br /> <br />Soil Unit #1.
