Ref.Page No. M2009-006 00087 <br /> 6.4.9 EXHIBIT/—Soils Information <br /> Soils in the eastern foothills of this region of Larimer County, Colorado are generally <br /> well drained and formed in materials weathered from sedimentary substrates. <br /> The soil on and in the vicinity of the Subject Property is a shallow, well-drained soil <br /> with a surface layer of stoney sandy loam up to 11 inches deep. The surface layer is <br /> a dark grayish brown stony loam (approx. 6 inches) and a subsurface layer of dark <br /> grayish brown very stony sandy loam (approx. 5 inches). The soil layer are on uplands <br /> and are underlain by bedrock of hard dense sandstone at depths of 10 to 20 inches. <br /> Attached as Attachment 1 to this Exhibit I is a copy of the USDA Natural Resource <br /> Conservation Service(NRCS) "Custom Soil Resource Report for Larimer CountyArea, <br /> Colorado—Meadow Hollow Quarry dated December21, 2023"(the"NRCS Report"). <br /> The following soil types were observed at the project site in the NCRS Report: <br /> • Baller, bouldery-Horsetooth, stony-Rock-outcrop complex: This <br /> comprises approximately 63% of the Subject Property. Batter-Rock Outcrop <br /> Complex(the"Complex") consists of strongly sloping to steep soils on ridges <br /> and "hogbacks." This Complex defines the predominance of the area of the <br /> Subject Property. The Complex is comprised of approximately 50% Batter <br /> stony sandy loam and 30%rock outcrops. Any loose surface soil has between <br /> 35% and 70%stones and cobbles. <br /> • Emigrant, bouldery-Red Mountain, stony-Rock-outcrop complex: This <br /> comprises approximately 37% of the Subject Property. <br /> • Nunn clay loam This is not present on the Subject Property but is present <br /> immediately east of the Affected Land. <br /> All of the above listed soil classifications are defined as"well-drained" Mean annual <br /> precipitation ranges between 15 to 17 inches, with mean annual air temperatures <br /> approximately 48 degrees Fahrenheit and between 135 to 150 annual frost free days. <br /> Permeability is moderately rapid and available water capacity is low. Reaction is <br /> neutral. Included with this Complex is about 20% Carnero soils and areas of soils <br /> that are similar to the Batter soil, but which has a"clayey"subsoil. The Carnero series <br /> consists of moderately deep , well drained soils, with moderately slow permeability <br /> and medium available water capacity and neutral reaction. <br /> The soil is suited to native gasses and scrub,with scattered stands of ponderosa pine <br /> in a few areas. <br />
