Exhibit I
Soils Information
JD-8 Mine Permit Amendment
M-1984-014
The previously permitted area covers two very different soils environments. The lower •
mine area on the Opera Box and Doagy No 2 claims on the northern slope of Monogram
Mesa, and the proposed upper mine waste area on top of Monogram Mesa.
As part of this Soils Exhibit the pertinent Soil Interpretation sheets, and Map Unit
Descriptions derived from the Web Soil Survey for the soil types in the affected areas are
attached.
The lower mine area consists entirely of map unit symbol 23-Bodot, dry-Ustic
Torriorthents complex with a typical profile being as follows:
0-3 inches: Cobbly clay loam
3-30 inches: Cobbly silty clay
30-34 inches: Weathered bedrock
The rating class for this soil type is poor,as shown on the attached Soil Interpretation
Sheet. Previous experience reclaiming mine dumps in this area indicates that spreading
at least a minimal amount of these soils over the re-contoured mine waste provides a
reasonable environment to sustain re-vegetation efforts.

The proposed upper mine waste area consists of two different soil types. The majorityof
P Po PP YP
the soil in this area consists of map unit symbol 75-Pinon-Bowdish-Progresso barns with
a typical profile being as follows:
0-5 inches: Loam
5-16 inches: Gravelly Loam
16-20 inches: Unweathered bedrock
The rating class for this soil type is poor,as shown on the attached Soil Interpretation
Sheet. Previous experience reclaiming mine dumps in this area indicates that spreading
at least a minimal amount of these soils over the re-contoured mine waste provides a
reasonable environment to sustain re-vegetation efforts.
The other soil type in this upper mine waste area consists of map unit symbol 60-
Monogram Loam with a typical profile being as follows:
0-3 inches: Loam
3-14 inches: Loam
14-28 inches: Loam
28-60 inches: Sandy clay loam
The rating class for this soil type is fair, as shown on the attached Soil Interpretation
Sheet. Previous experience reclaiming mine dumps in this area indicates that spreading
at least a minimal amount of these soils over the re-contoured mine waste provides a
reasonable environment to sustain re-vegetation efforts.
