i ~ <br /> <br />The following soils and vegetative information is provided as requested: <br />There are two Major soils in your mining area. Colluvial Land (Cu} and <br />Pinata Rock outcrop complex, 5-55N slopes (~rF). <br />Colluvial land varies widely in depth, texture, color, reaction, and <br />sebniness. The surface layer is mainly a sandy loam that contains varying <br />amounts of stone and cobbles. The underlying material ranges from loamy <br />sandy to clay, and the soil material ranges from shallow to deep. The <br />erosion hazard is high. Capability class is VIIs nonirrigated. <br />Pinata-Rock outcrop complex is about 45% Pinata very stony loamy fine <br />sand and about 35% Rock outcrop. The Pinata mainly has the smoother <br />slopes and tfie Rock outcrop mainly the steeper slopes. Pinata soils <br />have slow permeability and available water capacity is moderate. The <br />erosion hazard is high and the soil capability is VIIs, nonirrigated. <br />Both soils groups (Cu & PrF) have a tree suitability group of G. These <br />soils are not suited to planting. They are shallow to bedrock; strongly <br />sloping; poorly drained or aerated; excessively saline or alkaline, or <br />cobbly, stony, gravelly, sandy, or very clayey. <br />Reseeding these soils is difficult, and in some places impossible because <br />of the slope. rock outcrops, and amount of stones, cobblestones and gravel. <br />I hope this information is adequate. If you have any questions, please <br />feel free to call or come by the office. <br /> <br />
