Box 147 <br />La Jara, Colorado <br />March 22, 1982 <br />Mr. Bill Malouff <br />Malouff Hi-Valley Paving and Construction <br />6489 S 106-65/100 Road <br />Alamosa, Colorado 81101 <br />Dear Sir: <br />81140 <br />I am attaching a copy of the Soil Survey of Conejos County Colorado. In <br />this Soil Survey report you will find a copy of a map showing the soils <br />found in the NE ;, NEa of section 14, township 36 N., range 8 E. where your <br />gravel pit is located. Please refer to the map sheet 1 attachment for <br />sheet 4 and to page 17 for the number 19 Gray point soil description. On <br />page 100 is a description of the native vegetation associated with this <br />soil unit and table 15 page 139 gives its physical and chemical qualities. <br />As 'I indicated to you I do not believe it to be feasible to reseed this area. <br />Neither do I think it possible to make any attempt to stockpile topsoil <br />as the layer of topsoil is so thin and of such poor quality and the <br />annual precipitation is so low that I do not think it can be revegetated. <br />The only alternative that I have to offer is that all slopes be left on a <br />not steeper than 3:1 grade. This will help prevent any harm to domestic <br />animals or wildlife or humans who may trespass on the area. It is not subject <br />to any other problems or restrictions. <br />~~~~~~~~ <br />MAR 2 5 1982 <br />MINED LAND RECLAMATION <br />Colo.
