Engineers' Commen~Pikeview Quarry • <br />Per Letter of Apr 12, 1979 <br />Page 9. <br />F. Comment--Continued <br />Native Trees and Shrubs: <br />Pinyon Pine (2" to 6" diameter), Rocky Mountain Juniper, Skunkbush <br />Sumac, Scrub Oak, and Ponderosa Pine (8" to 14" diameter). <br />Vegetations which have progressed in the old mined areas have been native <br />grasses and some weeds such as Russian Thistles and Kochia. Seeds of the <br />native grasses have been included in the reclamation grass mixture. <br />G. SUITABILITY OF SOILS <br />uestion: The soils in yet unaffected areas should be described paying <br />particu ar attention to their suitability for use in revegetation. <br />Comment: The soils in the unaffected areas consist of alluvium and mesa <br />gravels composed of coarse sands, pebbles, and cobbles of Pikes Peak <br />Granite. Permeability is moderate and percolation is high. This soil will <br />be used in the revegetation program, mixed with the limestone fines and <br />recommended fertilizers. <br /> <br />
