<br />' Exhibit I - Soils Information <br />The soils for this area have been recently mapped and described by the <br />' U.S.D.A. Soil Conservation Service (SCS) in an unpublished soil survey. <br />The soils on this site are representative of the Kim loam and the Cascajo <br />' very gravelly sandy loam. For most of the site, the topsoil layer is <br />' typically very thin and rocky. Figure I included herein is a soils map of <br />the area delineating the mapping units. Brief descriptions of the soil <br />' mapping units are given below in the order of their estimated relative <br />abundance. Atypical pedon for each of the soil series follows the <br />' descriptions. <br />Kc - Kim-Cascajo Complex <br />The complex consists of deep, well drained to excessively drained <br />' soils which occur on terraces in alluvium, and have slopes of 2 to 15 <br />percent. The complex consists of an estimated 50 percent Kim soil and 35 <br /> percent Cascajo soil. The Kim soil occurs on foot slopes, and the Cascajo <br /> soil occurs on short, steeper breaks. Included in the map unit are small <br /> i <br />l <br />i <br />f <br />hi <br />ll il <br />H <br />th <br />i <br />t <br />d ha <br />e <br />ot <br /> nc <br />us <br />ons o <br />geograp <br />ca <br />y a owever, <br />ssoc <br />a <br />e <br />so <br />s. <br />ese v <br />n <br />' been mapped at the scale used. The elevation of the soil unit is about <br /> 5,240 to 5,280 feet. Soils of the Kim and Cascajo series are more fully <br />' described below. <br />Ci- Cascaio Series <br />' Soils of the Cascajo series are deep, excessively drained, sandy- <br />' skeletal, mixed, mesic Ustollic Calciorthids. These soils developed in, . <br />gravelly and sandy, calcareous alluvium. The soils occur on moderate <br />' terrace outslopes from about 10 to 40 percent. Typically the surface layer <br />is a very dark grayish brown very gravelly sandy loam about 6 inches thick. <br />1 <br />1 <br />
