EXHIBIT I <br />SOILS INFORMATION <br />soils in the vicinity of the proposed mine site are as follows (descriptions as per the <br />Survey of Larimer County, by the Soil Conservation Service): <br />er-Rock outcrop complex, 15 to 45% slopes -This complex consists of strongly <br />ing to steep soils on ridges and hogbacks. It is about 50% Bailer stony sandy loam <br />about 30% rock outcrop. Bailer Stony sandy loam is mainly on the east-facing slopes <br />ie ridges and consists of shallow, grayish brown stony sandy loam about 6 inches <br />c The subsurface layer is dazk grayish brown very stony sandy loam about 5 inches <br />c. Permeability is moderately rapid and the available water capacity is low. These <br />overlie the sandstone to be mined for the proposed Glade Quarry. <br />iplustolls, hilly -These strongly sloping to steep soils are on fans and lower side slopes <br />ridges in the foothills. The surface and subsurface layers are mainly loam or clay <br />am, but texture is extremely variable, often within short distances. Some areas of these <br />ils have cobbly and stony surface and subsurface layers. Soil depth ranges from <br />allow to deep. These soils reportedly occur at the site adjacent to the east side of the <br />adstone ridge to the mined. <br />m fine sandy loam, 1 to 3% slopes -This neazly level soil is on the terraces, fans and <br />y sides. It consists of deep, well drained soils that formed in alluvium weathered <br />reddish sandstone and shale. In a representative profile the surface layer is dark <br />ish gray fine sandy loam about 7 inches thick. The subsoil is reddish brown light <br />loam about 20 inches thick. The underlying material is light reddish brown loam. <br />~eability is moderate and the available water capacity is high. This soil reportedly <br />rs in the northern half of the potential wetland azea along the west side of the <br />osed mine site. It also reportedly occurs in the northeast portion of the proposed <br />rit area and extends nearly to US Highway 287. <br />rlan fine sandy loam, 3 to 9% slopes -This gently sloping to strongly sloping soil is <br />terraces, fans and valley sides. This soil has a profile as described in the preceding <br />~agraph, but the combined thickness of the surface layer and subsoil is about ZO to 24 <br />hes. Permeability is moderate and the available water capacity is high. This soil <br />~ortedly occurs in the southern half of the potential wetland azea located along the west <br />e of the proposed permit area. <br />Connerton-Barnum complex, 3 to 9% slopes -This complex consists of gently sloping to <br />strongly sloping soils on the terraces and fans. It is about 60% Connerton fine sandy <br />loam and about 25% Barnum loam. The Connerton fine sandy loam is higher and more <br />sloping the Barnum loam is on the lower parts of fans and in areas near streams, swales, <br />and drainageways. <br />The Connerton series consists of deep, well drained soils that formed in mixed <br />alluvial material weathered from red sandstone and shale. In a typical profile the <br />~~ <br />
