<br />EXHIBIT A -Legal Description <br />Approximately 9.9 acres in the SE 1/4 ofthe SW 1/4 ofSection 2, TSN, R47W of <br />the 6th P.M., Yuma County, Colorado. The acreage includes a low drainage area within <br />that 40 acres. Delineator boundary posts will be set to mark the pit areas as shown on the <br />map. <br />EXIIIBIT B -Site Description <br />Veeetation - <br />There is no vegetation in the azea proposed for the gravel pit. It has <br />normally been farmed and is currently fallow for this growing season. <br />Wildlife - <br />No significant amount of wildlife has been encountered during any of the <br />visits to the site. Normal species appearing at the site could be coyotes, <br />rabbits, skunks, badgers, and pheasants. There aze no known threatened or <br />endangered species. <br />Soil Information - <br />The Soil Conservation Service soil. maps shows the soil as being prunarily <br />of the Albinas loam category.. This soil is a deep, well drained, nearly level <br />soil on flood plains and stream terraces.. Another soil type found at the <br />site is the Eckley gravely sandy loam. The soil survey shows the Albinas <br />soil as being fair roadfill material. The Eckley loam is listed as good <br />roadfill material. However, actual excavation indicated sufficient quantities <br />of sand and gravel for excavation purposes. <br />EXHIBIT C -Mining Plan <br />The pit will be accessed from Yuma County Road 59. A simple driveway fill will <br />provide access. The access is shown on the maps attached to this application. No new <br />roads or trails will be constructed. <br />Sand and gravel will be mined from the area. Mining will begin neaz Co. Rd. 59 <br />and proceed north. Excavation will continue as the need for material continues and as the <br />supply remains available. Gravel could be mined as deep as 20 feet. Topsoil will be <br />stripped and stockpiled for later use in re-vegetation. The topsoil will be stockpiled <br />outside of the actual mining area, near CPR ground in the quarter. The topsoil stockpile <br />will be seeded with vegetation to prevent soil erosion. <br />Some stockpiling of gravel may be done at the site, but most of the gravel will be <br />utilized as it is mined. Any stockpiling that does occur will be placed out of the drainage <br />flowline which runs through the azea. The anticipated stockpile area is also shown on the <br />mining plan. No processing of material is anticipated at the pit. <br />
