These soil sampling locations <br />reflect typical soil horizons encountered on the western end of the river alluvium deposit which <br />is proposed for mining. The sampling sites are located in the SW4 Section 12, T18S, R72W, <br />Fremont County, Colorado. <br />Sample Areas were mapped and compared to US Dept. of Agriculture Soil Survey of Fremont <br />County Area, Colorado, delineated as soil unit #50 as shown on Sheet No. 18 of the Survey. <br />The dominant soil type, Kim Loam, constituted 100% of the of the soil type within this map unit. <br />Block 1 samples were taken along a NE-SW trending transect in an agricultural field which has <br />been flood irrigated by ditching at times in the past. However, the field does not show signs of <br />recent production such a hay cropping. It appears that the field has been irrigated to a limited <br />extent and grazed by livestock. Slopes were 0.5-1%, average vegetative cover 45%, course <br />fragment cover 15%, bare ground 20%, per cent litter ]0%, 10% stones and small rocks, aspect <br />southeast. Block 1 soils consistent dark brown silty loam to 18" depth with 10% or less rock <br />pebbles less than '/." in more Northerly locations (sample 1-1, 1-2), soils sampled to 18" depths, <br />central location soils (sample 1-3)consistent to 12" depth, dark brown silty loam with course <br />aggregate <10%, below 12" rocky aggregate 1-2". Southern end of block brown silty loam thins <br />to 6"-]0" depth, <]0% course pebbles with 1-2" rocky aggregate below.
