<br /> ~='v <br />l~~ United Slates <br />Department of Soil <br />Conservation <br /> Agriculture Service <br />I 1228 Main Street, Longmont, LO 80501 June 20, 1980 <br />' Mr. Richard L. Leffler, P. E. <br />Western Technical Services, Inc. <br />' 1024 8th Street <br />Greeley, CO 80631 <br />Dear Richard: <br />A review was made of the acreage you indicated you were in need of soils <br />and vegetative information. Practically all the acreage, as you can see <br />from the soils map, is classified as Aquolls and Agents, and a copy of <br />the manuscript description is attached. This soil has an agricultural <br />land use Capability of class VI and certainly would not be considered <br />prime or of unique importance. There is ample topsoil to revegetate <br />the area after the mining operation however. <br />1 The vegetation consists of both domestic tame plants and native veyetation. <br />Approximately 120 acres of the parcel has been cultivated and used for <br />production of irrigated crops. All evidence of native species have <br />' disappeared from this area. <br />The remaining acreage falls within the Salt Pleadot+ range site. A copy <br />of this range site is attached. The area has been overgrazed in the past <br />so that most of the principal species have disappeared and the present <br />composition is mostly annual weeds and fortis with an extimated annual <br />production of 1500 pounds of air dry forage. <br />' There are no known species of plants or animals on the endangered species <br />list. <br />' Sincerely, p <br />' Carrot E. Hamon <br /> <br />~I <br />' o <br />
