Soil descriptions, soil map(s), and a list of hydric soils or soils with hydric inclusions on the
site.
Response: A copy of the unpublished MRCS soils map for this site as prepared by the NRCS in
connection with the 2003 Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology Mine Permit Application
is enclosed. In essence the subject property falls within the boundaries of soils mapping unit # 85
- Giazch Fine Sandy Loam, 0 to 3 percent slopes. A copy of the soils mapping unit description
for this unit enclosed. According to the draft NRCS "Moffat County Area, Colorado -
Comprehensive Hydric Soils List" dated 9 February 1993, soils mapping unit 85 is not a hydric
soil and typically does not contain inclusions of unmapped hydric soils.

interstate and foreign travelers. Nor are there any known recreational, fisheries, shellfish, or
uses by any industries with connections to interstate or foreign commence associated with this
site.
A delineation map at an appropriate scale (for most projects, a scale of one inch to 100 or
200 feet).
Respouse: The enclosed map entitled "3B-Enterprises -Deakins Pit -Wetland Map, at a scale of
one inch equals 60 feet, shows the portion of the proposed mine expansion azea site that was
mapped for this wetland delineation mapping effort. This map shows the location of the wetland
boundaries and the ordinary high water mark of Jones Slough as delineated in this mapping
effort.
The map should no exceed one inch to 400 feet unless there are extenuating circumstances.
(Note: map scales must be accurate and in round numbers, any maps using a photographic
base mast be corrected for distortions, and any overlays must be of identical scale). The
map must include: The boundary of the entire project area.
Resnonse: The enclosed map entitled "3B-Enterprises -Wetland Map" shows the location of
the wetland boundaries as delineated in this mapping effort. This map is at a scale of one inch
equals 60 feet, mapped at a one foot contour interval.
All features which meet the criteria for wetlands or other waters of the United States.
Resnonse: The two features which meet the criteria of jurisdictional waters of the United States
found on this property correspond to potential jurisdictional wetlands and standing water. The
extent of the potential jurisdictional wetlands and standing water on this site is shown on the
enclosed map entitled "3B-Enterprises -Deakins Pit -Wetland Map."
Color or thatched coding of the different wetland types present.
Response: The extent of all potential wetlands is shown on the enclosed map entitled "3B
Enterprises -Deakins Pit -Wetland Map." These areas are crossed hatched with a wetland
