<br />L~ <br />' and adequate yields. In view of the importance of these <br />assessments, mapping, sampling, and analysis of soils were <br />' undertaken with the following objectives. <br />' 1 To characterize the suitability of topsoil material <br /> occurring on the area with physical and chemical <br /> descriptions of each soil series or series variant. <br />' 2 To quantify the amount of suitable topsoil both <br /> in areal extent and average depths of various soils <br />' series, slope phases, complexes and associations. <br />A soil map, on a scale of 1 inch = 400 feet, <br /> showing the areal extent of etch mapping unit is <br /> provided as well as average depths for each soil <br /> mapping unit. <br /> 3 To provide a basis for developing a complete <br /> topsoil removal plan for undisturbed lands (pad <br />' area). <br /> 4 To provide a b;~sis for estimating the depth and <br />' suitability of topsoil to be replaced during <br /> reclamation. <br />' 5 To provide a basis for determining the enhancement <br />methods necessary for revegetating currently <br />disturbed areas. <br />1.2 LOCATION OF STUDY AREA <br />' This study encompasses approximately 70 acres of <br />' undisturbed pad area and additional disturbed areas such <br />as roads, cuts, fills, and exploratory drill sites. The permit <br />' area is about 10 miles west of Glenwood Springs in Garfield <br />' County, Colorado. <br />1 <br /> <br />' - 2 <br />
