• l~ks and Gesso, LLC <br />EXHIBIT I -SOILS INFORMATION <br />Soils within the entire property consist of four soil types. The area within the <br />proposed permit boundary is composed of three soil types. Soil types Aquolls <br />and Aquents, Cascajo Gravelly Sandy Loam, and Otero Sandy Loam constitute <br />the area to be mined. <br />Soil types mapped within the proposed permit boundary can be found on the <br />soils map contained within this Exhibit <br />Aquolls and Aquents are formed in recent alluvium. It is a deep, poorly drained <br />soil that is typically found in low-lying areas with the water table being very close <br />to the surtace layer. The capability classification by the United States <br />Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service (SCS) and excerpts from <br />the Soil Sunyey of Weld County (SCS, 1972) are contained in this Exhibit. The <br />SCS capability classifications for this soil ind+cate that, due to wetness, they are <br />severely limited in their suitability for cultivation. However, Aquolls and Aquents <br />are typically supportive of rangeland and wildlife habitat. <br />Cascajo Gravelly Sandy Loam is a deep, excessively drained soil formed in very <br />gravelly alluvium, between slopes of 5 and 20 percent. It is typically found on <br />upland ridges and knobs. The SCS capability classifications for this soil type <br />indicate that it is not easily cultivated, but is a fair medium for re-establishing <br />rangeland. <br />Otero Sandy Loam is a deep, well drained soil that is formed in alluvium and <br />eolian deposits between slopes of 5 to 9 percent. It is typically found on plains <br />and terraces. The SCS capability classifications for this soil type indicate that it <br />has limited suitability for cultivated crops and is capable of supporting extensive <br />wildlife habitat. <br />GreeNCroissant Property Sand and Gravel Mine.CDMG.112 Permit 20023 <br />Loveland Ready Mix Concrete, Inc 24 March 2001 <br />
