' EXHIBIT I <br />' Soils Information <br />' The soils in the proposed permit area are typically shallow with <br />a 0 to 8-inch topsoil layer. In some areas the overburden approaches <br />' 18 inches. Available topsoil will be stockpiled where practical. <br />~ SOIL DESCRIPTIONS <br />' The Soil Conservation Service, West Greeley District, has con- <br />e ducted a survey of the proposed permit area. Descriptions of the soils <br />' of the area follow. Soil types are delineated on the soils map attached <br />hereto. <br />Bankard loamy fine sand, 0 to 3 percent slopes. <br />' This deep, somewhat excessively drained soil is formed in stratified <br />' calcareous sandy alluvium. <br />' Typically, the surface layer is brown loamy fine sand 6 inches thick. <br /> The underlying material to a dept h of 60 inches is loamy to very gravelly <br />' sand stratified with thin lenses of sand, sandy loam and loam. In some <br /> areas the surface layer is sandy loam or loam. <br />1 <br /> Permeability of the Bankard soil is moderately rapid and available <br />' water capacity is low. Effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more. <br /> Runoff is slow, and the hazard of water erosion is slight. The hazard <br />' <br /> of soil blowing is high. <br />' Haverson loam, 0 to 3 percent slopes. <br />' This deep, well-drained soil is in drainages and adjacent stream <br />terraces. It formed in stratified calcareous loamy alluvium. <br />
