Session and Sons Gravel Pit <br />Exhibit I <br />Soils Information <br />Sessions and Sons have contacted the Soil Conservation District in regazds to the <br />proposed gravel pit -located T9N, R79W Section 9. NRCS has identified Bosler Sandy <br />Loam as the soil at the proposed site. This series of soil consists of a deep, well-drained <br />soil that formed in outwash or old gravelly alluvium. The soils are underlain by very <br />gravelly coarse sandy loam at a depth of 20 to 40 inches. <br />In a representative profile the surface layer is brown sandy loam about 3 inches thick. <br />The subsoil is brown sandy clay loam about 12 inches thick. The underlying material is <br />light olive brown sandy loam. Very gravelly loamy coarse sand is at a depth of about 21 <br />inches. A zone of lime accumulation is below a depth of about 11 inches. <br />This soil is on high terraces and benches. Slopes are 2 to 5 percent. Included with this <br />soil in mapping are a few small areas of soils that are similar to Bosler soils but that are <br />more then 35 percent gravel throughout. <br />Permeability is moderate and available water capacity is moderate. Runoff is slow. The <br />hazards of soil blowing and water erosion are slight. <br />
