This <br />reclamation plan involves an appro:timately 50 acre site in <br />Surveyor Creek, which runs the full length throughout the legally <br />described area. Gravel mi.niny operations have not begun as of <br />the field visit on October 15, 1.996. The approximate elevation <br />of the area ranges from 4425 to 4900 feet. <br />SITE DF,SCRIPTiON <br />Soils <br />The 50 acre (approximate) site i.n the Surveyor Creek <br />drainage r_onsists wholly of Paoli fine sandy loam. This deep, <br />well drained soil is on flood plains of intermittent drainageways <br />and is formed on mixed alluvium. Slopes average from 0~ to 7,'h. <br />Included in this unit are small areas of Table Mountain loam and <br />Bankard sand. Permeability of Paoli fine sandy loam is <br />moderately rapid. The hazard of this soil type to water erosion <br />is low, while the hazard to wind erosion is severe. Paoli fine <br />sandy loam is in the Overflow range site and is classed as Class <br />Iile. Other neighboring soil types and their descriptions are <br />attached. <br />For added reference, the proposed site is in MLRA (Major <br />land Resource Area) 67. <br />Topography <br />(See attached topography map.) <br />Wildlife <br />Deer and pheasant have been <br />other animals and birds common to <br />expected to be found i.n the area. <br />noted on the site.
