The majority <br />of the site is classified as the Bosler Series (Bosler Sandy Loam) which consists of deep well <br />drained terraces and alluvial fans that aze comprised of mixed alluvium, sand and gravel. These <br />terraces aze normally 30 to 60 feet above streams. Runoff is slow (high to moderate <br />permeability) and erosion hazazd is slight. Current vegetation on the site is spazse. There aze <br />many places on the site that have no topsoil or overburden. <br />Additional structures within 200 feet of the mining operation have been added to the mining <br />map. These structures have also been added to the list of structures within 200 feet of the mining <br />operation. Topsoil and overburden will be stockpiled separately. The stockpiles are currently <br />located in the southwest portion of the mining azea. Stockpiles will be seeded to grass and kept . <br />free of noxious weeds if they remain on the site for more than two years. <br />A gravel processing area will operate internal to the site and will relocate within the permit <br />boundary as needed. The following equipment and facilities will be utilized in this operation: <br />11990 Grant Street, Suite 304 • Denver, Colorado 80233 • (303) 452-6611 • Fax (303) 452-2759 <br />
