<br />Exhibit I - Soils Information <br />The soils for this area have been mapped and described by the U.S.D.A. <br />Soil Conservation Service (SCS) as part of an unpublished soil survey. <br />According to this survey, three mapping units occur within the actual <br />affected area: (C1-CD) Echolake clay loam, 3 to 12 percent slopes: (C2-E) <br />Morapos silty clay loam. 12 to 25 percent slopes; and (DO-CE) Pagosa rubbly <br />loam, 3 to 25 percent slopes. Figure I included herein is a soils map of <br />the area delineating the mapping units <br />Descriptions of the soil mapping <br />units are given below: <br />(C1-CD) Echolake clay loam. 3 to 12 Percent slopes. <br />The Echolake clay loam occurs on gently sloping to sloping footslopes <br />and formed in residuum and alluvium derived dominately from shale. It is <br />moderately deep and well drained. <br />Typically the surface layer is gray clay loam about 6 inches thick. <br />The subsoil is light brownish gray clay about 20 inches thick. The <br />substratum to a depth of 29 inches or more is light brownish gray clay <br />loam. Permeability is slow. Available water capacity is medium. Runoff <br />is medium and the hazard of water erosion is moderate. Included with this <br />map unit is about 10 percent Morapos clay loam and 5 percent Ruko clay. <br />(C2-E) Morapos silty clav loam. 12 to 25 Percent slopes. <br />The Morapos silty clay loam occurs on moderately steep to steep <br />sideslopes and formed in alluvium derived dominately from shale and <br />sandstone. It is deep and well drained. <br />Typically the surface layer is gray light silty clay loam about 7 <br />-16- <br />
