• Exhibit I <br />Soil Information <br />There has been considerable soil disturbance over!the permit <br />area over the past 30 years. This 30-year mining history has <br />left the area of Phase I virtually without any of its A horizon. <br />The area of Phase II has also had a good portion of it~ A horizon <br />destroyed. Due to the cobbly and bouldery nature of }he surface <br />the present A horizon ranges from 0 to approximately 4 inches. <br />The B horizon is not developed and the remainder of~the uncon- <br />solidated material is of the C horizon. <br />It is this eluvium which comprises the C horizon which is <br />being mined. The C horizon ranges from 0 to over ~0 feet in <br />• thickness. Its estimated average thickness is approximately 5 <br />feet. <br />The weathering of the parent material to the ~luvium has <br />been without any significant glacial or fluvial infl~ence. The <br />material ranges from 4 foot boulders to clays and ~ilts. The <br />rocks are angular and to not show any sorting. <br />A more comprehensive soil survey will be made in ~.ugust 1985 <br />• <br />if the commission deems it essential. <br />20 <br />
