• 2.04.9 <br />bluegrasses, and needle-grasses. As range condition deteriorates, <br />wheatgrasses and needlegrasses decrease, fortis and woody shrubs <br />increase, and undesirable weeds and annual plants invade and become <br />more abundant. <br />This soil is used for winter range by mule deer and elk. Important plant <br />species which should be managed include bitterbrush, mountainmahogany, <br />Gambel oak, ser- viceberry, and elk sedge. Berry-producing shrubs are an <br />important habitat element of black bear. This soil provides habitat for <br />Merriam turkey, blue grouse, and bandtailed pigeon. In favorable years <br />mature Gambel oaks produce acorns, which are used by Merriam turkey. <br />Most of the above discussion of soils is taken from the Soil Survey of the <br />Paonia Area, U. S. Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service. <br />(1)(b) Soils analysis for representative samples of each soil horizon for each soil <br />• type with analyses conducted using standardized soil testing procedures. <br />The results of the laboratory analysis of the soils are presented in Exhibit 7. <br />The soils in the mine area to be disturbed by the surface operations and <br />facilities lack a significant A horizon. The C horizon of the soils are <br />characterized as rocky >50% and extremely variable with respect to depth. <br />Consequently, the A and B horizons of each map unit were combined for <br />laboratory analysis purposes. The C horizon was not considered suitable for <br />salvage. <br />The soils in the loadout area to be disturbed have a distinct Al horizon as <br />well as a B horizon. The B horizon grades into an unconsolidated C horizon <br />consisting of mostly loose granitic and some sandstone rock. The A and B <br />horizon will be salvaged as one unit. <br />The following presents a discussion of the soil map units in the area of the <br />vent shaft in Freeman Gulch. Reference Map 4a for the location of the <br />boundaries of the soil map units. The discussion of soils is taken almost <br />verbatim from the Soil Survey of Paonia Area, Colorado prepared by the Soil <br />• Conservation Service. <br />PR-06 2.04 -56 - 8/01 <br />19~PRoVeD <br />~~ISId~ <br />
