Page 2 <br />The General Soils Map of Montrose County indicates the <br />• JD-9 property lies within two soils associations: the <br />Haplargids-Torriorthents-Rock outcrop association, des- <br />cribed as "vrarm, deep to shallow, well drained, gently <br />sloping and moderately steep soils and rock outcrop on <br />mesas, benches, and canyons", and the Torriorthents-Rock <br />outcrop association, "warm, shallovr, well drained, sloping <br />to steep soils and rock outcrop on breaks and canyons". <br />An on-site inspection reveals a thin gravelly clay loam <br />towards the Bull Canyon Rim behind the portal, and a <br />deeper (6 to 10 inches) sandy to sandy loam soil to the <br />south-southwest, down the hillside. <br /> <br />Reference: Water & Related Land Resources; Dolores <br />River Basin; Colorado and Utah.
