S� <br /> EXHIBIT I <br /> SOILS INFORMATION <br /> The following information is taken directly from the Soil Survey ofLarimer County Area, <br /> Colorado, December 1980, United States Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service, <br /> Fort Collins, CO. Some statements do not pertain to this site. <br /> Six types of soil are present in the mining area. They are as follows: <br /> 33: Fluvaquents, nearly level <br /> 42: Gravel pits <br /> 64: Loveland clay loam, 0 to 1 percent slopes <br /> 81: Paoli fine sandy loam, 0 to I percent slopes <br /> 92: Riverwash <br /> 105: Table mountian loam, 0 to 1 percent slopes <br /> Each of the above listed soil types are described in detail as follows and are shown on the Soils <br /> Map, Exhibit I-1. <br /> 33: Fluvaquents, nearly level: This soil is on flood plains, low terraces and bottom lands. The <br /> surface and underlying layers are extremely vairable, range from sandy loam to clay loam and are <br /> commonly stratified with thin layers of sand or clay. In places the underlying material is sand <br /> and gravel. A water table is commonly at a depth of less than 12 inches at some time during <br /> spring and summer and the soil is also flooded occasionally during spring and summer. <br /> Drainage is impractical or impossible because of a lack of suitable outlets. <br /> Runoff is slight. The hazard of erosion is slight, although there is some cutting on areas near <br /> stream channels in places. This soil is suited to pasture or native grasses. <br /> 42: Gravel pits: This unit consists of areas where the soil and underlying gravel deposits have <br /> been removed. These areas have no value for farming and little value for grazing. Some areas <br /> are used for sanitary landfills. Also included are borrow pits and areas where material was <br /> removed in road construction, mainly along Interstate Highway 25. <br /> 64: Loveland clay loam, 0 to 1 percent slopes: This level soil is on low terraces and flood <br /> plains. Included with this soil in mapping are a few small areas of soils that are more sloping, <br /> small areas of soils in which gravel is at a depth of 40 to 60 inches, and a few small areas of soils <br /> that have a surface layer of loam. Also included are small area of Poudre soils. <br /> Runoff is slow, and the hazard of water erosion is slight. If irrigated, this soil is suited to barley <br /> and pasture. If drained, it is suited to corn and to a lesser extent sugar beets. Under dryland <br /> management it is well suited to pasture and native grasses. <br /> 81: Paoli fine sandy loam, 0 to 1 percent slopes: This level soil is on low terraces. Included <br /> with this soil in mapping area a few small areas of soils that are more sloping. Also included are <br /> a few small areas of Caruso and Table Mountian soils and some gravel spots. <br />
