5 <br />• <br />INPRDDUCTION <br />NUCLA MLNE SOIL SURVEY <br />An agreanent was entered into with the Peabody Coal Ca~any, Rocky <br />Mountain Division to reexamine and map a small portion of the NUCLA <br />mine lease area, Nuc1a, Montrose County, Colorado, and to obtain <br />and ship to the Peabody Coal Company laboratory samples of 10 <br />stockpiles as well as of the soils in the mapped area. <br />PI~CIDURE <br />On May 9, 1979, Fay Paxton, soil surveyor, and Dr. Claude L.

The usual prooEClure is to expose the soil profile <br />by means of file spade, examine, describe and sample each natural <br />horizon. Lower horizons may be reached by use of a barrel type <br />auger.

This study is under separate contract with <br />Mariah Associates. A small area of Juniper-Pinyon brush land was <br />found on a narrow ridge in the extreme southwest corner. <br />The revised soils map was prepared on an aerial photo of scale <br />1" = 400 feet (approximate) and transferred to a mylar overlay of <br />• the topo/facility base which was based on aerial photos of <br />
