EXHIBIT I <br />SOILS INFORDiATION <br />The area of the proposed quarry site consists mostly <br />of rock outcrops on very steep slopes with nondelineated soil <br />inclusions that are generally stony or gravelly. Also included are. <br />limestone talus areas and small pockets of shallow and very shallow <br />soils. No sediment data is available for the area, but there appears <br />to be little erosion that would contribute sediment to the Colorado <br />River. <br />Topsoil throughout the area is rated as poor. Since <br />the texture of the soil is generally gravelly clay loam and its <br />permeability is slow to moderate, its stability rating is generally <br />poor. However, with the surface formation consisting of extensive <br />limestone outcrop areas, the flood hazzard is minimal. <br />See Attachment #1 to this Exhibit for soils map, soils <br />characteristics, and soils use suitability obtained from the Soil <br />Conservation Service for the area of the proposed quarry. <br />
