~ • • <br />EXHIBIT I <br /> <br />Soils Information <br />' There aze three soil types on the proposed gravel pit site azea. Nederland Very <br />' Cobbly Sandy Loam is the dominant type and occupies approximately 50% of the azea. <br />The Niwot and Calkins soils are found by Coal Creek and occupy 30% and 20% of the <br />' total azea, respectively. A sample of the Nederland Very Cobbly Sandy Loam was taken <br />' at the site. The soil analysis report (Field Number B) follows the descripti~~n of these <br />soils. <br />i <br />Nederland Very Cobbly Sandy Loam <br />~' This soil is found oa outwash fans and the uplands azeas. The sm•face layer <br />consists of a very cobbly sandy loam that is about four inches deep. The subsurface layer <br />is about 16 inches deep and made up of very cobbly sandy loam and heavy course sandy <br />' loam. The percent of cobble ranges from 50 to 75 percent by volume. Roots can extend <br />60 inches in this moderately permeable soil. This soil is suited to permanent <br />' vegetation. Wheatgrasses and blue gramma grow best here. This soil is not suited for <br />tree growth. <br />' Niwot Series <br />This soil is found on stream terraces and bottom lands, superimposed over sand <br />' and gravel. The surface layer ranges from 10 to 20 inches and consists of a sandy clay <br />loam or a light clay loam. Immediately below this is the sand and gravel layer, which can <br />extend up to 60 inches. Because of this soils proximity to streams, it has a seasonally <br />' high water table at six to eight inches below the surface. It is a moderately permeable <br />soil with only a slight erosion hazard. Because the available water capacit!~ is low to <br /> <br />
