MINING PLAN • • EXHIBIT D IcoNr ) <br />The five types of natural soils on the parcel are designated <br />as Units EBF, NuD, PmE, StE and Wo. Please refer to MAP EXHIBITI-1 <br />for the location of the soils on the permit area. More detail on <br />the description and engineering qualities for these soils can be <br />found starting on page 28 in this application. <br />The EBF - Eutroboralfs, steep soil is described as a mapping <br />unit consisting of mainly vertical rock outcrops, <br />consisting of deep canyon like drainages. Very little <br />soil existing on this soil mapping unit and it covers <br />13.608 of the permit area. We find that what little soil <br />is found in this Unit consists of shallow pockets around <br />trees or shallow depressions. <br />The NuD -Nunn clay loam, 5 to 9 percent slope is described as a <br />deep well drained soil, grayish-brown clay loam averaging <br />6 inches deep in the county. It covers 29.128 of the <br />total permit area making it the most prevalent soil type <br />on the site. This area is covered by part of the PRE-LAW <br />DISTURBANCE area shown in M.L.R.B. permit number M-77-326 <br />so the topsoil and overburden has been removed on a <br />portion of the site. We suspect that this is the <br />material residing in the soil piles along the north side <br />of Adience's existing permit. <br />The PmE -Penrose-Minnequa Complex, 1 to 15% slopes covers only <br />a small section of the mine site in the extreme northwest <br />part of the area. This Map Unit is described as a loamy <br />residuum weathered from limestone. it is a light <br />brownish-gray channery loam averaging 3 inches. on this <br />site it covers 0.408 of the total area. Very little of <br />this area will be disturbed during mining. <br />The StE - Stroupe extremely stony loam, 9 to 25% slopes soil <br />series is described as a moderately deep, well-drained <br />soil. This site is consistent with the soils description <br />in the SCS report, and as stated is located on mesas and <br />foothills around the site. The variation in depth is <br />closer to averaging 8 inches on our site, rather than the <br />20 to 40 inches noted in the report. This soil covers <br />approximately 13.148 of the mine site and covers part of <br />the area currently being mined. <br />8 <br />
