Box 774018 <br />Steamboat Springs, CO 80477 <br />Re: P1t. Harris Coal Loadout <br />Dear Dan: <br />Last week Darrell Schroeder, a Soil Scientist with the Soil <br />Conservation Service from Craig, Colorado, inventoried the Mt. Harris <br />Coal Loadout, requested by yourself. <br />• The results of his findings are as follows: <br />1) The soil material found on the site was classified as an <br />alluvial valley floor. <br />2) The soil, classified on the site, is of State Wide <br />Importance, but is not classified as Prime Farmland. <br />3) Darrell was unable to estimate the percentage of soil <br />disturbance in the past, due to the depth of coal on the <br />site. He thought a backhoe would be needed to dig soil <br />pits. <br />If you have any further questions, please contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE <br /> <br />Patrick R. Davey <br />District Conservationist <br />• <br />O <br />
