EXFIIBIT "I" <br />SOILS INFORMATION <br />The following is an excerpt from the SCS report on this site: <br />"The soil present on this gravel pit site is mapping unit 69. The <br />soil is called the Homelake Loam. It is always found in a floodplain <br />and in this case the floodplain of the Yampa River. The soil is <br />• poorly drained as a result. A water table is present at a depth of <br />25 inches. The pH ranges from 6.6 to 7.8. The soil depth is variable <br />but useable. Topsoil can range as high as 60 inches. The soil normally <br />has 10 inches of topsoil that is a deep grayish brown loam. Below <br />10 inches you get into s[ratified loam and sandy loam that can be 50 <br />inches thick. The erosion hazard is low from both wind and water." <br />The operator's experience in this area indicates sand and gravel in a <br />15 to 20 foot seam. Present use is a hay meadow. Prognosis for <br />"establishment and maintenance of plant growth" is excellent. <br />1 <br />r J <br />i <br />.,, <br />
