Fleming <br />2090 E. 104th Ave., Suite 305 <br />Thornton, Colorado 80233 <br />RE: Information for Mine Request - Sand Creek Farms <br />Dear Mr. Fleming: <br />The following is information you requested on the land in part of the <br />East 1/2, Section .3, Township 3 South, Range 61 West, 6 P. M. <br />SOIL INFORMATION: Soils for the Area requested, according to the Soil <br />Survey of Adams County, Colorado, issued October, 197a is as follows: <br />Sm---Sandy Alluvial Land <br />H1B--Heldt Clay, 0 to 3 percent slopes <br />A copy of the detailed soil description is attached. <br />VEGETATIVE INFORMATION: The vegetation on the requested area is <br />sparse. The ma,iority of the vegetation consists of fortis such as <br />Russian Thistle, Sunflower, Curlycup Gumweed, Bull Thistle, Mustard, <br />Asters, Cocklebur and Ragweed. Small .grain, r_onsisting of rye, is <br />also present. Most of the other plants consist of Sweetclover, <br />Cheatgrass, Sand Dropseed and Red Threeawn. Some Blue grama and <br />Western Wheatgrass were growing on the banks and surrounding areas. <br />RECLAMATION PLAN: <br />1) SLOPE: A small area has been previously mined, probably for local <br />use or used by the land owner. This is a sandy soil and cutbanks will <br />rave easily. During mining operations, there should be no banks <br />steeper than 2:1 (2 horizontal to 1 vertical). After mining <br />operations are completed, banks should be no steeper than 4:1 slopes. <br />Where possible, present banks should not be disturbed as the <br />vegetation provides some erosion protection. <br />2> TOP SOIL: There is very little to no top soil on this site. <br />However, after mining has been completed, the area should be left <br />fairly smooth. <br />
