o iS • • <br />The following soils and vegetative information is provided as requested: <br />There are two major soils in your mining area. Colluvial Land (Cu) and <br />Pinata Rock outcrop complex, 5-55% slopes (Prf). <br />Colluvial land varies widely in depth, texture, color, reaction, and <br />stoniness. The surface layer is mainly a sandy loam that contains <br />varying amounts of stone and cobbles. The underlying material ranges <br />from loamy sandy to clay, and the soil material ranges from shallow to <br />deep. The erosion hazard is high. Capability class is Vlls nonirrigated. <br />Pinata-Rock outcrop complex is about 45$ Pinata very stony loamy fine <br />sand and about 35~ Rock outcrop. The Pinata mainly has the smoother <br />slopes and the Rock outcrop mainly the steeper slopes. Pinata soils <br />have slow permeability and available water capacity is moderate. The <br />erosion hazard is high and the soil capability is Vlls, nonirrigated. <br />Both soils groups (Cu & Prf) have a tree suitability group of 6. These <br />soils are not suited to planting. They are shallow to bedrock; strongly <br />sloping, poorly drained or aerated; excessively saline or alkaline, or <br />cobbly, stony, gravelly, sandy, or very clayey. <br />Reseeding these soils is difficult, and in some places impossible because <br />of the slope, rock outcrops, and amount of stones, cobblestones and gravel. <br />I hope this information is adequate. If you have any questions, please <br />feel free to call or come by the office. <br />
