1999 Soil Sampling: Seneca Mine, Hayden Colorado <br />Conclusions <br />• Overall topsoil and subsoil are suitable and are supporting a vigorous dryland <br />pasture of grasses and fortis. Over time, the soil will continue to support vegetation <br />that meets management objectives. 2W-5-99 except for texture is suitable. Since no <br />other sample pits were of clay texture it is considered an anomaly. 2W-1-99 on a <br />gentle slope represents about 5 acres of ground and is also an anomaly. If site <br />improvement is desired at 2W-1-99, running a ripper on the contour over existing <br />vegetation to a depth of 1 to 1.5 feet will increase infiltration and reduce compaction. <br />The other option is to monitor the site as plants may further establish and vigor could <br />increase. Fertilizer application for the area is not indicated especially since there is <br />already high organic matter levels. <br />.J <br /> <br />Page 11 of 11 <br />02/09/00 <br />
