EXHIBIT I - Soils Information <br />The soils in the proposed operation area as mapped and described by the <br />U.S.D.A. Soil Conservation Service consists of soils belonging to the <br />following types (Soil Map and Non-Technical Soil Descriptions and Soil <br />Tables are attached). The soil types are listed in the order of their possible <br />aggregate potentials as indicated in the soil description survey documents and <br />from discussions with the landowner and from a description of the soil profile <br />in the pit dug for the installation of the large diameter water supply well. <br />Permit area soil types are as follows: <br />Apmay clay loam, 0 - 1 percent slopes - Moffat Soil map # 5 <br />The 2 pond footprint/excavation areas are located on this soil type. <br />Approximately 35.9 acres will be disturbed for the 2 water surfaces. <br />Another 9.8 acres will be disturbed and reclaimed on the pond perimeters. <br />The 2C Horizon of this soil is the target aggregate resource at site. The 2C <br />Horizon material is very to extremely gravelly, non plastic sandy gravel <br />with 15-40% - 2 inch diameter to 10 inch diameter rock. A sometimes <br />thinning and discontinuous Apamy clay loam topsoil of 0 to 8 inches <br />overlies the aggregate material. Average seasonal groundwater may be <br />encountered from 3 to >6 feet BGL. The aggregate deposit is from 15 to > <br />25 feet in thickness and is derived from alluvial sources. The aggregate <br />deposit reflects a series of lateral meander loops to the south which created <br />a stacked river channel bottom and point bar depositional sequence. <br />Weed sandy loam, 1 -12 percent slopes - Moffat Soil map # 209 <br />This soil type is located on the toe-slope and hillside area to the east and <br />northeast of the Pond 42 footprint excavation area. The hillside toe slope <br />lies along the eastern permit boundary and portions of this soil type will be <br />disturbed by some of pond area excavation and perimeter area concurrent <br />reclamation and road installation. Weed loam soil has some outwash off <br />the slope onto the Apmay clay loam topsoil in the flatter pasture and <br />underlying Apmay 2C aggregate material. Approximately 3 acres of this <br />soil type will be disturbed mostly by the concurrent pond edge reclamation <br />along the eastside (of pond #2) perimeter road. <br />Fluvaquents - Moffat Soil map # 70 <br />This soil type is shown on the Soil Survey map lying across the south end <br />fence line of the 62 acre site. The Fluvaquents soils are generally found in <br />lower flood plains, oxbows, or depressions in stream terraces (in this case <br />a remnant oxbow). Water table is usually high and soil has a range in
