Exhibit I - Soils Information <br />The soils for this area have been mapped and described by the U.S.D.A. <br />Natural Resources Conservation Service (MRCS), formerly the Soil Conservation <br />Service in an unpublished survey. According to the survey for Park County, four <br />mapping units occur in the affected area: (HbW) Unnamed (Hartbuckle proposed) <br />loam, deep water table, 0 to 1 percent slopes; (HbA) Unnamed (Hartbuckle <br />proposed) fine sandy loam, 0 to 1 percent slopes; (TA) Temdille-Levenmile sandy <br />loams, 1 to 3 percent slopes; and (L n) Levenmile sandy loam, 3 to 8 percent slopes. <br />Figure I included herein is a soils map of the area delineating the mapping <br />unit. Characteristics of the soil mapping units follow. The descriptions were obtained <br />from the unpublished survey. <br />(HbW) Unnamed (Hartbuckle proposed) loam, deep water table, 0 to 1 <br />percent slopes. Taxonomic Class: Sandy-skeletal, mixed Typic Cryoborolls. The soil <br />is deep and moderately well drained. It formed on stream terraces in alluvium. <br />Typically the surface layer is brown loam about 6 inches thick. Below that is <br />extremely gravelly very coarse sand about 25 inches thick. This overlies extremely <br />gravelly coarse sandy loam about 8 inches thick. Below that to a depth of 60 inches or <br />more is extremely gravelly very coarse sand. <br />Permeability is rapid below the surface layer. The available water capacity is low. <br />Runoff is slow and the hazard of water erosion is slight- <br />(HbA) Unnamed (Hartbuckle proposed) fine sandy loam, 0 to 1 percent <br />slopes. Taxonimic Class: Sandy-skeletal, mixed Typic Cryoborolls. The soil is deep and <br />somewhat excessively drained. It formed on stream terraces in alluvium. <br />Typically a one inch layer of peat overlies the surface soil. The surface layer is <br />brown fine sandy loam about 7 inches thick. Below that is extremely gravelly very coarse <br />sandy loam about 6 inches thick. This overlies extremely gravelly very coarse sand to a <br />depth of 60 inches or more. <br />Permeability is very rapid below the surface layer. The available water capacity is <br />low. Runoff is slow and the hazard of water erosion is slight. <br />(TA) Temd i lle-Leven mile sandy loams, 1 to 3 percent slopes. Taxonimic <br />Class: (Temdille) Sandy-skeletal, mixed Typic Cryoborolls; (Levenmile) Coarse-loamy <br />mixed Typic Cryoborolls. The soils are very deep and well drained. They formed on <br />alluvial fans in alluvium. The map unit consists of about 50 percent Temdille soil, 40 <br />percent Levenmile soil and 10 percent contrasting inclusions. <br />-17-
