SOILS INFORMATION <br />EXHIBIT I <br />The soil survey performed by the NRCS covers the permit area. The soils mapping is shown on <br />Map C-1. The associated soils type descriptions are enclosed in this exhibit. <br />The primary soils of the site are: <br />1) 26 - Collide Complex, 2-6 percent slopes <br />2)125 - Sideshow Silty Clay Loam, 6-12 percent slopes <br />3) 137 - Ustorthents, 12-65 percent slopes <br />4)150 - ZigZag - Sideshow Complex, 25-65 percent slopes <br />Topsoil will be used to reclaim as it is stripped, with the exception of the initial stockpile which <br />will be used for final reclamation. As mining progresses and overburden is encountered, it too <br />will be used immediately for reclamation. By reclaiming while mining, all soil will be salvaged <br />as best as possible. <br />All topsoil piles will be seeded within a year after they are created with the same rangeland mix <br />shown in the reclamation plan. <br />It is expected that approximately 12 inches of strippable topsoil will be available from the <br />disturbed areas. <br />Simmons Pit, March 2009 I-1
