• SOILS INFORMATION EXHIBIT I <br />• <br /> <br />The Montrose County Soil Survey performed by the NRCS covers the permit area. The soils <br />mapping is shown on Map C-1. The soil has up to 12 inches potential for salvage. <br />The primary soils of the site are: <br />1. 760 - Mesa clay loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes <br />2. 802 - Mesa gravelly loam, 2 to 5 percent slopes <br />3. 763 - Typical Haplocambids, 12 to 60 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 berms that will remain. As mining progresses and overburden is encountered, it <br />too will be used immediately for reclamation. By reclaiming while mining, all soil will be <br />salvaged as best as possible. <br />All topsoil piles will be seeded within a year after they are created with the same dry rangeland <br />mix shown in the reclamation plan. The slopes of these piles will not exceed 3H:1 V. It is <br />expected that an average of 12 inches of strippable topsoil will be available from the disturbed <br />areas. <br />LaSalle Pit, April 09 <br />I-1
