SOILS INFORMATION <br />EXHIBIT I <br />The La Plata 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 6 inches potential for salvage. <br />The primary soils of the site are: <br />1) 27 - Falfa clay loam, 3 -8 percent slopes <br />2) 44 - Mikim loam, 3 - 12 percent slopes. <br />3) 70 - Ustic torriorthents-Ustollic Haplargids complex, 12 - 60 percent slopes <br />Topsoil will be used to reclaim the site after mining is completed. As the topsoil is stripped, it <br />will be stockpiled. As mining progresses and overburden is encountered, it will be used <br />immediately for reclamation. By reclaiming while mining, the overburden will only be handled <br />once. All topsoil piles will be seeded within a year after they are created with the same dry <br />rangeland mix shown in the reclamation plan. The slopes of these piles will not exceed 3H:1 V. It <br />is expected that 0-6 inches of strippable topsoil will be available from the disturbed areas. <br />Cugnini Pit, November 2009 1-1
