United States Natural Resources Kremmling FieldOffice <br />US Department of Conservation 106 South 2nd Street <br />Agriculture Service P. O. Box 265 <br />(NRCS) Kremmling, CO 80459 <br />Telephone: (970) 724-3456 hftp://www.co.nres.usda.gov Fax: 1;970) 724-0807 <br />Joe Docheff <br />3-3-2010 <br />' 3933 CR 3 <br />Parshall, CO 80468 <br />Mr. Docheff, <br />This letter and information was developed by the USDA-NRCS in <br />response to your request for soils, vegetation and reclamation <br />information for the existing proposed Parshall Gravel Pit <br />expansion (112 permit) located in T1N R78W sec 31 off GRR 3 <br />south of Parshall. <br />A field visit was not made at this time due snow cover on the <br />' site. A field visit was made to the site by me on May 5, 1997 <br />as part of your original request for information for your 110 <br />permit application. Another field visit was made to the pit in <br />Sept. 2006 to make Diffuse Knapweed control recommendations. <br />The soils and vegetation on the proposed gravel pit expansion <br />have not changed since my original field visit and report dated <br />May 12,1997. Since the intended post mining land use is still <br />pasture/range I refer you to the original report that was <br />developed in 1997. Soils in the expansion area are #83-Tine <br />cobble sandy loam. I am reasonably sure that the existing <br />vegetation is still the same as was documented on corm range <br />condition inventory dated 4-5-1997. The reclamation and <br />revegetation recommendations still stand, just for more acres. <br />Lastly, I cannot over emphasize the need to monitor for,and <br />control noxious weeds at the existing pit and any expansion. <br />There is knapweed, yellow toadflax and leafy spurge very close <br />to the pit. Keep topsoil stockpiles seeded to crrass and treat <br />any new weed infestations as they appear. Don't, let a few stray <br />weeds become a major infestation! <br />' If you need further assistance please don't hesitate to contact <br />our office. <br />' MarVolt <br />District Conservationist <br />The Natural Resources Conservation Service works hand-in-hand with <br />the American people to conserve natural resources on private lands 1-2, AN EQUAL OPPROTUNITY PROVIDER AND EMPLOYER
