SOILS INFORMATION 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 - Berto-Roygorge, 5-15 percent slopes <br />2) 27 - Rock outcrop bledsaw complex, 25-65 percent slopes <br />3) 137 - Blackston very gravely sandy clay, 3 - 25 percent slopes <br />The limited amount of topsoil will be used to reclaim as it is stripped, with the exception of the <br />initial stockpile which will be used for final reclamation. As mining progresses and overburden <br />is encountered, it too will be used immediately for reclamation. By reclaiming while mining, all <br />soil will be salvaged 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 0-5 inches of strippable topsoil will be available from the <br />disturbed areas. <br />Craig Ranch Pit, March 2011 I-1
