Nine soil samples were collected from an area designated as a refuse area in May, 1981 .
The area is in Mid-Continent Resources ' mine area near the town of Redstone, Colorado .
All of the samples represented good quality soil, and graded from fairly shallow on top
of the ridge area (number 1 through 6) to deeper soils on the down slope areas (numbers
8 and 9) . On the down slopes , the sandy loam soil is underlain by a heavy clay loam
deposit .
This soil should support good vegetative growth .
