EXHIBIT I—Soils Information

Soil Description
Soils at the Fiscus North site are described in the Soil Survey of Weld County,Colorado—Northern Part
published in 1981 by the Soil Conservation Service.
Soils at the Fiscus North site include gravelly alluviums(Dix soil—unit 26), arkosic sandy alluvium and
colluvium(Blakeland soil—unit 26), and fine sandy and sandy clay loams(Ascalon unit—units 4 and 6).
The areas of Dix soils may include very coarse sands, gravel, and rock fragments in excess of 3-inches in
diameter. Due to the coarse nature of the Dix soils,the Soil Survey identifies the areas of Dix soils as
having good potential for roadfill construction materials with only good quality sand and gravel potential.
The 1981 soil survey identifies the areas of Blakeland and Ascalon soils as having good potential for
construction materials with only fair quality sand and gravel potential. All soils at the Fiscus North site are
described as having rapid drainage characteristics and severe seepage potential due to the high amounts of
coarse-size (sandy)constituents.
Top soil at the Fiscus North site is sparse and very thin,typically less than 6 inches thick.

Re: File Search for Proposed Fiscus North Gravel Pit in Sec. 7, T10N, R57W
At your request, our office has conducted a search of the Colorado Inventory of Cultural Resources for
this project area.
There are NO identified sites located in the project area and NO surveys have been undertaken in the
project area.
Our files contain incomplete information for this area, as most of Colorado has not yet been inventoried
• for cultural resources. There is the possibility that as yet unidentified cultural resources exist within the
project area.
Therefore, in the event there is Federal or State involvement in the proposed project, we recommend
that a professional survey be conducted to identify any cultural resources in the project area which are
eligible to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places. We look forward to consulting with
you regarding the effect of the proposed project on any eligible cultural resource in accordance with the
Advisory Council on Historic Preservation Procedures for the Preservation and Protection of Historic
and Cultural Resources (36 CFR 800). Please provide this office with the results of the cultural
resource survey for our review of professional adequacy and compliance with regulations.
If you have any questions, please contact Greg Wolff with the Office of Archaeology and Historic
Preservation at(303) 866-4674.
Thank you for youur�rr interest in Colorado's cultural heritage.
