The site is located east of Highway 85, south of Weld County Road 40 and west of Weld County Road 31. The permit boundary will include 149.51 acres +/-. Existing Conditions and Site Preparation: Existing Conditions The proposed mining area is actively being farmed. Site Preparation Very little site preparation is required, stripping the topsoil and overburden. Mining: Phase 1— to be stripped 2 -feet, stockpiled and sold. Phase 2 — to be stripped 2 -feet, stockpiled and sold. Phase 3 — to be stripped 2 -feet, stockpiled and sold. Phase 4 — to be stripped 2 -feet, stockpiled and sold. The operator will develop and comply with a Stormwater Management Plan and Spill, Prevention, Control and Countermeasures Plan. The operator will notify the Division of Mine Safety and Reclamation in the event of a reportable spill. Processing: All material mined under this proposed application will be transported by excavator, loader or haul truck to the stock pile area. Import Material: Hunt Farms may import material from and export material to other sites. The applicant is aware that in accordance with Rule 3.1.5(9) of the Construction Material Rules and Regulations, if any offsite material is used as backfill, a notarized letter will be submitted to the Division indicating the materials are inert. The applicant will supply such a letter to the Division if, at the time of Reclamation, the applicant intends to use off -site material as backfill. Hunt Farms — WCR 40 Dirt Mine — MLRB 112 Permit Amendment Application Exhibit D -1 (b) Earthmoving; Topsoil and overburden will be stripped with bulldozers, loaders or excavators and stockpiled in the active mine phase. The mined area will be reclaimed to 2 -feet below existing grade and tie into existing grade on the perimeter of the mine. The reclamation detail will include maintaining a 100 -foot buffer around the perimeter and reclaiming the excavation. The mine was excavated down at a 2 to1 horizontal to vertical slope on the east, west and south side, along with feathering grades back into existing on the north by Weld Cunty Road 40. This excavation will be amended and planted with crops or dryland native grasses. Historic drainage patterns will be maintained. (c) All water diversions and impoundments; and The perimeter of the mined area will be dewatered by digging a trench to bedrock. The water will be pumped into a settling pond and discharged in accordance with a CDPS permit. Wash water for the processing area will be recycled through a series of small ponds within the processing area. The water required to operate the facility will likely be provided by the existing water rights associated with the property. No ditches will be disturbed without prior authorization of the appropriate ditch company. (d) The size of area(s) to be worked at any one time. Typically up to 10 acres will be disturbed during mining. (e) An approximate timetable to describe the mining operation. The timetable is for the purpose of establishing the relationship between mining and reclamation during the different phases of a mining operation. The Operator anticipates that mining will commence as soon as all permits are in place. The Operator anticipates extracting approximately 100,000 tons of reclamation soil per year, however, production rate may vary based on market demands. Timetable for Mining and Reclamation There is approximately 500,000 tons of aggregate and which will provide 5 years of reserves. Phase 1 will be mined first, then Phase 2, 3, etc.. Reclamation will begin immediately after mining is complete. When possible, concurrent reclamation practices will be used to minimize site disturbance and to limit material handling to the greatest extent possible. Please refer to the Mining Plan Map in Exhibit C for phase areas to be mined, locations and areas. (f) Use Mining Plan Map in conjunction with narrative to present: Hunt Farms — WCR 40 Dirt Mine — MLRB 112 Permit Amendment Application Exhibit D - 2 Nature, depth and thickness of the deposit and thickness and type of overburden to be removed Exploratory borings were performed by Hunt Farms. The bedrock depths in the proposed mine areas ranged from approximately 20 feet to 30 feet below the ground surface. Groundwater ranges from 4 feet to 18 feet in the four wells that were drilled onsite. (ii.) Nature of the stratum immediately beneath the material to be mined in sedimentary deposits The site is located approximately 15 miles east of the foothills of the Colorado Front Range on the western flank of the Denver Structural Basin. The basin is a downwarp of sedimentary strata that tends north-northwest, parallel to the mountain front. In the project area, the sedimentary bed dips gently eastward toward the axis of the basin east of the site. Based on regional geologic mapping (Colton, 1978), the near surface bedrock in the project area is the Paleocene and Upper Cretaceous Denver and Arapahoe Formations. The bedrock is overlain by upper Pleistocene and Holocene (Quarternary age) gravel deposits and eolian (wind blown) overburden soils. The gravel deposits exist primarily within the Broadway Alluvium deposit. The bedrock unit consists mainly of claystone and may contain lenses of siltstone and sandstone. (g) Identify the primary and secondary commodities to be mined/extracted and describe the intended use. The primary commodities are reclamation fill; intended for construction materials. (h) Name and describe the intended use of all expected incidental products to be mined/extracted by the proposed operation. There are no expected incidental products to be mined. Specify if explosives will be used in conjunction with the mining (or reclamation) No explosive material will be used on -site. (I) Hunt Farms — WCR 40 Dirt Mine — MLRB 112 Permit Amendment Application Exhibit D - 3 EXHIBIT E - RECLAMATION PLAN This information provided in this Exhibit is intended to satisfy the requirements outlined in Section 6.4.5 of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board Construction Material Rules and Regulations: The proposed mining and reclamation plan focuses on minimizing the ecological impacts of mining, minimizing the length of time of impact, and maximizing long-term benefits. Phase 1— mined in year one and reclaimed concurrently. Phase 2 — mined in year two and reclaimed concurrently. Phase 3 — mined in year three and four reclaimed concurrently. Phase 4 — mined in year five and reclaimed concurrently. (a) A description of the type(s) of reclamation the Operator proposes to achieve in the reclamation of the affected land, why each was chosen, the amount of acreage accorded to each, and a general discussion of methods of reclamation as related to the mechanics of earthmoving; The mined area will be reclaimed to 2 -feet below existing grade and tie into existing grade on the perimeter of the mine. The mine will include a 100 -foot buffer around the perimeter of the excavation. The mine was excavated down at a 2 to1 horizontal to vertical slope on the east, west and south side, along with feathering grades back into existing on the north by Weld Cunty Road 40. This excavation will be amended and planted with crops or dryland native grasses. Historic drainage patterns will be maintained. Refer to Exhibit F for the acreages and additional details. Earthmoving The soil amendment will be placed by a loader and generally graded with a blade. All grading will be done in a manner that controls erosion and siltation of the affected lands, to protect areas outside the affected land from slides and other damage. In addition, all backfilling and grading will be completed as soon as feasible after the mining process. All disturbed areas will be regraded and smoothed to a finished grade that is suitable for revegetation or the final land use. See attached mining plan for historic and proposed grades. As noted previously, the area will be reclaimed as mining commences. Finish grading, topsoil placement and seeding will occur once the resource is completely removed. A typical cross-section of the shoreline is included on the Reclamation Plan Map. (b) A comparison of the proposed post -mining land use to other land uses in the vicinity and to adopted state and local land use plans and programs. Once returned to reclaimed, the site can return to being farmed. (c) A description of how the Reclamation Plan will be implemented to meet each applicable requirement of Section 3.1. The Operator will carry reclamation to completion with reasonable diligence. Reclamation will be completed within one to two years from completion of mining, but not more than five Hunt Farms — WCR 40 Dirt Mine — MLRB 112 Permit Amendment Application Exhibit E -1 years from the date the Operator informs the Board or Office that such phase has commenced. Section 3.1.5 Reclamation Measures Material Handling: Grading will be performed to help control erosion and siltation of the affected lands through phased mining, implementing good operation techniques to handle material as little as possible, and vegetation of stockpiles remaining in place for more than one growing season. Although the use of erosion protection devices is not anticipated, if deemed necessary by the operator at the time of excavation, silt fence and haybale dams will be installed to prevent erosion. Backfilling and grading will be completed as soon as feasible after the mining process is complete. Maximum slopes and slope combinations will be compatible with the configuration of surrounding conditions and selected land use. Mining will occur at a slope that is stable. The site will be reclaimed to grades consistent with pre -mining elevations. The operator will backfill using fill material generated on -site, or imported inert fill generated outside the permit area. If any inert off -site material is used as backfill, a notarized letter will be submitted to the Division as required by Section 3.1.5(9) of the MLRB Construction Material Rules and Regulations. It is not anticipated that mining will uncover any refuse or acid-forming or toxic producing materials, however if any such materials are encountered the operator will take precaution to handle the materials in a manner that will control unsightliness and protect the drainage system. Drill or auger holes that are part of the mining operation shall be plugged with non- combustible material, which shall prevent harmful or polluting drainage. Any test pits, soils boring holes, or monitoring wells not located within the mine excavation limits will be plugged as soon as it can be confirmed that they are no longer needed for the operation. Mined material to be disposed of within the affected area will be handled in such a manner so as to prevent any unauthorized release of pollutants to the surface drainage system. No unauthorized release of pollutants to groundwater shall occur from any materials mined, handled or disposed of within the permit area. Section 3.1.6 Water -General Requirements: The Operator will comply with applicable Colorado water laws governing injury to existing water rights and with applicable state and federal water quality and dredge and fill laws and regulations. The operator will develop and comply with a stormwater management plan and will use best management practices (BMPs) to ensure groundwater and surface water are protected to the greatest possible extent. BMPs include schedules of activities, prohibitions of practices, maintenance procedures and other management practices to prevent or reduce the pollution in runoff from the site. Hunt Farms — WCR 40 Dirt Mine — MLRB 112 Permit Amendment Application Exhibit E - 2 Section 3.1.7 Groundwater - Specific Requirements: The Operator will comply with the applicable standards and conditions for classified and unclassified groundwater. Section 3.1.8 Wildlife: The mining and reclamation plans have been designed to account for the safety and protection of wildlife on the mine site. The Operator will use concurrent reclamation methods to minimize the impact on wildlife. The proposed reclamation plan may improve wildlife habitat. The proposed seed mix and plantings will create improved cover, foraging, roosting, and nesting areas for wildlife. The water area within the reservoir will serve as habitat for waterfowl and other bird species and the fringes of the reservoir will be used by mammal, bird, reptile and amphibian species. Control and/or removal of noxious and weedy species during the project and the replacement of desirable graminoid, forb, shrub and tree species during reclamation will result in enhancement of wildlife habitat on the project site. Section 3.1.9 Topsoiling: Topsoil might be removed and segregated from other spoil. The top soil might be blended or used for reclamation. Topsoil stockpiles shall be stored in places and configurations to minimize erosion and located in areas where disturbance by ongoing mining operations will be minimized. Once stockpiled, topsoil shall be rehandled as little as possible. Stockpiles that will remain in place for more than one growing season will receive vegetative cover, as outlined on the Reclamation Plan Map, as soon as possible to minimize erosion. Section 3.1.10 Revegetation: In those areas where revegetation is part of the reclamation plan, the land shall be revegetated in a manner that establishes a diverse, effective, and long-lasting vegetative cover that is capable of self -regeneration without continued dependence on irrigation or fertilizer and is at least equal in extent of cover to the natural vegetation of the surrounding area. The proposed seed -mix and plantings for reclamation are outlined on the Reclamation Plan included in Exhibit F of this application. Section 3.1.11 Buildings and Structures: Please refer to the enclosed Reclamation Plan included in Exhibit F. Section 3.1.12 Signs and Markers: The Operator will post appropriate signage at the entrance to the mine site. The permit area will be marked by existing fencing, or proximity to existing County roads. (d) Plans for topsoil segregation, preservation and replacement; for stabilization, compaction and grading of spoil; and for revegetation. Topsoil will be removed and segregated from other spoil. Topsoil not needed for reclamation may be sold or removed from the site. For reclamation, topsoil will be replaced by a scraper and generally graded with a blade. Grading shall be done in a manner that controls erosion and siltation of the affected land and protects areas outside the affected land from slides and other damage. In addition, backfilling and grading shall be completed as soon as feasible after the mining process. Final grading will create a final topography that is appropriate for the final land use. For example, grades on the site will maintain historic drainage. Topsoil will be uniformly Hunt Farms — WCR 40 Dirt Mine — MLRB 112 Permit Amendment Application Exhibit E - 3 placed and spread on areas disturbed by the mining. The minimum thickness shall be 6 inches above the surrounding finished grade, consistent with existing topsoil depths on - site. The topsoil shall be keyed to the underlying and surrounding material by the use of harrows, rollers or other equipment suitable for the purpose. In those areas where revegetation is part of the reclamation plan, the Operator will revegetate the land in such a manner so as to establish a diverse, effective, and long- lasting vegetative cover that is capable of self -regeneration without continued dependence on irrigation or fertilizer and is at least equal in extent of cover to the natural vegetation of the surrounding area. Seed will be drilled and mulched. The revegetation seeding and plant list on the Reclamation Plan Map contains the preferred species of grasses, shrubs and trees to be planted. Seeding will take place once final grading and replacement of topsoil have been completed. Timing of seeding will be consistent with standard horticultural practice for dryland applications - generally between late September and the middle of April to ensure there is adequate moisture for germination.

The purpose of the site investigation was to assess the likelihood of encountering jurisdictional wetlands and waters of the United States, potential habitat for the Preble's meadow jumping mouse (Zapus hudsonius preblei), Ute ladies -tresses orchid (Spiranthes diluvialis), bald eagle nests or roosts, and any other protected species. The on -site investigation of the proposed WCR 40 Soil Mine site consisted of a pedestrian and vehicle inspection of approximately 150 acres contained in the NE% of Section 33 and the N1/2 of Section 34 within T4N, R66W of the 6th prime meridian in Weld County, Colorado. The site is bounded on the north by the Weld County Road 40, the east by Weld County Road 31, the south by adjacent agricultural fields, and the west by a feed lot. Currently, the property is used for irrigated agriculture. Adjacent land uses include residential, agriculture, a feed lot, oil and gas development, and grazing. Findings of the preliminary site investigation are detailed below. Waters of the United States Waters of the United States, regulated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, are all waters which were, are, or could be used in interstate commerce; and include (but are not limited to) rivers, streams, sloughs, and adjacent wetlands. No waters of the United States were identified on the property, based on a review of Google Earth ° aerial imagery and verified by pedestrian and vehicular on -site inspection. The nearest waters of the United States navigable waterway is the South Platte River located three miles to the northwest. Jurisdictional Wetlands Regulated jurisdictional wetlands encountered in Colorado include submergent, emergent, wet meadows, sloughs, surface water drainage ditches, bogs, and potholes. No areas concluded to be jurisdictional wetlands were identified within the proposed project area. The southwest boundary of the project site (located within the fallow area on the aerial) contained hydrophytic vegetation species (including Scirpus americanus, Rumex crispus, and Phalaris arundinacea) within small inclusions. The inclusions did not contain evidence of hydric soils or a prevailing hydrology indicative of significant saturation or inundation during the growing season. Further investigation revealed that the southwest boundary has the lowest elevation of the project site and is downgradient from an irrigation tailwater pond and row irrigation within the farm immediately to the south. The location of the small inclusions is also isolated from any adjacent waters of the United States, further rendering the areas non jurisdictional. Preble's Meadow Jumping Mouse Habitat The Preble's meadow jumping mouse (Zapus hudsonius preblei) is a federally listed threatened species which generally occurs near wetlands and water bodies. The property was evaluated for potential Preble's habitat, based on the current U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service guidelines. No potential habitat for the Preble's meadow jumping mouse exists within the proposed project area. The proposed project site does not contain requisite habitat (riparian corridors with significant overstory and shrub understory, or wet meadows). Ute Ladies -tresses Orchid Habitat The Ute ladies -tresses orchid (Spiranthes diluvialis) is a federally listed threatened plant species characteristically found in wet meadows and alluvial flood plains below 6500 feet in northern Colorado, southwestern Wyoming, and the Uintah Basin of Utah. Habitat assessments and/or pedestrian surveys during the blooming period are required for sites within the South Platte River 100 -year floodplain and in characteristic habitat which includes areas with a seasonally high water table, wet meadows, stream channels, floodplains, areas with vegetation in the facultative wet or obligate classification, and jurisdictional wetlands. Based on the preliminary investigation, there is no potential orchid habitat within the proposed project area, as the characteristic orchid habitat elements are not present. Bald Eagle Habitat A review of the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) website (https://cogccmap.state.co.us/cogcc_gis_online/) for identified bald eagle nests and roosts did not identify any nests or roosts within three miles of the project site. The nearest bald eagle nests and roosts are located along the South Platte River corridor to the northwest. During our on-stie investigation no evidence of bald eagle roosts, nests, or bald eagles were observed. No prairie dogs or prairie dog colonies that would provide a food source for eagles or other raptors were found within the property. Other Potential Species of Concern In addition to bald eagle nests and roosts, the COGCC website was searched for locations of burrowing owl, ferruginous hawk, golden eagle, northern goshawk, peregrine falcon, and prairie falcon active nest sites. None were within the project area or within two miles of the project site. Least tern and piping plover production areas were searched, and none were located within the project site or within five miles of the project site. No mule deer migration corridors, winter concentration areas, or severe winter range are located within three miles of the project area. Discussion and Recommendations No jurisdictional wetlands or waters of the United States are present within the proposed project area. No potential Preble's meadow jumping mouse habitat was observed within the proposed project area. Characteristic potential habitat for the Ute ladies -tresses orchid is not present within the project area. No evidence of bald eagles was observed on the project site, nor have any bald eagle nests or roosts been identified within three miles of the project site. No evidence of other species of concern was found within the project area. No identified locations for the above species of concern were located within the vicinity of the project area.

They highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information about the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for many different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists, urban planners, community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers. Also, conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, waste disposal, and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand, protect, or enhance the environment. Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil properties that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions. The information is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of soil limitations on various land uses. The landowner or user is responsible for identifying and complying with existing laws and regulations. Although soil survey information can be used for general farm, local, and wider area planning, onsite investigation is needed to supplement this information in some cases. Examples include soil quality assessments (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/ portal/nres/main/soils/health/) and certain conservation and engineering applications. For more detailed information, contact your local USDA Service Center (https://offices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locator/app?agency=nres) or your NRCS State Soil Scientist (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/soils/contactus/? cid=nrcs142p2_053951). Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as septic tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to basements or underground installations. The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United States Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the National Cooperative Soil Survey. Information about soils is updated periodically. Updated information is available through the NRCS Web Soil Survey, the site for official soil survey information.

They include a description of the soils and miscellaneous areas and their location on the landscape and tables that show soil properties and limitations affecting various uses. Soil scientists observed the steepness, length, and shape of the slopes; the general pattern of drainage; the kinds of crops and native plants; and the kinds of bedrock. They observed and described many soil profiles. A soil profile is the sequence of natural layers, or horizons, in a soil. The profile extends from the surface down into the unconsolidated material in which the soil formed or from the surface down to bedrock. The unconsolidated material is devoid of roots and other living organisms and has not been changed by other biological activity. Currently, soils are mapped according to the boundaries of major land resource areas (MLRAs). MLRAs are geographically associated land resource units that share common characteristics related to physiography, geology, climate, water resources, soils, biological resources, and land uses (USDA, 2006). Soil survey areas typically consist of parts of one or more MLRA. The soils and miscellaneous areas in a survey area occur in an orderly pattern that is related to the geology, landforms, relief, climate, and natural vegetation of the area. Each kind of soil and miscellaneous area is associated with a particular kind of landform or with a segment of the landform. By observing the soils and miscellaneous areas in the survey area and relating their position to specific segments of the landform, a soil scientist develops a concept, or model, of how they were formed. Thus, during mapping, this model enables the soil scientist to predict with a considerable degree of accuracy the kind of soil or miscellaneous area at a specific location on the landscape. Commonly, individual soils on the landscape merge into one another as their characteristics gradually change. To construct an accurate soil map, however, soil scientists must determine the boundaries between the soils. They can observe only a limited number of soil profiles. Nevertheless, these observations, supplemented by an understanding of the soil -vegetation -landscape relationship, are sufficient to verify predictions of the kinds of soil in an area and to determine the boundaries. Soil scientists recorded the characteristics of the soil profiles that they studied. They noted soil color, texture, size and shape of soil aggregates, kind and amount of rock fragments, distribution of plant roots, reaction, and other features that enable them to identify soils. After describing the soils in the survey area and determining their properties, the soil scientists assigned the soils to taxonomic classes (units). Taxonomic classes are concepts. Each taxonomic class has a set of soil characteristics with precisely defined limits. The classes are used as a basis for comparison to classify soils systematically. Soil taxonomy, the system of taxonomic classification used in the United States, is based mainly on the kind and character of soil properties and the arrangement of horizons within the profile. After the soil 5 Custom Soil Resource Report scientists classified and named the soils in the survey area, they compared the individual soils with similar soils in the same taxonomic class in other areas so that they could confirm data and assemble additional data based on experience and research. The objective of soil mapping is not to delineate pure map unit components; the objective is to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. Each map unit is defined by a unique combination of soil components and/or miscellaneous areas in predictable proportions. Some components may be highly contrasting to the other components of the map unit. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The delineation of such landforms and landform segments on the map provides sufficient information for the development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas. Soil scientists make many field observations in the process of producing a soil map. The frequency of observation is dependent upon several factors, including scale of mapping, intensity of mapping, design of map units, complexity of the landscape, and experience of the soil scientist. Observations are made to test and refine the soil -landscape model and predictions and to verify the classification of the soils at specific locations. Once the soil -landscape model is refined, a significantly smaller number of measurements of individual soil properties are made and recorded. These measurements may include field measurements, such as those for color, depth to bedrock, and texture, and laboratory measurements, such as those for content of sand, silt, clay, salt, and other components. Properties of each soil typically vary from one point to another across the landscape. Observations for map unit components are aggregated to develop ranges of characteristics for the components. The aggregated values are presented. Direct measurements do not exist for every property presented for every map unit component. Values for some properties are estimated from combinations of other properties. While a soil survey is in progress, samples of some of the soils in the area generally are collected for laboratory analyses and for engineering tests. Soil scientists interpret the data from these analyses and tests as well as the field -observed characteristics and the soil properties to determine the expected behavior of the soils under different uses. Interpretations for all of the soils are field tested through observation of the soils in different uses and under different levels of management. Some interpretations are modified to fit local conditions, and some new interpretations are developed to meet local needs. Data are assembled from other sources, such as research information, production records, and field experience of specialists. For example, data on crop yields under defined levels of management are assembled from farm records and from field or plot experiments on the same kinds of soil. Predictions about soil behavior are based not only on soil properties but also on such variables as climate and biological activity. Soil conditions are predictable over long periods of time, but they are not predictable from year to year. For example, soil scientists can predict with a fairly high degree of accuracy that a given soil will have a high water table within certain depths in most years, but they cannot predict that a high water table will always be at a specific level in the soil on a specific date. After soil scientists located and identified the significant natural bodies of soil in the survey area, they drew the boundaries of these bodies on aerial photographs and 6 Custom Soil Resource Report identified each as a specific map unit. Aerial photographs show trees, buildings, fields, roads, and rivers, all of which help in locating boundaries accurately. 7 Soil Map The soil map section includes the soil map for the defined area of interest, a list of soil map units on the map and extent of each map unit, and cartographic symbols displayed on the map.

The map unit descriptions, along with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit. A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class. Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without including areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is made up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils. Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the 11 Custom Soil Resource Report scale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas are identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a given area, the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit descriptions along with some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor components may not have been observed, and consequently they are not mentioned in the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that it was impractical to make enough observations to identify all the soils and miscellaneous areas on the landscape. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. The delineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for the development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, however, onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas. An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions. Each description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil properties and qualities. Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for differences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major horizons that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement. Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness, salinity, degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the basis of such differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas shown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase commonly indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series. Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas. These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups. A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps. The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar in all areas. Alpha -Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example. An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present or anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered practical or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The pattern and relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar. Alpha -Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example. An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas that could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can be made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made up of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example. Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil material and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example. 12 Custom Soil Resource Report Weld County, Colorado, Southern Part 4—Aquolls and Aquepts, flooded Map Unit Setting National map unit symbol: 3621 Elevation: 3,600 to 4,700 feet Mean annual precipitation: 12 to 16 inches Mean annual air temperature: 50 to 55 degrees F Frost -free period: 100 to 165 days Farmland classification: Prime farmland if drained and either protected from flooding or not frequently flooded during the growing season Map Unit Composition Aquolls and similar soils: 55 percent Aquepts, flooded, and similar soils: 25 percent Minor components: 20 percent Estimates are based on observations, descriptions, and transects of the mapunit.

This property is in a semi -arid continental climate strongly influenced by the Rocky Mountains. The area is usually warm in the summer with frequent hot days. In winter, periods of very cold weather are caused by arctic air moving in from the north or northwest. Milder periods occur when westerly winds are warmed as they move down slope off of the mountains to the west. Weather monitoring data is not available from the site. The nearest weather monitoring station is at Ft. Lupton and Brighton, Colorado. Data is collected from the Western Regional Climate Center. The table below lists the mean monthly temperature, and average total precipitation on a monthly and annual basis for the period of record from January 1, 1950 to December 31, 2000. Most of the precipitation occurs as rainfall during the warmer part of the year with the heaviest rainfalls in the late spring and early summer. Winter snowfall is frequent but the snow cover usually melts quickly during the milder periods. Mean Monthly Temperature (F) Average Total Precipitation (in.)
