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.nres.usda.gov/wps/portal/ nrrc(rnninfsnils/health/) and r.ertain nnnsnrvatinn and anoineerinn appliratinns_ For • V V I" 1- m�ore^ detailed information, contact your local USDA Service Center (http:li off;cc s.sc.egov.usda.govilocatorlapp?agency=rrc s) or your NRCS State Soil Scientist (http://www.nres.usda.gov/wpslportallnres/detaillsoils/contactusl? cid=nres142p2_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 scientists classified and named the soils in the survey area, they compared the 5 Custom Soil Resource Report 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 me soil -landscape model is retinea, a signiticantly 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 soii 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 identified each as a specific map unit. Aerial photographs show trees, buildings, fields, roads, and rivers, all of which help in locating boundaries accurately. 6 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. Also presented are various metadata about data used to produce the map, and a description of each soil map unit. 7 Custom Soil Resource Report _0 Ce u. 0 2 MAP LEGEND were mapped at 1:24,000.

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 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 10 Custom Soil Resource Report 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. 11 Custom Soil Resource Report Weld County, Colorado, Southern Part 35--Loup-Boel loamy sands, 0 to 3 percent slopes Map Unit Setting National map unit symbol: 362f Elevation: 4,550 to 4,750 feet Mean annual precipitation: 11 to 15 inches Mean annual air temperature: 46 to 52 degrees F Frost -free period: 130 to 180 days Farmland classification: Not prime farmland Map Unit Composition Loup and similar soils: 55 percent Boel and similar soils: 35 percent Minor components: 10 percent Estimates are based on observations, descriptions, and transects of the mapunit.

Name of Site: Front Range Feed Lot Borrow Date: July 27, 2016 EXHIBIT C — Mining plan (a) Commencement and Duration of Borrow Operation The borrow operation is for a single specific project. Operations would begin on September 6, 2016 and would be complete by November 30, 2017. This time window includes the foiEowing pnases: 1. Topsoil salvaging and haul road construction; 2. Excavation and hauling of the borrow materials, 3. Excavation from the existing road brought back into the borrow hole 4. Closing of the borrow — final grading of the slopes, topsoil placement, and completion of the reclamation ptar i . (b) Topsoil replacement depth. The existing topsoil conditions in the area show an average of 3 inches. This topsoil will be stockpiled and respreads at the end at the depth or thicker. (c) Overburden The borrow materials do not have any overlying overburden or waste materials. (d) Thickness of deposit to be mined A ten foot thickness maximum of borrow material will be removed. Page 1 of 4 Exhibit C (e) Major Components of the mining operation. The haul road through the permitted site and the area of borrow excavation are the only components of the mining operation. Once the topsoil has been salvaged and the haul road constructed, excavation/hauling operations will begin. The borrow material will be excavated using large backhoes/loaders and placed directly into truck -trailer hauling units for transporting to the job site on WCR 49 immediately next to the borrow site Excavation of the borrow materials will proceed in a west to east direction. The side slopes of the final excavation are to be at a maximum gradient of 3:1 (horizontal to vertical). As the borrow material is being removed, the excavation in the area of the final slopes will be done at this 3:1 gradient. (f) Dimensions of land disturbance. The area of land disturbance is rectangular in configuration. The dimensions of the disturbed area are 500 feet x 500 feet, this includes the area of the topsoil berm at the top of the excavation slopes. These dimensions result in an area of 5.80 acres (g) Haul road dimensions. A haul road will be constructed to connect existing property roads to the excavation area. This new road will be 30 feet wide and 1,500 feet long. (h) Water use. The only water to be used in conjunction with the borrow site operation, will be water applied to the on -site roads for dust control. Approximately 8,000 gallons of water per day will be used for dust control. The source of this supply will be the same as the project's water source along Weld County Road 49 Page 2of4 Exhibit C (i) Groundwater/surface water occurrence or disturbance. Ground water will not be encountered during this operation. Contamination of surface stormwater runoff will be controlled by diverting the runoff around the disturbed areas. This will be accomplished by perimeter berms of compacted soil around the excavation area. (j) Existing water rights Water rights will not be affected or impacted by the proposed borrow operation. (k) Refuse and acid or toxic producing materials. There are no known refuse, acid or toxic producing materials in the area of the proposed borrow. If they are encountered, borrow operations will cease and the materials will be contained in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. (I) Measures to minimize disturbance to hydrologic balance, off -site damage and provide for a reclaimed area that has a stable configuration consistent with the proposed future land use. Hydrologic balance -- The proposed borrow operation impacts on the hydrologic balance will be minimal — groundwater will not be encountered (therefore, no dewatering). The reclaimed site will have a pervious cover of corn stalk and straw mulch which will not impact the pervious nature of the underlying sandy soils. Off -site damage — The boundaries of the excavation area and haul road will be clearly marked to prevent off -site damage during the borrow activities. Through the use of perimeter berms to prevent stormwater from running through the disturbed areas, off -site damage due to contaminated stormwater runoff will be prevented. By conducting the borrow operations during the low precipitation months and in view of the sandy nature of the soils and gentle slope of the land, increased runoff flows are not anticipated. Completion of the Page 3 of 4 Exhibit C reclamation plan for the site will remove the potential for future off -site damage. Stable configuration — The borrow area's slopes will be finished to a maximum 3:1 slope. This slope gradient, the features of the reclamation plan and the natural properties of the site's soils will result in a stable configuration of the reclaimed site that be suitable for the intended future use -- rangeland. (m) On -site processing. There will be no on -site processing of the borrow materials. (n) Commodities to be extracted and their use The only commodity to be extracted at this site is the sandy soil. The material will be used for fill purposes on a county highway improvement project along Weld County Road 49. (o) No incidental products will be mined at the borrow site. (p) No explosives will be used in the operations at the borrow site. Page 4 of 4 Exhibit D Applicant: Ames Construction, Inc. Name of Site: Front Range Feed Lot Borrow Date: July 27, 2016 EXHIBIT D — Reclamation Plan At the conclusion of the excavation activities, the site will be reclaimed by grading the excavation slopes to a final gradient and the excavation bottom to a uniform level. The vegetative growth support material, temporarily stored in the perimeter berms, will be placed on the excavation slopes and bottom. The constructed access road will be removed and its' disturbed area included in the reclamation activities — 1 . a' t 1 r ur ilC5J lI IC pi upCi ty uvvr ici r equet is ii. ue iCi i 1O1 r nns l ui.ure use. A detailed description of the Reclamation Plan is as follows: (1) (a) Overburden replacement There is no overburden to salvage and/or replace at this nnpratinn (b) Reclaimed slope gradient The reclaimed slopes will be constructed to a 3:1 gradient. (c) Revegetation measures to reclaim the site. Ames will be utilizing Arnolds Agg to seed and we will have them follow the reclamation plans the will utilized on the Weld County Road 49 Project. Prior to the placement and incorporation of the soil amendments, the perimeter berm will be removed and the berm material (vegetative support materials) will be spread over the borrow slopes, bottom and site roadway The revegetation measures would be performed in the fall of 2017. Page 1 of 3 Exhibit D (d) There will be no features such as ponds, streams, roads or buildings remaining on the borrow area after reclamation. (e) All features have been previously addressed in the Reclamation Plan. (2) Cost estimate to reclaim the site. The point of maximum disturbance to site will be when the excavation activities are finished. Due to the configuration of the borrow, reclamation activities would not begin until that time. Since the excavation slopes were left at a 3:1 gradient during the borrow removal process, the remaining reclamation work would consist of removing the perimeter berms and placing the topsoil materials over the disturbed areas followed by the application of the recommended soil amendments, seed and mulch. 1. Placement of salvaged topsoil: Quantity = 2,360 cubic yards Equipment: Self -loading scraper (similar to CAT 623) Dozer (similar to CAT D6) Labor: 2 equipment operators and 1/2 time foreman Production rate: 130 cubic yards per hour Hours required to complete = 2,360/130 = 18 hours Equipment costs per hour = $ 240.00 Labor costs per hour = $ 150.00 Total per hour = $ 390.00 Page 2 of 3 Exhibit D Equipment and Labor Total = 18 hours x $ 390 = $ 7,020 Mobilization: 2 pieces in and out = $ 0.00 (Ames onsite for county road project already. TOTAL for this item = $ 7,020 or $ 2.97/cubic yard. (No markup) 2. Seedbed preparation, application of soil amendments, seed and mulch. The cost of performing these items, based on a quote from Arnold's Ag Group LLC is: Straw mulch Tackifier Seed : Total $ 500/acre $ 1100/acre $ 375/acre $ 1,975/acre TOTAL for this item = 6.0 acres x $ 1,975/acre = $ 11,850 Total Cost to reclaim site = $ 7,020 + $ 11,850 = $ 18,870.
