GEOLOGIC AND SOILS REPORT
The proposed small contractor's yard within Parcel 1 of Rifle Village South, according to
geological hazard maps provided by Garfield County, is not a slope or soil hazard nor is the
surficial geology a geological hazard. These maps are provides within Tab 8 of the application.
The attached soils classification map from the United States Department of Agriculture, Soil
Conservation Service's "Soil Survey of Rifle Area, Colorado, Parts of Garfield and Mesa
Counties" shows the entire site be Arvada —Torrifluvents-Heldt. This soil is not ideal for
community development due to high shrink -swell potential. Since a proposed gravel area is all
that is proposed, there should be no concerns with the proposal.
This land is difficult to establish revegetation. The applicant is proposing to place a dry seed mix
as shown on the grading plan on the disturbed ground not covered in retaining wall and gravel.
If the revegetation has not taken hold after a field inspection 12 months following the seeded,
drill seeding and irrigation may have to be considered. The applicant is willing to follow the
recommendations of the County Inspector.
