Topsoil Management <br />The topsoil in the affected area is thin to non - existent and found in small pockets on the generally rocky <br />landscape. Topsoil that is saved will be stockpiled in areas immediately adjacent to the anticipated final <br />limits of the marble block waste piles, to be used subsequently for reclamation. Areas designated for <br />topsoil are the benches created from stacking the marble blocks in the retaining wall. No topsoil <br />stockpiles are anticipated at this time. Should it be found that mining activity sequencing allows or <br />requires short term stockpiling; such topsoil piles will be placed to avoid contamination with rock or <br />other materials, out of traffic areas, and not in areas where the material would be lost to erosion. Salvage <br />of this resource will be done where feasible, but very little topsoil is expected to be possible to salvage. <br />5.
