s These values may vary depending upon the plant species proposed for revegetation in specific <br />locations (e.g., a soil with a high coarse fragment content throughout its profile may be completely <br />salvaged if used for rangeland versus cropland postmine land use). <br />The suitabitity2a2=1i=ty evaluations, based on averages across the study area, were used for topsoil <br />volume determinations presented in the Topsoil Management Plan section of Section 2.05.4(2)(d), <br />Topsoil (Redistribution). The number of profiles on which these averages are based is noted in the <br />Soil Profile descriptions range of characteristics. The recommended topsoil salvage depths for <br />each map unit are averages of each major component of the map unit (those listed in the map unit <br />name - for both associations and complexes) as well as major soil inclusions as presented within <br />the map units. <br />12. Soil Survey Maps <br />The distribution of each soil map unit on the New Horizon Mine study area for 1988, 1996 and 1998 <br />is provided as a composite on Map 2.04.9 -1. <br />Typifying soil pedons (soil sample locations), as well as soil profile description locations are also <br />denoted on Map 2.04.9 -1. A complete soil identification legend, which identifies all mapping unit <br />symbols, is on Attachment 2.04.9 -1. A soil classification legend that identifies the taxonomy of <br />each named soil component is in Attachment 2.04.9 -2. A Taxonomic unit description of each <br />named soil component is provided as Attachment 2.04.9 -3.
