accurately represent the sampled soil series and to provide for adequate sample site distribution <br />across the projected disturbance areas. Transition zones between map units, road edges, fence <br />rows, or previously disturbed areas were avoided. Representative profiles were selected on the <br />basis of medial characteristics for physical and chemical soil characteristics, parent material, <br />landscape position, and vegetation. The major soil horizons (A, B, and C) were separately <br />described, sampled, and analyzed. Portions of paralithic material (Cr), if present, were also <br />described, sampled, and analyzed for characterization purposes and possible subsequent use as <br />a topsoil substitute if needed. <br />Surface and subsoil horizons (A and B horizons) were sampled to represent no greaterthan about <br />six inches of soil material per sample. Sub - horizons (131, B2, etc.), greater than three inches within <br />any major horizon, were separately sampled and analyzed. In the substratum (C horizon), natural <br />horizons (C1, C2, and so forth) were subdivided such that individual samples did not represent <br />greater than about 18 inches of soil material. <br />August 2013 (PR 08) 2.04.9 -6 <br />
