The soil types in the permit <br /> boundary include Bulkley silty clay, Hesperus loam and Ustorthents frigid-Borolls <br /> complex. The affected area permit boundary encompasses the total extent of surface <br /> disturbance and approximately 25 feet perimeter buffer area to allow ample area for <br /> equipment maneuvering during reclamation, approximately 18.28 acres. <br /> The affected area is characterized by three soil types, channery, loam and silty <br /> loam. The Ustorthents frigid-Borolls complex channery material lies in the north <br /> portion of the permit area. This is the target resource that may have 0 to 3 inches of <br /> overburden. According to the 1977 permit application, the channery complex may be <br /> as deep as 80 feet before reaching unweathered bedrock.

The stratum <br /> below the target material is sedimentary bedrock. The primary commodity is landscape <br /> and construction material. Overburden and fines will be stockpiled on site to be used <br /> during reclamation. <br /> This site will not be mined but rather will begin final reclamation. Material will <br /> not be extracted from the site for sale. Mining equipment will not be on site. <br /> Equipment will be on site to perform reclamantion. <br /> Groundwater is not exposed and is not anticipated to be exposed during future <br /> mining or reclamation.
