Soil Pits - Soil/Spoil Fertility and Quality
No new soil material placement occurred in 2018; therefore, no soil pits were established
and no soil/spoil quality samples were collected or analyzed.
Soil Balance
No soil salvage occurred in 2018. Therefore, as for the previous years (2013, 2014, 2015,
2016, 2017), the current soil material balance reflects an average soil replacement depth of
2 feet (24 inches).
Soil Salvage, Storage and Replacement
No soil material was repla ed in 2018. Stockpile A contains 91.2 acre-feet (147,150 cy) of

REVEGETATION
• Seeding and Shrub Planting
Table 12.2, PSCM Upland Area Seed Mix, and Table 12.3, PSCM Mesic Site Conditions
Seed Mix, reflect the species and seeding rates for the approved revegetation seed mixes.
Although no seeding was required in 2014 through 2018, supplemental broadcast seeding
was completed in 2014 for recently disturbed ditches, slopes near the portal, and selected
areas within the 356.4 are disturbance boundary to stabilize these areas and increase
vegetative cover. No shru s or trees were planted in 2018.
• Weed Control
Noxious weed surveys wee completed to identify areas of weed infestations on the PSCM
reclaimed areas in 2018. Targeted weed control spraying was conducted using selective
herbicide mixtures to control several identified species with thistle and hounds -tongue as
