Potential Suitability for Topsoil Salvage and Reclamation Potential <br /> Archuleta-Sanchez Stony Complex <br /> The potential for salvaging sufficient quantities of topsoil from areas with this soil <br /> type is limited, given the shallow nature and presence of bedrock fragments. <br /> Big Blue Clay Loam <br /> Soil salvage from this soil unit is limited given the high clay component and potential <br /> for salts in lower horizons of this soil. Based on the descriptions from the NRCS, it is <br /> anticipated that four (4) inches of topsoil is acceptable for salvage, with another six <br /> (6) inches of underlying soil, if field inspection reveals that the underlying horizon is <br /> not salty in nature or does not contain more than 35% clay fraction. <br /> Lazear Stony Loam/Lazear Rock Outcrop Complex <br /> As with the Archuleta-Sanchez Stony Complex, the potential for salvaging sufficient <br /> quantities of topsoil from areas with this soil type is limited, given the shallow nature <br /> and presence of bedrock fragments. <br /> Pulpit Loam <br /> Soil salvage for disturbance within this soil series may yield depths up to 30" of <br /> topsoil and subsoil (B horizon) materials. Salvage should be terminated with the <br /> encountering of the sandstone parent material, regardless of depth. <br /> Witt Loam <br /> Soil salvage for disturbance within this soil series may yield depths up to 60" of <br /> topsoil and subsoil (B horizon) materials. <br /> Zau Stony Loam <br /> The potential for Zau soils to be suitable for salvage and use in reclamation is <br /> dependent on the presence and fraction of rock within the soil column. Locations <br /> with more than 15-20% rock fragments are not generally suitable for use in <br /> reclamation. <br /> GCC Energy, LLC King II Mine <br /> Section 2.04.9 <br /> Page 6 December 18, 2019 (MR-50) <br />
