P4r. Dan Matthews Page No. 3 October 29, 1981 This road was constructed for use by past underground mining operations, and the Bear Coal Company currently only plans to upgrade the road to conform with current performance standards. No light use roads will be necessary at the mining site. Soils The surface support facilities will 10 acres in size. t4ost of the area past underground mining operations. the Bear Coal Company will move one storage in a topsoil stockpile. In quantity of soil found at the site, of the following parameters: be located on an area less than has been previously affected by Prior to relocation of facilities, lift of existing soil material for order to determine the quality and two samples were taken for analysis phl EC SAR Texture Several soil depth measurements will be made to determine a soil thick- ness to be removed from the planned location of the support facilities. The Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Division has proposed that only one lift of soil be taken because of the duration of which the stock- piled soil must remain until mining is completed and the fact that no major subsurface disturbance will occur in the location of surface support facilities. Analysis of Roof and Floor Samples In order to predict the potential of any acid-forming or toxic-forming material in the roof and the floor of the "C" Coal Seam, two samples will be taken for analysis. Each sample will be analyzed for the following parameters: Texture Total Combustible Solids Nan-Combustible Solids pH Total Iron Manganese Sulfur Forms: Pyritic Sulfate Organic Total Sulfur Sodium Sulfate Electrical Conductivity Sodium Absorption Ratio Total Carbonate Arsenic Barium Boron Cadmium Chromium A ~ ~ tt>G.
