~ ~ • ~ • -2- Soil material will be left in a rough condition until final seedbed preparation occurs. Leaving the material in a rough condition will aid in reducing erosion potential on reclaimed areas. Tracks left by scrappers will also aid in reducing erosion by slowing overland flow thereby reducing surface water velocities. Final seedbed preparation calls for all sites to be chisel plowed and the establishment of contour furrows. Chisel plowing will aid in relieving compaction and increasing water infiltration. Establishment of contour furrows will reduce surface water flow velocities and decrease the potential for erosion. Soil amendments will be applied as required. Implementation of these measures should provide for an effective, adequate seedbed. Findings - Soils - Rules 2.04.9, 2.05.3(5), 2.05.4(2)(d), and 4.06 Baseline soils information is found in Vol. 1 Section 2.04 pg. 63-69 of the permit application. Additional information is found in Vol. 2, tables 34-42, Vol. 3, exhibits 7 and 8, and soils map No. 19. Soil mapping and physical descriptions of soils encountered in the permit area are based on SCS soil surveys for the area. Site specific chemical analysis were performed by sampling existing topsoil stockpiles. Given that the site has already been disturbed, topsoil stockpiled, and the only new disturbance comprises less than l~ (5 acres) of the disturbed area, information provided by the applicant is adequate. The applicant's topsoil stabilization and redistribution plan is found in Vol. 1, Section 2.05, pg. 44 and pg. 67-75. Topsoiling sequences are illustrated on Map 15a topsoil redistribution. (See operation plan for detailed discussion of topsoil redistribution and stabilization practices.) Information provided by the applicant is adequate. The applicant has provided sufficient information to be found in compliance with the above cited Rules and Regulations. /th Doc. No. 1270
