Page Four <br />Preliminaxy Adequacy Review <br />GEX - Roadside 6 Cameo Mines <br />April 27, 1981 <br />2.09.9 Soils Resource Information <br />1. The applicant must submit analyses of samples from each of the topsoil <br />stockpiles. A list of required analyses for soils is attached. Also, a <br />discussion of the suitability of the material from each topsoil stockpile <br />as a plant growth medium based on the physical and chemical characteristics <br />must be included. <br />2. Additional analyses are required on the soil samples taken by the applicant. <br />Saturation percentage must be run on alI the samples, boron and selenium <br />must be run on those samples with a pH greater than 8. 5, and Sodium Calcium, <br />Magnesium, Sodium absorption ratio and percent organic matter must be run <br />on sample numbers SS-13 and SS-I4. <br />3. The applicant must give the sampling depth for each of the soils shown <br />to be analyzed in Appendix B. <br />9. The applicant must clarify whether topsoil stockpiles No. 1 and 2 are <br />subsoil stockpiles (B&C horizons) and will be replaced as subsoil or if they <br />are planned to be used as topsoil. <br />5. The applicant should provide typical profile descriptions of each soil <br />type within the area disturbed by surface operations. <br />2.04.10 Vegetation Information <br />1. The applicant must submit a plan for collection of baseline vegatation <br />information. This plan must include: <br />a. methods for collection of herbaceous cover and production and <br />woody plant density; <br />b. method to determine sampling adequacy; <br />c. reference area sizing and approximate locations; <br />d. methods to compare reference areas to adjacent undistrubed vegetation; <br />e. methods to determine species diversity; <br />f. a description of the measures proposed to determine revegetation <br />success. <br />The applicant is urged to contact the Division for further information on the <br />requirements for collection of baseline vegetation information. <br />2. The vegetation inventory must include a survey for threatened or endan- <br />gered species, and include a more specific description of each vegetation <br />type along with a map delineating the vegetation types by dominant species <br />rather than soil types. <br />
