<br />According to Table 95a and the Soil Prof'_le Descrip- <br />tions, the 3 and/or C horizons will not be segregated <br />from A horizons for the following soils: <br />So ii <br />Aaberg silty clay <br />Aaberg - '~iayme complex <br />Abor silty clay loam <br />' Binco silty clay loam <br />Buckskin loam <br />Buckley silty clay loam <br />~ta~ Unit <br />35 r' <br />:; 4 F <br />4 C <br />C 10, D 10, F 10 <br />2 C, 2 E <br />10 E, lOF <br />The remaining soils will either have the A and B <br />horizons segregated or where Che A horizon exceeds <br />18 inches, no subsoil will be salvaged. <br />Topsoil will be removed to approximatei•~ a 6-inch <br />depth from °_nergy Mine No. 1 (Section 780.18(b), p. <br />780.111). Subsoil removal will include all material <br />below the 6-inch depth extending to the appropriate <br />depth for each soil series referenced on the topsoil <br />removal map. Since this map does not re`erence <br />depth of subsoil for each soil series, <br />this reference is to Map 30, energy ~:ines ?lo. 1 and 2 <br />soils maps. <br />Prior to reapplication of topsoil and subsoil, the <br />spoil will be graded a1onG the contour as described <br />in Section 780.18(b), pp.780=116. Total soil depth <br />after redistribution will approximate two feet <br />(780.18(b), pp.780-139(h)). Soil will be redistribut- <br />ed with scrapers. <br />Soil sampling and testing (Section 816.25,pp,816-19) <br />will be done following topsoil replacement to deter- <br />mine the nutrient status of the plant growth medium <br />in light of the postmining land use and revegetation <br />requirements of Section 816.111 - 816.117. <br />Stockpiles will be protected from wind and water <br />erosion (Section 780.18(b), 780-115(a)) by mulching <br />with cereal grains. The cereal grain that will be <br />planted is wintergraze. Wintergraze (Agrotricum) is <br />a sterile hybrid that is used to provide temporary <br />vegetation cover. Ditches will be placed around <br />all stockpiles to prevent the accumulation of <br />water on the stockpile site. <br />
