Anzone fi600t <br />f602) 774-5253 <br />~~~.r~i ~~~Y <br />JUL 101989 <br />RECLgMAT OtJ J vlS17IV <br />Peabody Coal Company intends to initiate the baseline soil <br />survey study at the Yoasi area by August 1, 1989. Peabody <br />requests the Division to review the scope of work that <br />will be used to complete the baseline soil survey. <br />The Yoast area, comprising about 1,700 acres, is located <br />about 4.5 miles southwest of Seneca II Mine and 3 miles <br />east of the Seneca II-W permit area. The proposed study <br />area for Yoast is outlined on the enclosed 1" = 2000' <br />scale topographic base map. <br />The soil baseline study for the Yoast area will be <br />conducted according to the Objectives and Methodology <br />described in the Soil Baseline Study Report completed for <br />the East Wadge Extension area at Seneca II Mine. This <br />information is presented in PAP C-80-005, Volume 7, Tab 9, <br />Attachment 9-6, pages 9-6-4, 9-6-5, and 9-6-7 through <br />9-6-16. <br />All soil taxonomic units appearing in the soil survey <br />legend will be described and characterized. The number of <br />samples per taxonomic unit will adequately characterize <br />each map unit and shall be based on the complexity and <br />variability of soils within the study area. The following <br />sampling intensity guideline will be used: <br />Percent of Size of No. of <br />Study Area Area !acres) Samples <br /><10% <25 <br />10-25% 25-100 <br />25-50% 101-500 <br />50-100% > 500 <br />
