Shelton <br />Director <br />June 22, 1981 <br />TO: Brian Munso <br />, <br />FROM: Jim Rerro ~r~ ~ ~ ~ <br />SUBJECT: McGlone Cany Soils / <br />I found three questions in your review letter on soils (questions 3,4, <br />and 5 under 2.05-4(2)(c)). I checked for responses to the above <br />questions plus looked over the whole soils section. Zn yeneral, I <br />think Sheridan Enterprises did a good job on soils. <br />The following are what d found as to answers to your PAR questions: <br />1. Question 3 2.05.4(2)(c) <br />On Pages 2-22 and 3-5, Sheridan Enterprises states that Z2-18 inches of <br />topsoil will be stripped from the sediment pond area and stockpiled. Also, <br />vegetation will be stripped prior to topsoil salvage. <br />2. Question 4 <br />S couldn't understand what question 9 was asking. It appears to me <br />that 12-18 inches of topsoil will be salvaged, then the additional material <br />stripped will be utilized to construct the pond embankments. <br />3. Question 5 <br />On page 3-11, Sheridan Enterprises has stated that the soil will be <br />tested and appropriated fertilizers added the year after seeding and planting. <br />My recommendation is that they test the soil prior to seeding so, if <br />phosphorus is Zow this can be added and incorporated prior to seeding since <br />phosphorus is relatively immobile in the soil. Nitrogen and Potassium <br />fertilization could be done, according to the soil test, the~year foYlowing <br />seeding. <br />mob <br />
