' was salvaged from former workings. A site specific soils evaluation was
conducted on the new areas to be disturbed for the purposes of determining
' available topsoil stripping thicknesses. Exposures in the existing pit and
other various loc ations, including an open pipeline trench, on site were
' examined as well as attempts to excavate random sha llow pits to examine the
' soil profile.However, frozen ground prevented completion of excavations.
Additional information was obtained from the U.S.D.A Soil Conservation
' Service (SCS). The soil types for this site have been mapped by soil
scientists of the SCS in an as yet unpublished document. Descriptions of
' the soil types present follow.
' The soil mapping units that occur on the area to be disturbed are
classified as the Sycle sandy loam and the Pescar sandy loam. The Sycle
' soil is distributed over most of the area to be affected. The Pescar soil
is present only along the extreme westerly side of the affected area. The
' remainder of the affected area has been denuded of soils by previous gravel
operations. A soils map (Figure I-1) which illustrates the soil mapping
'
units within the proposed permit area, follows the descriptions of the soil
' units below.
The Sycle sandy loam is a well drained soil that has formed along
' gently sloping terraces of major drainages in alluvium overlying river
deposited cobble and gravel. In the proposed permit area, the surface

slopes from about one to three percent. Typically, the topsoil layer is a
brown fine sandy loam about 10 inches thick. The subsoil is a reddish
brown sandy clay loam about 12 inches thick that may contain a considerable
