• In sunnary, the soils occurring in the proposed lease area that <br />will be impacted by surface disturbance generally have a good <br />reclamation potential. <br />Tile Cryorthents soils contain the major limiting factors for <br />reclai.aation. 'l;~ese soils are low in fertility, are thin, have <br />a low .rater-holding capacity and are subject to severe erosion <br />due to slope and wind; by applying established methods of slope <br />contouring, fertilization for prompt reestablishment of vegetation <br />and snow fencing to reduce the impact of wind on the ground surface <br />and to trap snow to provide more soil moisture, these factors can <br />be sufficiently reduced so that site would have the potential for <br />satisfactory reclamation. <br />F. V,ater Resources <br />• 1. Ground S,Tater - USGS is in the process of establishing ground water <br /> monitoring in conjunction with the McCallum EMRIA Study, but to date <br /> has gathered insufficient data to accurately predict the ground <br />water situation on the site. USGS was able to supply general in- <br />formation based on core drilling done for the McCallum Open File <br />Report. The water level may vary between 20 and 80 feet below <br />= the surface. The most productive sands or aquifer is located.-; <br />100 to 200 feet below surface. The transmissivity; or amount of <br />water flowing through the aquifer, is estimated to be 300 gallons <br />per day per foot of width. The rate of water movement through <br />the aquifer varies from .O1 to 1.0 foot per day. k'ater quality <br />should meet state and federal standards. The ph of the water <br />ran3es from 6.8 to 7.4. <br />• 2. Scrface !:'ater - Detailed information on the surface water is also <br />17 ~ <br /> <br />
