• SOIL RECOVERY, STORAGE AND SAMPLING
Projections show that at the end of 2002 approximately 134 acres will have been affected by
mining related disturbance. Allowing for 22 acres planned to remain as permanent facilities;
approximately 111 acres will require soil for reclamation, recovered from either live-
handling, storage or borrow areas. Placed to an average depth of 8 inches, this totals about
128,000 cubic yards of soil. Table 2.05.4-1a Soil Recovery and Storage, List the amounts
of soil expected to have been constructively placed (live-handled), stored iu stockpiles or
projected to be recovered from borrow areas and live-handled from areas above adjacent
backfilled and graded highwalls.

Numerous soil samples will be collected as part of the reclamation process. Representative
samples of stockpiled soils will be subjected to physical and chemical analyses as required by
sections 4.06.2(4) and 4.06.5 of the regulations. Nutrients or other soil amendments will be
applied to soil and overburden materials to be used in reclamation if testing indicates
deficiencies.
Sampling of replaced soils will take place prior to placement or within one year of
reclamation. Samples from soil and subsoil or substrate will be collected al depths from 0-8
inches and 8-24 inches (or to contact with existing strata or rock debris). Samples will be
collected on 500 foot centers throughout reclaimed areas. Where sample uniformity is
evident, individual samples may be combined to form a composite sample to be submitted
for analysis. Composite samples shall be from contiguous areas not exceeding five acres.
Analysis of the physical and chemical parameters listed in Section 4.06.2(4) of the
regulations will be conducted. A two foot veneer of low SAR (sodium adsorption ratio)
growth medium will be spread over any areas where the SAIZ exceeds 15.
Locations already sampled are shown on Map 2A5.4-1 Soil Sample Location and Soil
Distribution Plan. Two methods of sample collection were utilized. Where soil material
had already been spread, a topsoil sample was collected representative of that soil horizon.
Subsoil or base material was then collected from the contact with the soil horizon to a depth
• of two feet or to the depth of rocky debris. Where soil has been live handled but not spread,
