• <br />• <br />I • <br />Revised 04/20/90 <br />Section 816.22(d) Continued. <br />For three reasons the subsoil of the Fluetsch soil in Pit #1 will be <br />segregated and replaced as topsoil rather than subsoil. First, the <br />quantity of subsoil available from the area where the Fluetsch soil <br />occurs is small (4,900 cubic yards - see Table 58, Soil Removal <br />Volumes and Acres by Mine Plan years) and is the only subsoil to be <br />salvaged in all of the Pit #1 soil salvage plan (Six inches of <br />material will be stripped in the remainder of the Pit). Respreading <br />this small quantity of subsoil over the entire disturbed area in Pit <br />#1 would result in a depth of less than one inch, which is <br />impractical. Second, the quality of this subsoil is at least as good <br />as or better than the topsoil being salvaged from the Coalmont (X73) <br />and Cryorthent (X60) areas in Pit #1. Thirdly, the topsoil being <br />salvaged would actually be benefited by addition of this subsoil to <br />it due to the low clay percentage of the Fluetsch subsoil (36%) <br />compared to the Coalmont. Table 42, Soil Chemical and Physical <br />Properties Lab Analysis Kerr North Area contains data demonstrating <br />these properties. <br />816-14 bbbbbbb <br />
