Additional field work was conducted for the affected area <br />to portray the distribution of historic mine-related disturbances. Figure <br />B included herein is a 1" = 400' soils and vegetation map of the subject <br />area. The mapping units portrayed on the Figure B map are given as <br />follows: <br />Symbol Map Unit <br />5 Argiustoll-Rock outcrop complex <br />9 Baller-Rock outcrop complex <br />ro Rock outcrop, sedimentary <br />mr Historic mine disturbance -- <br />no or minimal native soil <br />present. <br />Most of the area to be redisturbed is mapped as historic mine <br />disturbance; native soils around the historic disturbance are primarily the <br />Baller-Rock outcrop complex. Descriptions of the mapping units for the <br />soil types illustrated are included herein following Figure B. Afield <br />inspection of the area revealed that rock outcrops occupy a significant <br />amount of the area and topsoil is very discontinuous. What soil does occur <br />is generally in areas too steep to safely recover. The information <br />provided herein is therefore used primarily to evaluate the physical <br />characteristics of the soils present. <br />
