<br />individual Curve Numbers and k factors <br />for the soil types in the watershed by the <br />proportion of the watershed occupied by <br />each type. <br />For the post-mining analysis, soil parame- <br />ter (Curve Numbers, k factors, and type <br />distributions) were determined. Weighted <br />factors were determined as descnbed <br />above. These weighted factors were used <br />because all the soil types were assumed to <br />be mixed during replacement. <br />Ground cover data from the 1991 vegeta- <br />tion survey were used to determine the <br />post-mining CP factor, Table 2. A statisti- <br />cal analysis was performed on the refer- <br />ence areas for season variation between a <br />wet and normal precipitation yeaz. No <br />• statistical differences were found be- <br />tween the <br />• <br />Mahodr <br />two seasonal periods, therefor no adjust- <br />ments were required for the comparison. <br />During a review of the premising vegeta- <br />tion survey, it was determined that ground <br />liter was not included in this survey. For <br />this sediment analysis, the ground liter <br />form the 1991 reference area was added <br />to the premising vegetation cover data. <br />Therefor this analysis includes vegetation, <br />mulch, rock and soil for both pre and <br />post-mining conditions. <br />The sedimentology portion of the analysis <br />can be run using one of three sedimento- <br />logy evaluation routines. Kaiser elected to <br />use the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equa- <br />tion (RUBLE). Selection of the RUBLE <br />was based on the variety of slopes present <br />on the site. <br />6 <br />:. . a ep~ .._.... <br />
