sites are to be located within the proposed mining and haul road corridor <br />disturbance areas. <br />• <br />• Provide productivity information (SCS Forth 5s) for each soil type. <br />• Provide to PWCC engineering personnel site-specific soils information (K factors, <br />hydrologic groups, plasticity, and compatibility information) that will be used to <br />design and size ponds, ditches, culverts, roads, and embankments. <br />• Determine soil salvage depths for each soil type based upon site-specific soil <br />suitability data, recent literature, regional information, and intended postmine land <br />use. The projected salvage thickness will be developed in consultation with <br />PWCC. <br />• PWCC will estimate the volume of soil that will be salvaged for reclamation <br />purposes. PWCC will also determine whether soil is available in adequate <br />quantity and quality for use in reclamation. <br />This report presents all field and laboratory methodology used in the study as well as: <br />• Soil maps delineating all soil mapping units • <br />• Mapping unit descriptions <br />• Soil series descriptions <br />• Physical and chemical data <br />• Recommended soil salvage depths for each soil series and series variant, and soil <br />mapping unit, within the projected disturbance area, and <br />• Prime farmland assessment <br />• <br />2 <br />
