'Typically, the surface layer is reddish brown clay loam about 9 inches thick. The upper <br />part of the subsoil is reddish brown clay loam about 5 inches thick, the next part is reddish <br />brown clay about 20 inches thick, and the lower part is reddish brown clay loam about 23 <br />inches thick. The substratum is yellowish red clay loam~that extends to a depth of 60 <br />inches or more. <br />Included in this unit are about 10 percent Corta loam, 5 percent soils that are similar to this <br />Falfa soils but have a dazk-colored surface layer, and small areas of Witt loam and <br />Simpatico loam. <br />Permeability of this Falfa soil is slow. Effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more. <br />Available wafer capacity is hiSh. Runoff is medium; and the hazard or erosion is <br />moderate. <br />A typical .pedon of this Falfa Series, a soil typically found in the Ustollic Haplazgids/ These <br />deep, well drained soils formed in the calcareous loess. 'they are on mesa tops. Slope is <br />one to eight percent. <br />IvII, This deep, well drained soil is on alluvial fans and in foothitl valleys. It formed in medium <br />textured alluvium. Typically, the surface layer is pale brown loam about 9 inches thick. <br />The underlying material is grayish brown and pale brown loam that extends to a depth of <br />60 inches or more. In some places the surface layer is sandy loam. <br />The previous salvage of the soils produced far less than the expect amounts. Currently (Spring of <br />2003) a 5,684 CY stockpile of soil exists. This topsoil was collected from the 23.10 acres of <br />disturbed area. This lower rate of salvage is expected for the remainder of the mining. Both the <br />lack of soil produced from previous mining and low yield of topsoil salvage in the new mining <br />will be remediated through the blending of topsoil and fines. The fines aze produced through the <br />crushing and screening process. The topsoil blend will be applied with a minimum thickness of 6" <br />through the disturbed mining area. <br />Cugnini 12103 32 <br />
