Permit Application #CO-037-81. #8, #9 Enclosed (please find one copy each of the following tables, maps and a letter issued to from USOAService Center, March 30, average depth of soil salvage for e the related soil sample information and the description of these tables follows: ~ Table 2.05.4 Insi'tu Topsoil/Subsoil GEC Minerals, Inc. 1983 providing the 3ch soil type, and in GEC's North Area, are described as Numerous soil samples were taken by the Soil Conservation Service early 1983 to determine the topsoil suitability for soils within the North Area where GEC Minerals, Inc. plans to mine by 1984. The results of these samples are shown in the attached Soil Sample In- formation, whichindicates that three types of soils are present in the North Area. The Tecolote and the Pojoaque Variant-Sedillo Complex soils both are very poor source of topsoil due mainly to the very thin sur~iface layer and the large stones and fragmented material on the surface and in the subsoil. Therefore, an average of 2 inches was used to evaluate the volume for the "North Area". The only available soils for saving as a suitable plant medium would be the Sata~nta Series, which was recommended by the SCS, and an average depth 'of 30 inches was used to develop the volume for topsoil/subsoil mass balance. Table 2.05.4 also stated the volumes
