Wh'C has stripped all suitab.e topsoil as shown. in L1xhibit 1. in fact, <br />all extra topsoil was stripped in ant.icpatio of a shortfall. The soil map in <br />the permit (same as Exhibit 1) shows depths of 0.8', 1.2', 2.4', and 9.3'. <br />W):C experienced a c~:~tinual decrease of topsoil thickness as removal <br />proceeded north. B,y the time County I{oad 5 was reached, topsoil type <br />D70B diminishes .,0 2 feet and the o?:her ty;~es to a few inches. WFC <br />believes the shortage of topsoil is due to incorrect soil mapping. <br />The areas in nuestion were shown to ,ycru during the August and September <br />inspections. WFC and DMG will need to work together when the effected <br />area is ready to be reclaimed. If you have any questions, please call. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~ <br />Ross L.
