Recommen e <br />RESPONSE: <br />March 1985, Peerless Resources, Inc. obtained three (3) samples at <br />locations around the Coal Gulch Mine. The sample locations are shown on <br />the revised Mine Facilities Map (Map 12). These samples were taken in <br />order to describe potential suitability of material as topsoil <br />substitute suitable for plant growth medium. The results of these <br />analyses are set forth in Table 5A, Plant Growth Medium Samples. <br />Overall, the samples indicate the general suitability of the soil <br />material for plant growth medium. Peerless Resources, Inc. will utilize <br />this material for soil material following mining activities. It is <br />estimated from the soil stockpiles shown on the Mine Facilities Map (Map <br />12) that there is sufficient soil material to spread approximately 6-12 <br />inches over the affected area. <br />-31- <br />
