• Vegetation was removed before stockpiling topsoil. Any woody material 1 <br />such as found along the haul road route was removed before stock- <br />piling. No overburden, waste material, or spoil has been mixed with or <br />substituted for any stockpiled surface soils. <br />Although several soil types were disturbed, the soils varied mainly in <br />thickness of the surface horizon. They are otherwise similar in tex- <br />ture and origin; therefore, special segregation of soils by type or <br />horizon has not been necessary. (See Section 3.8, Soils Resource <br />Information, for a more comprehensive disucssion of this matter.) <br />Location of Topsoil and Fill Stockpiles <br />Table 4.4.3-3 lists the identity, location and volume of all permanent <br />topsoil stockpiles at the loadout site. The location of these stock- <br />piles are shown on Drawings D-2-2 and D-2-3. <br />• Table 4.4.3-4 lists the identity and location of all fill stockpiles <br />at the loadout site. These locations are also shown on the above- <br />mentioned drawings. The exact volume of fill in these stockpiles has <br />not yet been fixed due to the continuing distribution of this material <br />during construction. <br />Fill pile "C", located beside the conveyor corridor, is composed pri- <br />marily of rocks removed during construction of the conveyor. The seed <br />mixture for fill pile reclamation is specified in Permit No. 77-313. <br />Stabilization and Protection of Topsoil Stockpiles <br />All topsoil stockpiles have been hydromulched and seeded to ensure <br />their continued stability and viability as growth media. In the <br />spring of 1981, the stockpiles were reshaped, fertilized and planted <br />to conform to the interim reclamation plan configuration. <br /> <br />4-81 <br />
