• soil information on properties located north of BB Road. The geology and geomorphology are <br />similar to that located in the original 1988 survey. <br />Methodology <br />Tasks performed to accomplish project objectives included: <br />• review of existing soils information <br />• detailed field mapping of soils <br />• soil sampling and profile description <br />• evaluation of soils for reclamation potential <br />The methodology used during the soil surveys followed standard techniques and procedures ofthe <br />National Cooperative Soil Survey. <br />In connection with the 1988, 1996, and 1998 studies, samples were collected in the field and <br />analyzed in the laboratory in accordance with CDMG-approved procedures for topsoil analyses as <br />• outlined in Table 2.04.9-1. The information presented in Table 2.04.9-1 is a synthesis of material <br />from the approved scope-of-work, InterMountain Laboratories (IML's) and Colorado State University <br />Soil Lab standard procedures for soil analysis. Sample site locations were selected to most <br />accurately represent the sampled soil series and to provide for adequate sample site distribution <br />across the projected disturbance areas. Transition zones between map units, road edges, fence <br />rows, or previously disturbed areas were avoided. Representative profiles were selected on the <br />basis of medial characteristics for physical and chemical soil characteristics, parent material, <br />landscape position, and vegetation. The major soil horizons (A, E, B, and C) were separately <br />described, sampled, and analyzed. Portions of paralithic material (Cr), if present, were also <br />described, sampled, and analyzed for characterization purposes and possible subsequent use as <br />a topsoil substitute if needed. <br />Surface and subsoil horizons (A and B horizons) were sampled to represent no greater than about <br />six inches of soil material per sample. Sub-horizons (61, B2, etc.), greater than three inches within <br />any major horizon, were separately sampled and analyzed. In the substratum (C horizon), natural <br />• <br />(Revised March 2006) 2.(14.9-8 <br />
