• <br />SOILS REPORT <br />SNOYMASS COAL COMPANY <br />SEPTEMBER 23, 1987 <br />Twelve samples of soil taken from the Snowmass Coal Company's revegetation <br />were presented for analysis in September, 1987. The soils were air-dried and <br />ground to pass through a 1 mm sieve. A portion was withheld from the grinding process <br />for textural analysis. Some fragments of shale were present in several of the samples <br />and these fragments were removed from the samples for the textural analysis. The <br />remainder of each sample was subjected to accepted chemical and physical analyses. <br />FERTILITY RESULTS <br />The fertility of the soils is quite typical of most western Colorado soils <br />developed over or near marine shale formation. Where precipitation is adequate, <br />the soils will support varied and relatively abundant plant growth. However, nitrogen <br />and phosphorus levels are generally low. Potassium and cop <br />and iron, zinc and manganese levels are abundant. Table 1 <br />as written on the sample containers. The sample designated <br />fan site soil, is by far the most fertile. See table 2 for <br />results. The coal/soil sample, "X", is the least fertile. <br />will be found at the conclusion of this report. <br />SALINITY RESULTS <br />per levels are adequate <br />shows the sample descriptions <br />by "I", or the #1 mine <br />individual soil fertility <br />fertilizer recommendations <br />The salinities of the soil sample are in the medium to low ranges and reflect <br />a good drainage in the soils. The pH's of the soils are acceptable and are quite <br />common to the pH's of the soils of the area. Only one of the samples ("I") had <br />an acid pH. The sodium adsorption ratios indicate a low sodium hazard and infiltration <br />• of precipitation should not be hindered by excess sodium. See table 3 for specific <br />results. <br />
