Mr.:Carl Mount <br />July 5, 1989 <br />Page Z <br />No samples will be collected from known unsuitable <br />(according to approved suitability criteria) soil types. <br />Field notes from these areas will be -sufficient to <br />document topsoil suitability. Thus, u ~ eeesfary data <br />would be eliminated and additional sampling effort could <br />be used to better define the variability of the suitable <br />soils. <br />Map verification transects will be used within <br />representative delineations of major map units that <br />contain significant salvageable topsoil. The transects <br />are beneficial for determining soil map unit composition, <br />range of characteristics, and topsoil depth variability. <br />Two minor sample analysis and suitability criteria changes <br />are recommended. The calcium carbonate analysis would only <br />be completed on samples that effervesce when subject to <br />10% HC1. Second, the suitability level for conductivity <br />of topsoil would be set at 0.0 to 8.0 mmhos/cm. <br />C Peabody requests the Division`s review, comments, and <br />approval of the soil baseline study scope of work for the <br />Yoast area prior to initiating field work on August 1, <br />1989. <br />Respectfully yours, <br />Gary W. Wendt <br />Senior <br />Environmental Scientist <br />kjs <br /> <br />1-2 <br />
