ERO Resources <br />• <br />I. SOIL A~~-•ENT <br />10. INTNODLI[_:T ION <br />A supplemental soil survey was conduoted on and adjacetrt to the 8 Portal <br />area in the south half of Section 4, Township 2N, Range lO1N. F uld work <br />was conducted in June, 1981 on approximately 250 acres. This survey <br />provides mor• detailed mapping, sampling and description of soils on a <br />small portion of the entire permit area. This baseline information <br />provides the necessary data to formulate a sound program of topsoil <br />removal, replacement and revegetation in the vicinity of the B Portal. <br />The supplemental soil survey is intended to augment the data base <br />generated for the larger permit area. The objectives, general <br />desoriptiona and methods used are identical to those found in the Soil <br />Assessment, Section II.I of the Mine Permit Application. The reader <br />should refer to Section II.I for detailed information on the scopes of <br />work. The results are reported in a similar manner to the previous soil <br />• survey but are site-specific to the B Portal area. Applicable soil series <br />and mapping units of the Soil Assessment have been extracted and included <br />in this report for convenience. <br />• <br />One new soil series, the Boettcher series, was found in the B Portal <br />area. This soil series and associated mapping unit were not included in <br />the original soil assessment since it comprised a minor inclusion in the <br />larger mapping units previously assigned to the area. <br />II.I-1 <br />
