<br />reclamation grasses and fortis, excellent cover and productivity; reapplied topsoil; well
<br />drained; moderate permeability; no erosion at site; sampled October 11, 2007; soil
<br />samples for lab include 0-6" (reapplied topsoil), 6-12" (reapplied topsoil), 12-18" (mix of
<br />reapplied topsoil and overburden spoil, primarily in lower part of depth interval), and 18-
<br />40" and 40-64" (overburden spoil).
