• and by Peabody Cbal O~any (Tab 9, F~ibit 9-1) . Suitable <br />topsoil types have been identified as d;c~,~ccrt i.n Tab 9, <br />Attaclmpnt 9-4, Topsoil Balance and Attarlmient 9-7, Topsoil <br />FIandlirg Plan - Fast Wadge F~ctension Area. Fx;Gting topsoil <br />stockpiles aryl in-place topsoil prior to mining have been <br />inventoried. Before topsoil is removed, vegetation which is <br />too large for incorporation into the topsoil (see the Shivb <br />Incorporation Map of Tab 10, Seneca Mine Vegetation Baseline <br />Study) is scraped away aryl ocmibined with the overburden. ~e <br />remai*+;ng vegetation is incorporated into the topsoil in order <br />to help increase soil organic matter. As seen in Tab 9, <br />AttacYmients 9-1, 9-4, aryl 9-7, suitable topsoil will be <br />salvaged for direct replaoemPnt on regraded spoils or <br />tenq~or'arily stored in designated topsoil stockpiles. <br />Topsoil will be re~mved by using scrapers. A dozer will also <br />be used when needed to assist scraper loading, to facilitate <br />• m»r;nnim topsoil r'ecovely, and to help build and shape topsoil <br />stockpiles. <br />Many factors enter into topsoil salvagir-g: accessibility, <br />weather conditions, steepness of slope, ground cotditions, and <br />most important of all operator safety.
