to ensure that the high coarse fragment materials from the lower Bench 1 zone are not placed at the <br />surface as Bench 1 soil substitute on the Morgan East, or that mixing during operations is sufficient to <br />ensure that surface materials will meet the coarse fragment criteria. Thicker sandstone lenses that <br />occur higher in the Bench 1 overburden, or in the material salvaged as Lift B soil, should be segregated <br />and spoiled, to the extent practicable. <br />Sample #1 <br />This was an approximate 2 foot channel sample from the lower portion of the exposed Lift B soil, on the <br />Morgan prime farmland in advance of the south end of the pit. Unconsolidated pink colored sandy <br />material. pH=7.7; EC=1.6 mmhos/cm; Estimated Texture=Loamy Sand. <br />Sample #2 <br />This was a surface grab sample taken from the surface of the exposed upper Bench 1 overburden, on <br />the Morgan prime farmland approximately 40 yards north of the south end of the pit. Unconsolidated <br />tan colored sandy material. pH=7.6; EC=2.1; Estimated Texture=Loamy Sand. <br />Sample #3 <br />This was a surface grab sample taken from the surface of the exposed upper Bench 1 overburden, on <br />the Morgan prime farmland approximately 150 yards south of the "BB" road corridor. Unconsolidated <br />tan-colored sandy material (somewhat lighter tan color than #2). pH=7.6; EC=3.4; Estimated <br />Texture=Sandy Loam. <br />Sample #4 <br />Approximate 2' channel sample from lower Bench 1 overburden exposure, 3-5' above the base of Bench <br />1(crumbly, thinly bedded tan/gray SS/Shale strata ). Location approximately mid-way between the <br />south end of the pit and the "BB" Road corridor. pH=7.5; EC=3.1; Estimated Texture=Sandy Loam. Lab <br />report noted that more than 50916 of the sample was coarse fragments, larger than 2mm. <br />Sample #5 <br />Tan clayey subsoil from bottom 12" section of "soil island" left intact following salvage on the non-prime <br />WFC (former Johnson) property. pH=7.8; EC=0.8; Estimated Texture= Clay Loam. <br />Sample #6 <br />Light tan clayey material from surface of exposed Bench 1 overburden adjacent to the soil island from <br />which Sample #5 was taken. Material slightly lighter color than #5 subsoil, but quite similar in <br />appearance (and in chemical and physical parameters analyzed). pH=7.9; EC=0.7; Estimated <br />Texture=Clay Loam.
