complied with Dan's request plus we sampled all other potential substitute spoil <br />replacement sites that fell in the TR-57 Backwards Plan (Plan to address all <br />Morgan's property east of the pit at the time of the NRCS ruling of prime <br />farmland soil in February 2008). WFC gave Lambert and Associated the test <br />parameters as listed in Table 2.05.4(2)(d)-1 and requested that Lambert and <br />Associated provide a qualified person from their organization to come out and <br />collect the soil samples. Lambert did and Lambert or their contract lab perform <br />the test. Lambert and Associated appeared to correctly run all the tests except <br />for the components to determine the Course Fragment %. As far as giving the <br />wrong soil classification, Lambert has said to WFC that they can convert the data <br />to put it into USDA agronomic-based system of classification. <br />In conclusion, WFC feels that the Lambert Report of 1OMay1O does not warrant <br />a Notice of Violation since it was not presented in any ARR. Yes, the data will <br />be submitted in the 2010 ARR, but the 2010 ARR is not due at this time. Yes, <br />the Course Fragment % and soil classification are not correct, but WFC is taking <br />steps to gather and report the data as required in Table 2.05.4(2)(d)-1 of the <br />PAP. WFC is working with Lambert and Associates to see if their documents <br />can give the percentage of Cobble, Stone, Gravel and Boulders to determine <br />Course Fragment %. If Lambert does not have the data, then new backhoe pits <br />will be dug. Ed Baltzer from Walsh Environmental has been contacted and if <br />needed, which he will be, will come out and do the necessary field work to <br />satisfy Item 1, 2 and 3 of this violation. <br />Thank you for your time and consideration on this matter. If I can be of further <br />assistance, please call. <br />nubka leg <br />Chief Engineer <br />F:\Eng\DATA\WP\NOV -003\Response to nov-003 8july09 a.WP63-14
