8.2 Topsoil Storage Prime Farmland - WFC Property <br />An area (4.76 acres) of 98A soils in the northwest corner of the WFC property west of 2700 <br />Road has been identified as prime farmland soils. The construction of the Pond 013 led to the <br />distrurbance of 3.96 acres of this area. The disturbance is a mix of Pond 013 itself, the prime <br />farmland soil stockpile, and areas that are within the disturbance boundary but not excavated. <br />The determination of prime farmland soils was made in 2008, after Pond 013 had been <br />constructed. Therefore, the prime farmland soils were all salvaged in a single lift. The prime <br />farmland soils are stockpiled in stockpile #3 and #4. These stockpiles total 14,730 cubic yards. <br />These stockpiles can be seen on Map 2.05.4 -7 and Map 2.05.4 -9. They can also be found <br />listed in Table 2.05.4(2)(d) -2A. <br />Since Pond 013 will be in place well after the surrounding land has been reclaimed, the prime <br />farmland will be reclaimed as a new 3.96 acre area of Irrigated Cropland post -mine land use <br />can be found in Section 2.05.4(2)(e).The 3.96 acres of Irrigated Cropland will be a combination <br />of 1.13 acres of prime farmland soils that stockpile #4 was placed on, and 2.83 acres of prime <br />farmland constructed from stockpiled Pond 013 topsoil. Map 2.05.4 -8 shows the layout of this <br />area and its surroundings for reference. <br />Revised September 2010 (PR 06) 2.05.4(2)(d) -17 <br />
