7. Soils and Geomorphology —1996 (PR -04) <br />The study area included the Garvey and Burbridge properties located within the original 1988 <br />survey. This survey updated map unit delineations and provided detailed topsoil salvage depths <br />for the above properties. <br />8. Soils and Geomorphology —1998 (PR -05) <br />The study area included the Morgan property located within the original 1988 surveyand additional <br />areas north of BB Road that were not surveyed in 1998. This survey updated map unit delineations <br />and provided detailed topsoil salvage depths on the Morgan property as well as detailed baseline <br />soil information on properties located north of BB Road. The geology and geomorphology are <br />similar to that located in the original 1988 survey. <br />9. Methodology <br />Tasks performed to accomplish project objectives included: <br />• review of existing soils information <br />• detailed field mapping of soils <br />• soil sampling and profile description <br />• evaluation of soils for reclamation potential <br />The methodology used during the soil surveys followed standard techniques and procedures of the <br />National Cooperative Soil Survey <br />In connection with the 1988, 1996, and 1998 studies, samples were collected in the field and <br />analyzed in the laboratory in accordance with CDMG- approved procedures for topsoil analyses as <br />outlined in Table 2.04.9 -1. The information presented in Table 2.04.9 -1 is a synthesis of material <br />from the approved scope -of -work, InterMountain Laboratories (IML's) and Colorado State University <br />Soil Lab standard procedures for soil analysis. Sample site locations were selected to most <br />accurately represent the sampled soil series and to provide for adequate sample site distribution <br />Revised September 2010 (PR 06) 2.04.9 -5 <br />
