To determine maximum salvage depths, attempts were made to sample • <br />the Ra[ibo and Midnight series to a depth of 60 inches. The Rambo series <br />was evaluated at the same locations as previously reported (SS, ES, WS and <br />NS). The 55 site was originally thought to be frozen below 6 inches. <br />Verification sampling revealed bedrock. The ES site contained hard <br />unweathered shale below 24 inches. The WS site contained sandstone/shale <br />bedrock belay 16 inches as originally reported. Goal was again encountered <br />at the ND site. In addition to these samples, a sample was taken fmn a 0 <br />to 6 inch increment at the bottom of a 7 to 10 foot pit in the Noden <br />Series. The results of this analysis are shown on Table 15, Soil Analysis <br />Results, the location is shown on Map 9, Soils and in Ekhibit 14, Soils <br />Information. Additional sampling was conducted on April 20, 1984 at <br />stations MN, MM-N, AL and Bottom. Sampling locations and results are <br />presented in FSchibit 14, Soils Information. These samples were called to <br />verify those collected in January 1984. From these samples, it does not <br />appear that salvagable material is available below a depth of 24 inches. <br />Twenty four inches was the maximum depth in the Midnight series. <br />Four locations were sampled on April 20, 1984 to determine this; however, <br />bedrock was encountered at less than 20 inches, at a number of locations. <br />No samples in the Midnight series showed any signs of chemical <br />unsuitability. Salvage from the RDA is limited by steep slopes, high <br />percentage of coarse fragments, and rock outcrops; thecefore, at this time <br />WFC estimates that between 6 to 12 inches is recoverable. The maximum <br />recoverable depth will not be determined until salvage operations are <br />initiated and the most cost effective methods are selected for this <br />recovery. <br />In response to Stipulation 19, WFC conducted additional sampling <br />of the surface disturbance area on July 11, 1986 and December, 1986. These <br />sampling locations are shown on Map 9, Soils; and Table 17, Results of Soil <br />Analysis for Surface Disturbance Area, are the results of these analyses. <br />2.04-40 <br />
