84 <br /> RECU24MED TOPSOIL SALVAGE DEPTHS <br /> 9904-PERSAYO. Salvage depths for the east pit area soils (Sec- <br /> tion 31) will be identical to those recommended by Fly and <br /> Associates for the west pit area soils in Section 25 (see Tab 9, <br /> Table 2; Tab 9, AttacIrtent 1, Section II; and Stripping Isopach <br /> and Topsoil Stockpile Map, Exhibit 9-2) . Approximately four (4) <br /> inches of fair quality "A" horizon surface soil will be salvaged <br /> with two (2) inches of lower quality "C" horizon substratum mate- <br /> rial. The major limitations for the "A" horizon are the fine <br /> textures (sandy clay loan to clay loam) . The high coarse fragment <br /> content in the "C" horizon (this soil has a shallow paralithic <br /> contact with interbedded sandstones and shales) reduces its top- <br /> soil quality. <br /> 18--`I`ORRI0r<f=-ROCK COMPLEX. Surface soil accumulations are very <br /> sha.11<.xr to abscent on these steep to very steep south facing side- <br /> slopes. The topsoil suitability rating is poor or unsuitable due <br /> to severe limitations including high coarse fragment content, shal- <br /> low soil depth, very steep slope, fine texture, and hard consistence. <br /> This profile was not sampled because there will be no additional <br /> mine disturbance associated with this map unit. However, if dis- <br /> turbances were to occur, no topsoil salvage is recommended. <br /> CONCLUSION <br /> Similar types of mining disturbance will occur in Section 31, the <br /> East Pit Area, as do in the West Pit Area. All pit disturbance in <br /> Section 31 will occur during 1980 as designated in Exhibit 12-2. <br /> Highwall reduction and corresponding grading disturbances will <br /> terminate in 1981. <br /> These disturbances will all occur on Persayo soils. Prior to dis- <br /> turbance, six (6) inches of topsoil will be salvaged from these <br /> soils to be redistributed on regraded reclamation areas or tem- <br />
