in Tab 21 (Minesoil Reconstruction) since these three sample sites do not occur within the <br /> projected disturbance area. PCL also had slightly higher saturation percentage values. <br /> A loss on ignititon (Total Organic Carbon-TOC) organic matter test was performed on upper <br /> horizons of all Haplaquolls for comparison with Walkley-Black method organic matter <br /> results. As expected, TOC values were higher than Walkley-Black although not high enough <br /> for the Haploquoll soils to meet criteria for inclusion in the Histosol soil order. <br /> Suitability of Soils for Topsoiling. An evaluation of each soil series and soil family's <br /> suitability as a topsoil resource is provided in Appendix 9-5-5, Evaluation of Topsoil <br /> Suitability. Each soil type was evaluated by individual sampled horizons for significant <br /> physical and chemical parameters presented previously in Table 9-5-2. The range of <br /> characteristics for each soil type (presented in Appendix 9-5-3) was also evaluated. A <br /> summary of restrictive features for each sampled pedon, as well as recommended first lift <br /> and second lift topsoil salvage depths for each sampled profile, is included. The volume <br /> of topsoil available for reclamation is presented in the Topsoil Management Plan section <br /> of Tab 21 (Minesoil Reconstruction). The topsoil handling plan for prime farmland soil is <br /> also presented in the Topsoil Management Plan section of Tab 21 (Minesoil Reconstruction). <br /> 9-5-28 Revised 08/19/88 <br />
