Soil Information for All Uses <br />Soil Reports <br />The Soil Reports section includes various formatted tabular and narrative reports <br />(tables) containing data for each selected soil map unit and each component of each <br />unit. No aggregation of data has occurred as is done in reports in the Soil Properties <br />and Qualities and Suitabilities and Limitations sections. <br />The reports contain soil interpretive information as well as basic soil properties and <br />qualities. A description of each report (table) is included. <br />Construction Materials <br />This folder contains a collection of tabular reports that present soil interpretations <br />related to sources of construction materials. The reports (tables) include all selected <br />map units and components for each map unit, limiting features and interpretive ratings. <br />Construction materials interpretations are tools designed to provide guidance to users <br />in selecting a site for potential source of various materials. Individual soils or groups <br />of soils may be selected as a potential source because they are close at hand, are the <br />only source available, or they meets some or all of the physical or chemical properties <br />required for the intended application. Example interpretations include roadfill, sand <br />and gravel, topsoil and reclamation material. <br />Source of Reclamation Material, Roadfill, and Topsoil <br />(Buckien Pit 11/2012) <br />This table gives information about the soils as potential sources of reclamation <br />material, roadfill, and topsoil. Normal compaction, minor processing, and other <br />standard construction practices are assumed. <br />The soils are rated good, fair, or poor as potential sources of reclamation material, <br />roadfill, and topsoil. The features that limit the soils as sources of these materials are <br />specified in the table. Numerical ratings between 0.00 and 0.99 are given after the <br />specified features. These numbers indicate the degree to which the features limit the <br />soils as sources of topsoil, reclamation material, or roadfill. The lower the number, the <br />greater the limitation. <br />Reclamation material is used in areas that have been drastically disturbed by surface <br />mining or similar activities. When these areas are reclaimed, layers of soil material or <br />unconsolidated geological material, or both, are replaced in a vertical sequence. The <br />18 <br />
