N.D. Admin Code 69-05.2-08-10 - Permit applications - Permit area - Soil resources information
The applicant shall submit a soil survey for the permit area consisting of a map and report prepared by a soil classifier as defined in subsection 30 of North Dakota Century Code section 38-14.1-02.
1. The map must be at a 1:4,800 scale and
show:
a. The location and the vertical and
lateral (areal) extent of the suitable plant growth material (topsoil) within
the permit area that is considered best for topdressing the area to be
reclaimed. Suitable plant growth material considered best for topdressing is
the noncalcareous surface horizon material that is dark-colored due to organic
staining, has an electrical conductivity of less than two millimhos per
centimeter (EC x 103), a sodium adsorption ratio of
less than four (exchangeable sodium percentage of less than five) and an
organic matter percentage of one or more.
b. The location and the vertical and lateral
(areal) extent of the remaining suitable plant growth material (subsoil) within
the permit area, based on electrical conductivity of the saturation extract of
less than four millimhos per centimeter (EC x 103),
and sodium adsorption ratios of less than ten (exchangeable sodium percentage
of less than twelve).
c. The
location of any prime farmlands identified under section
69-05.2-08-09.
2. The report must contain:
a. The results of any chemical and physical
analyses made to determine the properties of the suitable plant growth
material. Textural analyses must be included for all samples taken.
b. The description, classification, and
interpretation for use of the soils and suitable plant growth material in the
permit area.
3.
Laboratory analyses must be made by the methods and procedures in United States
department of agriculture handbook 60, Diagnosis and Improvement of Saline and
Alkali Soils, by the United States salinity laboratory staff, United States
government printing office, Washington, D. C., or by other methods and
procedures approved in writing by the commission.
4. Prior to a soil classifier beginning work
on the required soil survey, a meeting of the soil classifier, the operator, if
the operator so desires, and the commission staff will be held for the purpose
of discussing proposed techniques, procedures for sampling and analyses, and
the area to be surveyed.
