21 ODNR-DSWR PipelineStandard_ Not mandatory requirements unless cited by other laws, rules or legal agreements. Users are encouraged to use them as guidance for development of plans, on site practices and implementation or for remediating problem areas.
22 Subsoil Definitions Subsoil is defined as the soil material that starts at the bottom of the topsoil to a depth of three feet. Exceptions to this are soils where fractured bedrock or hard bedrock is encountered before three feet.
23 Topsoil The upper most part of the soil commonly referred to as the plow layer, the A layer,or the A horizon, or its equivalent in uncultivated soils It is the surface layer of the soil that has the darkest color or the highest content of organic matter (as Identified in the USDA County Soil Survey and verified w/ right of way samples).
24 Topsoil is described as all surface and near surface soil horizons (layers) that have a moist Munsell color value of 4 and chroma of 3 or darker and a clay content increase of 10% or less between the individual horizons. On agricultural land at least the top eight inches will be considered topsoil. Horizons with up to a twenty five percent mixing of the subsoil into the topsoil by agricultural processes will still be considered topsoil.
25 In areas demonstrating substantial soil erosion, topsoil colors may be lighter than a moist Munsell color value of 4 and chroma 3. In these areas the top 8 inches will be considered topsoil. Surface horizons with a moist Munsell color value of 4 and chroma of 3 or darker in forested areas that have not been plowed are typically thinner. In these areas the top six inches will be considered topsoil. In areas where the above conditions do not apply, the top eight inches will be considered topsoil on agricultural land and the top six inches will be considered topsoil on forested land that has not been plowed.
26 D. Soil Removal and Protection 1. Topsoil and subsequent horizons shall be determined by a properly qualified inspector, soil scientist or soil technician who will set stakes or flags every 200 feet along the right of way identifying the depth of topsoil to be removed. Topsoil will be stripped to the actual depth of the topsoil, not to exceed 16 inches (see Figure 2).
27 Proposed Alternative: Use Soil Survey Maps Save Typical Stated Topsoil Depth, minus 2 inches Problems: Map Units may contain several Different Soil Components Named Component will have a range of Top Soil Depths Who wants to lose several thousands of years worth of Topsoil (Minus 2 Inches) after you ve spent your whole life trying to build it up???

32 Sensitive Agricultural Soils areas of cropland, hayland, or pasture that are more susceptible than other agricultural soils to construction disturbance due to slope, relative soil wetness, and/or shallowness to bedrock. Wetness conditions are the result of factors such as landscape position, soil texture, seasonal water table and/or slowly permeable subsoil horizons (e.g., areas of laterally draining subsoils). All sensitive agricultural soils including, but not limited to, those identified in the county soil survey as fragipans, lacustrine soils, dense basal tills, soils with a seasonally high water table, or soils with less than 5 feet of depth to bedrock are to be located and identified on the project map
33 Sensitive Agricultural Soils Dense Till: Hoytville, Nappanee, Blount, Pewamo, Glynwood, Bennington, Cardington, Mahoning, Etc Lacustrine: Paulding, Roselms, Latty, Fulton Fragipans: Wooster, Canfield, Wadsworth, Ravenna, Rittman Seasonally High Water Table: Hoytville, Nappanee, Blount, Pewamo, Glynwood, Bennington, Paulding, Roselms, Latty, Fulton, Mahoning, Trumbull, Wadsworth

37 Topsoil must be replaced so that after Settling occurs, the topsoil s original depth and contour is restored. In no instance, will the topsoil materials be used for any other purpose or removed from the right of way.
38 Minimum Cover Maintain a minimum of 60 inches of cover over the pipeline. Unless: Bedrock encountered ~ Minimum 36 inches Brushy and Wooded land not suitable for Cropland ~ Minimum 36 inches
39 Rocks The cover within the pipeline trench, bore pits, or other excavations shall not be backfilled with soil containing rocks of any greater concentration or size than existed prior to the pipeline construction.

79 Jay and Dave Brant Agree with Mike Plumer s Mix Substitute Sudan Grass for Millet and Mow once, 10 inches or higher
80 Allen Dean, Williams County Agrees with Mike Plumer s Mix Would stick with the Millet because of the Height of the Sudan Grass (8Feet) Would Add Sweet Clover in Nov
81 Your Land/Your Plan Use the ODNR Pipeline Standard as a Starting Point. (Add Cover Crops) Get a second opinion of Professionals (Major Surgery) Soil Scientists, Lawyers, Ditchers, Cover Crop Plan Ahead. Get the Details in Writing (Contract). Camp Out with a Dedicated Note Book (Phone Numbers), Tape Measure and Digital Camera (Who, What, Where and When. Record it all, Good and Bad)
82 Your Land/Your Plan Have an Alternate Inspector to back you up when you can t be there. Refer to the Plan. Make sure the Details Happen. Have a comparison plot adjacent to right of way keep yield records (OSU ~ Steve Culman). This will be a minimum 5 year and more likely a 7-10 Year Project.
