Subject: Re: Moving topsoil to mine clay below and then replacing topsoil



20 acres all at once or 20 acres over time? Used to be involved in Clay mining, lot's of plastics clays mined around here. Dad was heavily involved for a long time. Reclamation is what it is. We took the top 6 feet off like it came off, and put it back, thing is, you end up with a lake at the end if you are trying to maintain the same elevations. Lot's of lakes around here are old clay pits. Lot's of ground is reclaimed clay pits, but most of it is grass. Some of the last we did grows decent crops.
