ABSTRACT
This report describes soil profiles of the surface soils in mounds in two
areas located on the Test Range Complex, Nye County, Nevada. Both areas have
been the sites of aboveground nuclear safety tests. These areas are
contaminated with plutonium and are the object of investigations regarding the
movement of plutonium in the environment.
Most of the surface soils in the two plutonium-contaminated sites of the
Test Range Complex have gravelly texture and are typically classified as
gravelly sandy loam. Most of the land sampled is either floodplain or
alluvial fan with deep soils having well-developed profiles and platy or
subangular blocky structure.
In the areas sampled, the wind has a dominant influence on the surface
texture of the soil. It has moved the fine-textured soils around individual
plants or plant clumps, thus leaving the coarse soil particles in low areas
between the plants.
All of the soils are alkaline and range in pH from 7 to 9. The color of
the surface soil ranges from light gray to very pale brown dry and from brown
to dark grayish brown moist. Most of the soils are potentially agricultural
if water were available. The soil drainage is well to very well drained.
ii
-------
The vegetation is classified as high desert grass and shrubs. The grass
and shrubs are predominately winter fat (Eurotia lanata), fourwing saltbush
(Atriplex canescens), shadscale (Atriplex confertifolia), bud sagebrush
(Artemisia spinescens). galleta grass (Hilaria jamesii). and Indian ricegrass
(Oryzopsis hymenoides).
Domestic livestock prefer the above vegetation to any other that grows on
the desert range. Because a large portion of the land sampled could be
cultivated for crops or is potentially good winter range, these findings
should be considered in any '"cleanup" decision.

I. INTRODUCTION
In the early stages of the Nevada Applied Ecology Group (NAEG) soil
sampling program, a plutonium inventory was started for the various areas on
the Nevada Test Range Complex in which soil samples had been taken generally
in the open spaces between the desert plants.
It was recently established by Tamura (1975) that the plutonium activity
in soils at the Test Range Complex is associated with different soil particle
sizes of which the coarse silt fraction (53 to 20 micrometers) contained the
highest percentage of activity (about 65%). These particle sizes are readily
subjected to movement by wind and collect at the base of plants, developing
into hummocks around the desert vegetation.
Because it does get windy on the Test Range Complex, fine soil particles
can accumulate around the plant by wind action. Essington and Fowler (1976)
reported that plutonium had migrated even further down in the soil they
sampled in 1973 than it had in soil sampled from the same area 15 years
earlier. Therefore, the mounding of plutonium-contaminated soil and the
observed ability of plutonium to migrate to deeper layers of the soil with
time together pose a situation of greater exposure to the roots and probably a
higher uptake of plutonium by the plant.
-------
The information reported by Tamura (1975) and Essington and Fowler (1976)
points to the importance and necessity of a soil-mound sampling program.
Before such a program could be implemented, the soil mounds around the plants
needed to be characterized and their profiles described. The study reported
here was undertaken to describe the soil profiles of the mounds.
Data from the sampling of the soils and descriptions of their physical
properties provide guidance to investigators as to those soil characteristics
which could have an impact on the movement of plutonium through the soil and
on the uptake of plutonium by plants.
In a previous study (Leavitt, 1974), 127 sites were sampled to determine
soil type of the Clean Slate 3 area and Area 13 on the Test Range Complex*.
This work was done at the request of the NAEG, U.S. Department of Energy
(DOE), under the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of
1969. One of NAEG's goals is to develop techniques for the cleanup or
treatment of actinide-contaminated soils. This mound study is one of several
studies needed by the Group to accomplish this goal.
The soil samples were taken from the mounds of Area 13 and the Clean Slate
3 area and were described as to their texture, structure, pH, and
permeability. The soil descriptions provide a basis for other researchers to
*Test Range Complex includes the Tonopah Test Range (TTR), Nuclear Rocket
Development Station (NRDS), Nevada Test Site (NTS) , and Nellis Air Force
Range (NAFR).
-------
determine the plutonium activity that is associated with the different soil
fractions found in the mounds around native plants.
This report covers three different types of soil and vegetation sampling
sites. They are soils and shrubs, soils and grass, and animal mounds or
burrows.
-------
II. AREA DESCRIPTIONS
This work covered areas in the south-central and eastern parts of Nye
County in southern Nevada (Figure 1). These areas are semiarid with
precipitation ranging from 10 to 30 centimeters (4 to 12 inches) (Maxey and
Jameson, 1948). All of these areas provide only limited grazing for
livestock; however, about three-fourths of the acreage sampled would be
classified as potential agricultural land if water were available.
CLEAN SLATE 3 AREA
The Clean Slate 3 area, located in Area 52, was sampled on the Tonopah
Test Range. The Clean Slate 3 area, in what is commonly known as Cactus Flat,
is a desert grassland site with an elevation of about 1,650 meters (5,400
feet) along the floodplain of Cactus Flat. Most of the soils sampled in this
area are of cropland quality. The vegetation there is dominated by galleta
grass (Hilaria jamesii) and Indian ricegrass (Oryzopsis hymenoides), which
would make this area very good desert range for livestock. The soils and
vegetation found here are similar to those in Area 13 of the NTS.

AREA 13
Area 13 is in the northeastern corner of the Test Range Complex. It is
in the bottom of a wide alluvial valley about 1,317 meters (4,500 feet) in
elevation. It is bounded on the east by the Groom Range and on the west by
the Belted Range. Most of its land is classified as potential agricultural
cropland. Its soils and vegetation are similar to those in the Clean Slate 3
area of the Tonopah Test Range. The soils are deep and very productive. NAEG
investigators have conducted various types of research studies in this area
ranging from greenhouse soil and plant experiments to large animal grazing
studies (Au et al., 1976, 1977; Smith, 1976). The locations in Area 13 from
which soil samples were taken are shown in Figure 2.

III. PROFILE SAMPLING
Soil and vegetation samples were taken at each sampling site by Reynolds
Electrical and Engineering Company, Inc. personnel (Essington and Fowler,
1976). The samples were taken at random in a systematic manner according to
plot, quadrant, quadrate, mound, and whether the mound had a single plant or a
complex of two or more plants. Sketches of the different types of soil mounds
sampled are presented in Figure 3. A very shallow pit was dug to a depth of
5 cm at each sampling site, and the soil profile was determined by visual
inspection. All characterizations of the soil were performed on site at the
time of sampling.
The field sampling procedure was to cut or saw the aboveground vegetation
level with the top of the mound without disturbing the mound soil. Each mound
was then photographed with a stereo camera at an angle perpendicular to the
vertical axis of the mound at a distance just far enough away to include the
whole mound and part of the desert pavement surrounding the mound. From three
to six radials were selected for profile sampling depending on the uniformity
of the mound. Samples were collected by Reynolds Electrical and Engineering
Company, Inc. personnel using a technique that prevents cross-contamination of
samples (Essington and Fowler, 1976). Briefly, this was accomplished using
-------
a specially constructed scoop which removed a sample 10 cm x 1 cm and 2-1/2 cm
deep. A second 2-1/2-cm deep sample was removed separately following the
first so that a profile was obtained to a depth of 5 cm. Samples from each
mound were taken as close to the vegetation clump as practical.

IV. SOIL PROFILE CHARACTERIZATION PROCEDURES
Soil colors were determined by comparing the sample with the Munsell Soil
Color Chart (Munsell Color Company, Inc., 1954). The method requires visual
matching of the soil sample to an appropriate color chip. The standardized
color chips include designators for hue, value, and chroma. Hue is the
dominant spectral color. Value refers to the relative lightness of color and
is a function of the total amount of reflected light. Chroma, or the
saturation, is the relative purity or strength of the spectral color and
increases with decreasing grayness. Colors are for air-dried soil unless
otherwise noted.
Soil structure, pH, and effervescence were determined by procedures
described by the U.S. Soil Conservation Service (1951). Soil texture was
determined by rolling the moistened soil sample between the thumb and index
finger. Soil structure was determined visually from the aggregability of the
primary soil particles into compound particles. Soil pH was determined by
placing enough indicator dye solution to cover the soil sample in the spot
plate. Cresol red was used between pH 7.2 and 8.8, and thymol blue was used
between pH 8.0 and 9.6.
Effervescence was determined by adding a few drops of 0.1N HC1 to the soil
as an indication of the occurrence of certain salts in various crystalline
12
-------
forms. The effervescent reaction was correlated to the relative
concentrations of carbonates of calcium, magnesium, and sodium present in the
soil.

V. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Most of the surface soils in the two plutonium-contaminated sites of the
Test Range Complex have gravelly texture and are typically classified as
gravelly sandy loam. The majority of land sampled is either floodplain or
alluvial fan with deep soils having well-developed profiles and platy or
subangular blocky structure.
In the areas sampled, the wind has a dominant influence on the surface
texture of the soil. It has moved the fine-textured soils around individual
plants or plant clumps, thus leaving the coarse soil particles in low areas
between the plants. It was found that the size of the soil mound increased
with the size of the plant because of the plant biomass acting as a barrier
for the deposition of soil by the wind.
It has been established by Tamura (1975) that the highest plutonium
activity in soils at the NTS is associated with the coarse silt particle size
fraction (53 to 20 micrometers). This particle size is easily moved by the
wind.
In the soil profile mound study, it was generally found that the soil
around the brush was finer textured than that found in the animal diggings.
14
-------
This difference is due to the burrowing and continuous foraging habits of the
animals which cause a mixing of the coarse and fine soils resulting in a
coarser soil texture found at the animal mounds.
All of the soils are alkaline and range in pH from 7 to 9. The color of
the surface soil ranges from light gray to very pale brown dry and from brown
to dark grayish brown moist. Most of the soils are potentially agricultural
if water were available. The soil drainage is well to very well drained.
The vegetation is classified as high desert grass and shrubs. The grass
and shrubs are predominately winter fat (Eurotia lanata), fourwing saltbush
(Atriplex canescens), shadscale (Atriplex confertifolia), bud sagebrush
(Artemisia spinescens), galleta grass (Hilaria jamesii), and Indian ricegrass
(Oryzopsis hymenoides). The scientific and common names of the vegetation
occurring in the mound study areas are given in Table 1.
Domestic livestock prefer the above vegetation to any other that grows on
the desert range. Because a large portion of the land sampled could be
cultivated for crops or is potentially good winter range, these findings
should be considered in any '"cleanup" decision.
