Hard Panning

The panning process can be controlled very effectively by factory employees but it is a difficult process to understand scientifically as any mathematical model involves partial differential equations.

Site 2 is situated on the south shore of Moore s pit (Figs. 1 2b). This site consists of i) a pyritic waste rock pile, covered with a thin veneer of Fe-oxide tailings and ii) a down stream acid drainage affected area that is characterized by a Fe oxide + sulfur-rich hard pan surface layer that overlies a stratified unit comprised of intensely altered (Fe-oxide stained) and unaltered Quaternary glaciolacustrine deposits. A small creek (product of beaver activities) flows along the eastern margin of the site into Moore s pond. 

Compaction occurs when soils are regularly walked on or cultivated in wet conditions. It is a particular problem in heavy soil. Avoid it by creating paths that follow the routes you want to take around the garden, and planting beds that are narrow enough to be worked on from paths. Regular use of a mechanical cultivator can also create compacted hard pan below the soil surface that plant roots cannot penetrate. 

Weathering in older soils produces decreasing permeabilities due to in situ secondary mineral formation and the development of hard pans and argillic horizons. Such zones of secondary clay and iron-oxides are clearly evident in the increased aluminum and iron at a depth of a meter in the Panola regolith (Figure 3). Low permeabilities in such features are commonly related to the absence of continuous pores due to the formation of thick cutans of clay (O Brien and Buol, 1984). This process is enhanced by physical translocation and collapse of saprolite structures (Torrent and Nettleton, 1978).

The foundation for a light building may be a downward continuation of the concrete wall, resting on hard pan or rock. It is termed plain nonspread footing and its use is only possible where a suitable bearing stratum is near the surface or near the line of basement excavation (Fig. 8-2e). 

Soils of the humid region and Temperate Zone that were at one time productive often become comparatively nonproductive after several years of cropping if little attention is given to maintenance of soil fertility. Among the chief reasons for the decrease in yields are decrease in available nutrients increase in acidity lack of adequate organic matter poor physical condition build up of toxic substances plant diseases insects and weed competition. There are other possibilities, some of which are closely related to the above, namely inadequate aeration, hard pans, slow infiltration, and poor drainage.

Continuous puddling of soil in the surface 15-20 cm soil layers creates a hard pan below the plow layer, which is highly compacted and has very low permeability. The hard pan development does not occur in recently developed paddy soils, but in soils that have been under cultivation for several years.

Fine-grained covers rely on the moisture-retaining characteristics of these materials to maintain high moisture contents above the water table. Naturally formed covers can be encouraged by intentional formation of hard pans (Blowes et al. 1991). These are analogues to lateritic iron accumulation in tropical soils (Mann 1983). The hard pan can comprise a... 

Cementation by silica is of considerable importance in relation to the phenomenon of induration in soil profiles. In horizons such as duripans and fragipans, induration has been attributed, at least in part, to such an effect. Although silica may also be involved in the formation of hard pans (Breese [1961] Nagornyi et al. [I960]), the conclusion that it is directly responsible for induration has not been confirmed experimentally (Mitchell et al. [1964]).
