This TWS pile is located west of the intersection with an access road to <br />the Mesa Gravel Pit (Exhibit 13- 11.5). <br />IX. Backfilling and Grading <br />Backfilling and grading is discussed under Tabs 17, 18, and 23 of the permit application. <br />Backfilling and grading operations will return the disturbed area associated with the Loadout <br />to the approved post- mining topography in conjunction with the closure and final <br />reclamation of the facility. <br />The truck and train loading structures were dismantled, removed and the facilities and coal <br />stockpile area regraded in 2011. Backfill and grading of 11.9 acres of the facilities area was <br />approved for Phase I bond release with SL1, July 27, 2012. <br />The TAHR was originally included in the Seneca II -W permit (C- 1982 -057).

The road is currently approved to remain in place until year 2030. <br />X.
