3 -5 <br />(3) As shown on Figure 3.1 -2, the land above the highwall will not be <br />disturbed. A small area across the valley from the portals on the cut slope <br />south of the existing mine trailers will have approximately 25 feet of the cut <br />slope crest smoothed to blend in with the compacted fill slope and to <br />improve the postmining slope stability. The additional area to be disturbed <br />will be approximately 0.15 acres. <br />(4) The landowner request is contained in Appendix K. <br />(5) These operations will comply with all rules and regulations of the DRMS. <br />(6) As was previously approved, spoil from the mine bench area was used in <br />the construction of the haul road when it was built in early 1977. <br />No unique reclamation problems exist that have not been successfully <br />dealt with in similar, semi -and western coal mining operations. All aspects of the <br />proposed reclamation plan are aimed at achieving the highest possible success <br />in revegetation in consideration of the controlling factors. <br />The reclamation of rangeland will be in those areas where topographic <br />features are commensurate with the historical and proposed use. The blending of <br />rangeland into the steeper sloped wildlife habitat will allow for the maximum <br />domestic and wildlife uses. <br />MR -50 M`- Volume 1 (Rev 04/14) <br />
