The areas disturbed by the each phase of construction, including the topsoil <br />stockpile, coverfill stockpile, road fill, berms, pond slopes and diversion ditches <br />that are not riprapped, will be promptly seeded with the stabilization seed mix. <br />The components of the stabilization seed mix are listed in Volume I, Section <br />2.05.4.(2)(e). A berm will be constructed around the topsoil stockpile to contain <br />any topsoil that may erode prior to the establishment of stabilizing vegetation. A <br />straw bale or short silt fence will be installed at the low point(s) in the berm to <br />relieve accumulated run -off. <br />When the gob pile is filled to capacity, the top of the fill will be graded 2% to 5% <br />to the back side of the pile (north) to promote adequate drainage. Drainage from <br />the top of the fill will not be directed over the outslopes of the fill. When each <br />new bench is constructed, the rough construction face below that point will be <br />completed by grading it to its final configuration. Benches will be graded to the <br />inside at 5% and graded to drain to the sides at 1.5% - 5 %. <br />Final reclamation will include completion of the cover material including topsoil, <br />haul road reclamation and completion of the permanent diversion and collection <br />ditches. Revegetation will be in accordance with Volume I, Section 2.05.4. <br />The seed mixture(s) will be hydroseeded or broadcast seeded. Seedbed <br />preparation for all disturbed areas shall consist of extensive roughening by track <br />hoe gouging (pocking). Extensive roughening provides for increased moisture <br />retention and favorable micro sites for plant establishment. The first bench on <br />coal mine waste disposal area number 2 may not be extensively roughened <br />since it was covered prior to the roughening requirement being incorporated into <br />the plan. <br />All seeded areas will be mulched with certified weed free grass hay or straw. <br />Approximately two tons of mulch will be used on each acre seeded. Straw or <br />hay will be anchored using a tackifier, netting, or a tackifier mixed with wood or <br />wood /paper fiber. The tackifier will be applied in accordance with manufacture's <br />specifications with consideration of the type and quantity of mulch applied, slope, <br />soil conditions and other applicable factors. <br />TR -77 -16- 05/14 <br />
