Along with evaluation of actual material properties at the Southfield <br />Mine. IME has presented a summary of related scientific literature and <br />studies on properties, suitability, and reclamation experience for western <br />coal refuse. <br />The MLRD has reviewed this documentation and feels that it does not <br />provide a conclusive demonstration that a reduction in topsoil replacement <br />thickness will not adversely impact revegetation of the refuse pile. <br />EFCI, therefore, anticipates submittal of a technical revision outlining <br />site specific studies to evaluate vegetation response to varying cover <br />depths. If test results demonstrate favorable revegetation success with <br />reduced cover, topsoil replacement plans may be modified accordingly with <br />MLRD approval. <br /> <br /> <br />REV7R15.REV <br />11/15/9317em 4.06.3R Revised - November 1993 <br />
