the establishment of stabilizing vegetation. A straw bale or short silt fence will be <br />installed at the low point(s) in the berm to relieve accumulated run-off. <br />When the gob pile is filled to capacity, the top of the fill will be graded 2% to 5% to the <br />back side of the pile (north) to promote adequate drainage. Drainage from the top of the <br />fill will not be directed over the outslopes of the fill. When each new bench is <br />constructed, the rough construction face below that point will be completed by grading it <br />to its final configuration. Benches will be graded to the inside at 5% and graded to drain <br />to the sides at 1.5% - 5%. <br />Final reclamation will include completion of the cover material including topsoil, haul <br />road reclamation and completion of the permanent diversion and collection ditches. <br />Revegetation will be in accordance with Volume I, Section 2.05.4. <br />The seed mixture(s) will be hydroseeded or broadcast seeded. Seedbed preparation for <br />all disturbed areas shall be accomplished by one of two methods. The first method will <br />consist of extensive roughening by track hoe gouging (pocking). Extensive roughening <br />provides for increased moisture retention and favorable micro sites for plant <br />establishment. The first bench on coal mine waste disposal area number 2 may not be <br />extensively roughened since it was covered prior to the roughening requirement being <br />incorporated into the plan. The second method will consist of ripping the coverfill, then <br />placing the required depth of topsoil. The topsoil will then be furrowed along the contour <br />to retain moisture and curtail rill and gully formation. <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 hay will be <br />anchored using a tackifier, netting, or a tackifier mixed with wood or wood/paper fiber. <br />The tackifier will be applied in accordance with manufacture's specifications with <br />consideration of the type and quantity of mulch applied, slope, soil conditions and other <br />applicable factors. <br />Reclamation of the two borrow areas created by TR -98 will involve placement of topsoil <br />and seeding. The slopes will be extensively roughened by track hoe goughing <br />(pocking). The final grade of the borrow area slopes will range from 1.5H:1 V to 2H:1 V <br />which will blend in with the existing steep slopes ranging from 10% to 1.5H:1 V or <br />steeper. <br />TR -98 - 17 - 06/15 <br />
