Rule 2: Permits <br />The outslope of the fill is graded at approximately 2.5: 1 with 20 -foot benches constructed every <br />40 feet in elevation. At reclamation, the outslopes and top of the fill are covered with topsoil or <br />suitable material after rough grading takes place. The outslopes are walked with a dozer to <br />minimize erosion prior to seeding. Appropriately armored diversion ditches are installed on each <br />side of the fill to carry runoff to a sediment control structure. The top of the fill and the benches <br />are graded to direct runoff to these perimeter collection ditches. <br />Spoil Transportation Zones <br />Spoil transportation zones are adjacent to the fills and below the coal seams mined. Overburden <br />may be transported over the areas by dozer or gravity for final placement in the fill. Overburden <br />will be transported only over these areas. No coal will be recovered inside the zones. After the <br />overburden is transported over these zones, they will be restored to their original contour. No <br />material will be stored in these zones. Following overburden removal and placement, the zones <br />will be walked with a dozer to minimize erosion, topsoil replaced, and seeded. The area covered <br />by the zones is considered disturbed and treated as such in sediment control and reclamation <br />calculations. <br />TR -17 2.05 -11 06/12 <br />
