(c) A plan for backfilling, soil stabilizing, compacting and grading with postmining contour maps and <br /> appropriate cross-sections that are typical and representative of the anticipated character of the final surface <br /> configuration of the proposed permit area in accordance with 4.14, for stream channel reconstruction in accordance <br /> with 4.05.4, and for road removal or modification in accordance with 4.03.. <br /> RESPONSE <br /> Portal Area <br /> The rough grading of the spoils at the portal area will be accomplished by pushing the old spoil into the pit. Dozers <br /> will be utilized to cover and rough grade the refuse area with spoil material. The material storage yard will be <br /> restored by pushing the fill portion of the yard back into the cut area as shown on Cross-Sections B-B and C-C on <br /> Map 25, Surface Area Cross-Sections. The access/haulroad will be regraded by pushing the fill portions into the <br /> cut areas. The spoil material will be compacted, graded and stabilized by the equipment used to place the spoil <br /> materials. Map 31, Postmining Topography, and Cross-Sections A-A, B-B, D-D, E-E, F-F, G-G, H-H and Y-1 on <br /> Map 25, Surface Area Cross-Sections, show the final surface configurations in detail. The upland diversions are <br /> shown on Map 25, Cross-Sections H-H and Y-Y. The designs for these channels are provided in Exhibit 8-N, <br /> SEDCAD for Diversions PD1, PD2, PD3, and PD4. <br /> Grading operations will be conducted to reestablish an approximate original contour configuration and to avoid the <br /> creation of long uninterrupted slopes. Since there are no steep slopes in the proposed permit area, cut and fill <br /> terraces will not be installed. Grading will result in an undulating topography, thereby increasing moisture <br /> infiltration, reducing runoff potential, and minimizing erosion. Topsoil will be distributed as shown on Map 29, <br /> Reclamation. <br /> Portal Slope Heating System <br /> Upon completion of mining, the slope heating system will be dismantled and the small associated building will be <br /> removed. The concrete pad will remain in place and will be buried during reclamation of the portal area. <br /> RN 17-07 2.05-99 02/15/18 <br />
