Surface Facilities
<br /> The surface facilities transferred from CYCC to TCC will be reclaimed as described in the following sections.
<br /> Any buildings or structures will be removed, utilities stubbed-off and plugged or capped at least 3 feet below the final
<br /> re-grade elevation, and the affected areas graded to blend with the surrounding terrain. Demolition debris resulting
<br /> from building and structure demolition will be buried at the base of the highwall. Soil materials will be applied
<br /> consistent with the amounts and locations shown on Map 29, Reclamation. Following soil redistribution,the areas will
<br /> be seeded with the appropriate seed mixture. The re-grading, soil replacement, and seeding will be done in accordance
<br /> with the plan and applicable regulations.
<br /> As shown on Map 29, soil from Stockpiles SF-1 and SF-2 will be redistributed over the eastern end of the surface
<br /> facilities. Soil from Stockpile SF-3 will be redistributed over the office/bathouse, portal, and warehouse areas and part
<br /> of the existing waste rock dump. This soil is from a stockpile relocated from the backfill pad to SF-1. Soil from
<br /> Stockpile SF-4 will be redistributed in the warehouse area. Soil from Stockpile SF-5 will be redistributed on the road
<br /> corridor. Soil from Stockpile SF-6 will initially be redistributed over the waste pile in order to minimize the need to
<br /> relocate Stockpile SF-6, while establishing permanent perimeter drainage control for the waste pile. The remainder of
<br /> SF-6 will be redistributed over the office area, road corridor, tipple area, original waste rock dump, and batch-weigh
<br /> loadout facilities areas. Soil from Stockpile SF-11 will be redistributed on the road corridor.
<br /> Soil from the footprint of the new waste pile area was salvaged and added to Stockpile SF-12. A maximum of 154,880
<br /> CY was stripped (18-inches over the area of the pile) and placed in Stockpiles SF-12, 13, and 14. The majority of the
<br /> Soil placed in Stockpile SF-12 will be redistributed over the waste pile during the reclamation process, with the
<br /> exception that sufficient yardage will be pulled from Stockpile SF-12 to offset yardage from Stockpile SF-6 used in
<br /> reclaiming portions of the waste pile. Offsetting material volumes from Stockpile SF-12 will be used for the office
<br /> area, road corridor,tipple area, original waste rock dump, and batch weigh loadout facilities areas. In addition, certain
<br /> soil stockpiles are dedicated to a particular disturbance area. Those stockpiles are SF-9 and 10 - railroad track
<br /> extension, SF-7 -coal stockpile expansion area, WWTF -waste water treatment facility, RDT-1 -rockdust tank,FCB-
<br /> 1, 2,3, and FCVF-1 -Fish Creek Borehole area,and SSS-1 -power borehole.
<br /> Washplants I and II
<br /> The coal-handling system is part of the mine surface facilities, and site reclamation (grading, drainage restoration,
<br /> soil replacement, and revegetation) will be completed in conjunction with overall reclamation of the surface
<br /> facilities area. When no longer required, all usable coal processing equipment will be removed and salvaged, and
<br /> the Crushing/Screening and Washplant Buildings and associated conveyors and related structures will be
<br /> dismantled and removed from the site or demolished. The structures to be removed include the Crushing/Screening
<br /> Building; Washplant I and the related clean coal, stoker, and refuse conveyors and structures (includes Thickener
<br /> Tanks and Refuse Bin); Washplant II and the related clean coal, stoker, and refuse conveyors and structures
<br /> (includes Thickener Tanks and Refuse Bin); and the Washplant Sub-Station, and the associated power distribution
<br /> line. After removal or demolition of the buildings, structures, and conveyors, the related concrete foundations will
<br /> be demolished. Any concrete or structural debris resulting from demolition of the washplant facilities and related
<br /> foundations will either be placed in the mine portal area and buried, or disposed of off-site. The associated
<br /> disturbance areas will then be backfilled and rough-graded to blend with surrounding terrain. In conjunction with
<br /> site regrading, any surplus fill material not required to establish the design postmining configuration will either be
<br /> hauled back to one of the original borrow sites, or if suitable material, may be used as cover for the Coal Refuse
<br /> Pile. After structure removal and backfilling, soli materials will be replaced and seeded with the approved seed
<br /> mixture. Soil replacement will involve redistributing the 9,300 CY of soil that was placed in stockpile SF-4 (3,300
<br /> CY) and PPSP-1 (6,420 CY). The 4,170 CY of plant growth media placed in stockpile PPSP-2 will be redistributed
<br /> over the area from which it was removed.
<br /> During review of TR94-18, a concern was raised over the postmining elevation, and if the foundations would be
<br /> below grade. The bond for the technical revision was established using the worst-case estimate that the foundation
<br /> would have to be removed and the site then regraded. The map and certification presented in Exhibit 26B,
