LOWER REFUSE PILE RECLAMATION - TR-27 <br /> TR-27 Refuse Pile Configuration <br /> Technical Revision 27 (TR-27) expands the overall footprint of the existing <br /> waste bank west to the adjacent hillside and includes the area north from the <br /> existing high bank to just south of the old bath house facility. The face of the bank <br /> will have a surface slope of 2.5:1 or less as stipulated in the original design. <br /> Due to the relatively small size of the lower part of the refuse pile, at the time <br /> of final reclamation the lower refuse pile will already be in its final shape because <br /> "final shape" will be maintained at all times as the pile grows. <br /> The road which serves as access to the top of the waste pile will be left in place <br /> as per request from Lawrence Huntington (See Appendix 12(1). This road is an <br /> easement to Mr. Huntington's property. <br /> TR-27 Topsoil and Fill Cover Material <br /> 3.5 feet of cover will be placed on all previously uncovered surfaces prior to the <br /> addition of plant growth medium. <br /> Final reclamation of the lower part of the refuse pile requires that there be 3.5 <br /> feet of cover and 6 inches of topsoil on top of the waste pile. This will require <br /> approximately 23,882 CY of cover material and 3,412 CY of plant growth medium. <br /> Plant growth medium will be spread evenly to a finished depth of 6 inches and the <br /> area planted per methods outlined in this section. Most of the increased waste pile <br /> area is within the existing boundary limits and the topsoil was removed when the <br /> mine was originally constructed. The limited areas within the existing boundary <br /> which do have existing vegetation shall have the vegetation removed prior to <br /> stockpiling any suitable topsoil material. <br /> Future waste pile reclamation will entail stockpiling plant growth medium and <br /> fill material which will be salvaged while extending the waste pile as it grows. As the <br /> waste pile slowly increases in size, all available fill material and plant growth <br /> medium will be removed and stockpiled at the east boundary of each 5 year design <br /> phase. As the face of the pile rises, material from this stockpile will be drawn upon <br /> and used to reclaim the face of the waste pile as outlined above. Should additional <br /> fill material be required at final reclamation, suitable material from the designated <br /> borrow area will be used. <br /> GCC Energy, LLC King I Mine <br /> Section 2.05.4 <br /> Page 11 June 25, 2019 (TR-27) <br />
