Volume calculated by Envirocon, Inc. Based on the 1993 topsoil pile relocation designs and utilizing original (1996) <br />contours and contour survey of the pile conducted in 1993 by Messenger & Associates. <br />2. Reclaimed, but had included approximately 400 c.y. at the Lone Pine substation and approximately 3,500 c.y. for the <br />Lone Pine mine water treatment pond. (Not Constructed) <br />3.

For topsoil and subsoil stockpile locations, see Map 53, 53A, and 53B <br />6. As -Built volumes from Nielson's Topographic Survey (Nov. 1997). <br />7. The volume of Live Subsoil Stockpiles will vary as soil is added to and removed from the pile for construction projects. <br />Soil is not needed for reclamation, other than as noted in Footnote 4. <br />8. Actual storage volumes will vary depending on the phase of construction and reclamation of the RPE area. See Table 1 in <br />Exhibit 70, which details the amount of soil that is stripped during each phase. <br />9. Unless otherwise specified, actual storage volumes have been estimated as of August 1998. <br />10. Stockpiles for methane drainage well sites are not included. <br />11.
