cost to be compliant for MSHA secondary exit purposes. We have no intent to use the portal for <br /> operations other than a secondary exit for safety. A secondary pass-through barrier will be <br /> installed to prevent bats from entering this newly cleared area until all mining operations have <br /> ceased. Then the barrier will be removed to allow for a very large new bat environment. <br /> Connector Project Area Usage: 0.05 acres, which break down to... <br /> Area of Disturbance=0.036 <br /> Trail/Travel =0.014 <br /> The Area of Disturbance for this project is 0.036 acres, which will be split into working/stabilized area <br /> and soil storage. We have not intent of replacing soil over stabilized area above the portal other than <br /> some topsoil for seeds as needed. <br /> It is during this phase that we will be using the largest total disturbance. <br /> Ridgetop=0.12 acres <br /> Connector=0.05 acres <br /> PERMIT Total =0.17 acres <br /> Phase 4 <br /> Phase Four consists of 2 project areas. <br /> 1) Ridgetop Project Area: <br /> Ridgetop area of disturbance will be reduced to only what is needed for the underground operation. All <br /> unused areas will be backfilled and graded to final contours. Topsoil will be added from the storage into <br /> some areas to allow reseeding. Focus will be put on preventing any future UUD from weather. <br /> 2)Connector Project Area: <br /> This area will be reclaimed and reseeded except for a small 0.001 acre area around the Connector <br /> Portal. <br /> During reseeding, we intend to reseed the 0.014 acre area west of the Connector Project area. It is a <br /> pre-existing disturbance and would allow better reclamation of Connector Project Area by preventing <br /> UUD from weather. <br /> Total Area to be reseeded in this phase=0.049 acre <br />
