X. Coal Mine Waste Banks - Rule 4.10 <br /> There are no coal mine waste banks on the site. No coal mine waste is anticipated to be <br /> generated as the site is in the reclamation phase [Rule 4.10.l(l)]. <br /> XL Coal Mine Waste -Rule 4.11 <br /> There is no coal processing waste or underground development waste generated, and none is <br /> anticipated, at the site. Thus the disposal of coal mine waste is not applicable to the permit. <br /> XII. Slides and Other Damage - Rule 4.12 <br /> No slides or other damage have been recorded at the site. <br /> XIII. Contemporaneous Reclamation -Rule 4.13 <br /> Variances to contemporaneous reclamation were granted during mining operations for the <br /> backfilling and grading of Pit A and Pit B. Backfilling and grading have been completed at the <br /> site. <br /> XIV. Backfilling and Grading - Rule 4.14 <br /> Backfilling and grading operations at the Keenesburg Strip Mine have been completed. <br /> XV. Revegetation -Rule 4.15 <br /> The approved revegetation plan (Section 2.05.4 of the PAP) emphasizes native species as <br /> illustrated in the seed mix. A sorghum mulch was approved as an optional means to meet soil <br /> stabilization requirements until vegetation is re-established [Rule 4.15.4]. <br /> Approved methods to measure herbaceous cover, production, and species diversity are discussed <br /> in the PAP, Section 2.05.4. Techniques include selection of sample locations using randomly- <br /> generated grid coordinates and random determination of transect directions. A stationary optical <br /> sighting device is used to determine hits. <br /> Reclamation success for both vegetative cover and herbaceous productivity is determined using <br /> an approved formula which accounts for effective precipitation. These formulae for reclamation <br /> 15 <br />
