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 -l. 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,
