Mine Fan <br />On completion of mining, the fan and motor will be removed from the foundation and taken from the site. This will <br />involve unbolting the fan and motor from their respective foundations. The pre-engineered building will be torn down <br />and buried in the pit. The duct work and concrete pad or footers will be left in place and buried during reclamation of <br />the portal area. <br />The associated transformer will be removed from the site. The transformer pad will be broken -up, the additional <br />power poles will be knocked down, and the resulting demolition debris will be pushed into the portal excavation and <br />buried during final reclamation. <br />Coal Handling System <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. Significant additional rough grading will not be required to address reclamation of the coal handling <br />system. Prior to rough grading the coal handling facilities areas, all usable coal -handling equipment will be <br />removed and salvaged, and the ROM Stacker Tube, Sampling Station, Primary and Secondary Crusher Buildings, <br />Sample Building, and associated conveyors and related structures will be dismantled and removed from the site or <br />demolished. The top and upper portion of the sides of the ROM Reclaim Tunnel and lateral structures will be <br />broken -up and placed into the tunnels. After removal or demolition of the buildings, structures, and conveyors, the <br />related concrete foundations will be demolished. Any concrete or structural debris resulting from demolition of the <br />coal -handling facilities and related foundations will either be placed in the mine portal area and buried, or disposed <br />of off-site. The associated disturbance areas will then be backfilled and rough -graded to blend with the surrounding <br />terrain. In conjunction with site regrading, any surplus fill material not required to establish the design postmining <br />configuration will either be hauled back to one of the original borrow sites, or if suitable material, may be used as <br />cover for the Coal Refuse Pile. Topsoil will be replaced on the regraded areas from the designated topsoil <br />stockpiles, and the areas will be reseeded with the approved revegetation seed mixture. <br />The Overland Conveyor access corridor will be ripped to a depth of approximately 24 inches, and the windrowed <br />topsoil will be redistributed over the corridor. The redistributed topsoil will be seeded with the rangeland seed <br />mixture. The drive building will be dismantled and either removed from the site or hauled to the portal area for <br />burial. The foundation materials will be handled in the same manner. <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 the borrow sites, or if suitable material, may be used as cover for the Coal Refuse <br />Pile. After structure removal and backfilling, the site will be topsoiled and seeded with the approved seed mixture. <br />Topsoil replacement will involve redistributing the 9,300 CY of topsoil that was placed in stockpile SF -4 (3,300 <br />TRI 8-91 2.05-102 08/20/18 <br />
