Coal Mine Waste Rule 4. 11 <br /> There will be no coal mine waste generated by the proposed operations at the Loadout. <br /> Crushing and sizing operations were conducted at the Loadout; however, all coal was <br /> loaded onto trains or trucks and transported from the site. <br /> A small temporary waste storage (TWS)pile has been previously permitted on the north <br /> side of the TAHR. This TWS pile is located west of the intersection with an access road <br /> to the Mesa Gravel Pit(Exhibit 13- 11. 5 of the PAP). <br /> IX. Backfilling and Grading <br /> Backfilling and grading is discussed under Tabs 17, 18, and 23 of the permit <br /> application. Backfilling and grading operations will return the disturbed area associated <br /> with the Loadout to the approved post-mining topography in conjunction with the <br /> closure and final reclamation of the facility. <br /> The truck and train loading structures were dismantled, removed and the facilities and <br /> coal stockpile area regraded in 2011. Backfill and grading of 11. 9 acres of the facilities <br /> area was approved for Phase I bond release with SLI, July 27, 2012. <br /> The TAHR was originally included in the Seneca II-W permit(C- 1982- 057). The <br /> acreage is separate from the backfill and grading schedule and reclamation schedule of <br /> the facilities located at the load out. The road is currently approved to remain in place <br /> until year 2030. <br /> X.
