No permanent structures will be built within the mining <br /> area. All production facilities and equipment will be portable. BURNCO will provide portable <br /> toilets and bottled water to employees on site during operations. These will be located in the <br /> processing area. Any fuel stored on site will have full secondary containment that can carry <br /> 110% of the fuel tank volume. All facilities will be removed during reclamation. Explosives will <br /> not be used at the site. <br /> 4. Topsoil and Overburden Handling <br /> Topsoil averages two feet overlying two feet of overburden. Topsoil and overburden will be <br /> stripped with appropriate earthmoving equipment as deemed suitable for the operation such as <br /> front-end loaders, dozers, excavators, and water trucks. Topsoil and overburden will be <br /> stockpiled separately onsite in either designated stockpiles, berms, or directly placed to create <br /> final reclamation slopes. These materials will be directly placed in the designated stockpile <br /> areas or berms which can be seen on Map C-2. Stockpiles to be in place longer than 90 days <br /> will be seeded with the permanent seed mix to prevent erosion (see Exhibit E for seed mix). <br /> Screening berms will be constructed immediately with overburden, topsoil, and/or sand <br /> extracted from Pod 1. These berms will be vegetated to prevent erosion and provide noise and <br /> visual screening. An average of two feet of topsoil and two feet of overburden were assumed to <br /> determine the overall material balance shown in Table D-2. <br /> Table D-2 Topsoil and Overburden Material Generated During Mining <br /> Material Generated (CY) <br /> Topsoil 271,360 <br /> Overburden 271,360 <br /> Due to the reclaimed land use as water storage ponds, there will be an excess of topsoil than <br /> what is needed for reclamation. This is because the lakes make up the majority of the reclaimed <br /> land and do not need to be topsoiled entirely.
