2.05.3 <br />Additionally, an estimated 20,100 cubic yards was salvaged from the <br />disturbance associated with the downhill conveyor project. After the downhill <br />conveyor project was complete, the following topsoil is projected to be <br />available for reclamation. <br />During the construction of the B -Seam portals and the preparation plant <br />approximately 43,000 cubic yards were salvaged. The available topsoil for <br />reclamation is as follows: <br />Pile A (CY) <br />Piles A - C <br />Parking <br />Slide <br />Conveyo <br />r <br />B -Seam & <br />Prep Plant <br />Total <br />Quantity (CY) <br />87,600 <br />4,200 <br />20,100 <br />43,000 <br />154,900 <br />The 5,300 cubic yards of topsoil salvaged during the construction of Pond C <br />and the gob pile is stored in topsoil stockpiles D and E. An addition 800 <br />cubic yards of topsoil was added to topsoil stockpile E during the expansion <br />of the coverfill pile during 2003. <br />Pile D Pile E Grand Total <br />Quantity (CY) 4,500 37,950 197,350 <br />A total of 52,865 cubic yards of topsoil was stripped and stockpiled during the <br />construction of the unit train loadout. This quantity results in an average 1.3 <br />foot replacement depth within the disturbed area at the loadout including the <br />disturbance associated with Ponds J & K. The topsoil is stored in topsoil <br />stockpile F. Construction of Gob Pile No. 3 will result in approximately <br />42,000 CY of topsoil that will be stored in Topsoil Stockpile F-1. <br />The design of the gob pile in 2003 was a 10 -year design. At the time of <br />this writing, in May 2006, the gob pile is nearly full and ready to be <br />reclaimed. To reclaim the entire gob pile, approximately 0.5 feet of topsoil <br />will be placed on the completed construction face. In total, the operator <br />salvaged approximately 42,500 CY of topsoil. Material from the stockpile, <br />new borrow area and the topsoil stockpile will be utilized for reclamation. <br />MR -168 2.05-52- 12/14 <br />
