.o <br />-9- <br />Reclamation will proceed contemporaneously with mining. Backfilled areas will be <br />graded, topsoiled:and seeded. Vegetation characteristics will be monitored until <br />the post-mining conditions are approximately equal to adjacent areas of comparable <br />vegetation. The final reclaimed surface will blend in with the surrounding <br />undisturbed areas. <br />The loadout is located on Linden Avenue in Trinidad, Colorado. Coal is trucked from <br />the mine site along County Road 44,0 to Interstate 25 and south to the rail loadout. <br />At the tipple, the coal is dumped into a crusher, conveyed to a stockpile and then <br />loaded onto trains. <br />Reclamation at the loadout will consist of clearing the area of coal refuse, <br />ripping and grading the surface, reclaiming sediment ponds and seeding embankments <br />as necessary. The post-mining land use will correspond to the industrial pre- <br />mining Land use. <br />
