MR. PETER O'CONNOR <br />June 10, 1986 <br />Page 9 <br />standard practice of reclamation is to perform all the required activities prior <br />to the period of greatest arecipitation. In this area, the greatest precipitation <br />on the North facing slope would occur during the winter months. Therefore, BLUE <br />FLAME COAL MINE revises the table to reflect reclamation occuring in September and <br />October. <br />RECLAMATION TIME TABLE <br />ACTTVTTY <br />(1) DISMANTLING SURFACE FACILITIES <br />SALE OF SALVAGED EQUIPMENT AND <br />COAL STOCKPILES BACKFILLING AND <br />SEALING OF MINE PORTALS <br />TJME PERIOD <br />AS NEEDED <br />(2) REGRADING OF THE PERMIT AREA <br />(3) TOPSOIL DISBURSEMENT COMPACTING, <br />ROUGHING <br />(4) SEEDING AND MULCHING WITH EROSION <br />CONTROL BLAM~T <br />SEP'I'ENIDER 1 thru <br />SEPTEI~IDER 15 <br />SEPTEMBER 15 thn~ <br />SEPT'ENIDER 30 <br />OCTOBER 1 <br />(6) FERTILIZATION OCTOBER 14 <br />(7) EROSION COI~Fi'ROL, INSPECTION AND SEPTEMBER 20 UNTIL <br />MAIMPENANCE OF DIVERSION CHANNELS NO LONGER NECESSARY <br />(~egarding the Divisions concern of #15 in the March 3, 1986, Adequacy <br />Review .Le ~ to BLUE FLAK COAL MINE, pursuant to revegetation success criteria <br />for a hezbacetst~s vegetation camninity, cover of the revegetated area shall be at <br />least 90~ of the cover as determined fnxn any referenced area outside the disturbed <br />area and approved wig 90~ statistical confidence. For the woody vegetation com- <br />munities, cover of the ~ egetated area shall be at least 90~ of the cover as det- <br />ermined from any similar re nce area outside the disturbed area, and meet the ap- <br />proved standard with 80~ stati 'cal confidence. BLUE FLAME COAL MINE will demon- <br />strate via a Soil Conservation Se ce survey that adequate species diversity has <br />been achieved on the revegetated area. BLUE FLAME COAL MIKE will also demonstrate <br />that the vegetation on the reclaimed su ce consists of a mixture of the species <br />of the same seasonal variety native to the ea of the disturbed land, or of species <br />that will support the post mining land use. etation on the reclaimed surface will <br />be equal to or superior in utility for the appro post mining land use when com- <br />pared with the ulitity of naturally occuring vegeta 'on during each season of the <br />year. <br />
