RE: SENECA II-WEST.Permi Application Completeness Review
c
Pursuant to your request, I have completed a review of the following
geotechnical portions of the application:
Rule Topic
2.05.3(3)(c) Roads (Stability Aspects)
2.05.3(6) Overburden Handling
2.05.3(6)(a) Blasting Plan
2.05.3(6)(b) Excess Spoil Disposal
2.05.3(8) Coal Processing Waste Disposal
2.05.4(2)(c) Reclamation Plan - Backfilling & Grading Plan
2.06.7 Special Categories - Variance from Contemporaneous
Reclamation
4.03 Roads (Stability Aspects)
4.08 Explosives
4.13 Contemporaneous Reclamation
4.14 Backfilling & Grading
My review has determined one incomplete geotechnical application response:
Rule 2.05.4(2)(c) - Reclamation Plan - Backfilling & Grading Plan
The applicant porposes to deposit the spoil from the 1983 box cut "along side
of the cut". The cross-sections (EXHIBITS 12-5R1 and 12-5R2) and the Postmining
Topography Map {EXHIBIT 13-2), clearly depict the permanent deposition of the
box cut spoils outside the mined pit boundaries. These same EXHIBITS depict
a deficit of material at the southern terminous of the northern resource area,
resulting in a lowered postmining topography and steeper transitional slopes.
The application also demonstrates that the bulking factor averages 0.92, which
projects no excess spoil generation.
In order to comply with the requirements of Rule 4.14.1(2)(d), refered to by
Rule 2.05.4(2)(c), the applicant must demonstrate "that such material is not
required to achieve the approximate original contour of the area..."
