<br />Actual backfill quantities were calculated by running cross- <br />sections every 100 feet for the length of the pit. The backfill <br />quantity available vas 986,000 cubic yards from the two stockpiles <br />and 142,000 cubic yards from the cut area adjacent to the haul road <br />for a total of 1,128,000 cubic yards. The final contour was <br />calculated by taking the available yardage and the plan for the <br />final contour and arriving at a balance between the tw. <br />The backfill will be accomplished by pushing or dumping the <br />material off the highwall. This method will provide compaction <br />similar to that of a dragline spoil. Stability will not be a <br />problem ae the backfill will be confined on all aides by the pit <br />highwalls. CYCC is currently evaluating three methods of <br />backfilling the pit. One option involves transporting the backfill <br />material from the two stockpiles using a conveyor system. Option <br />two is transporting the material with haultrucks and alternative <br />three considers the use of dozers to push the material into the pit. <br />The final result will most likely be a combination of tw options. <br />The map reference on Map No. 13a has been corrected. <br />B. Surface Mine Area <br />The applicant proposes to surface mine in a 16.2 acre area <br />approximately 1 mile south-southeast of the CYCC Middle Creek office. <br />The area strip mining method will be utilized. A temporary overburden <br />stockpile will be developed from the first cut, coal will be removed and <br />stockpiled just north of this temporary overburden stockpile. The <br />-39- <br />
