<br />Section 816.152 (d) Continued. <br />properties of the tested road construction materials and all excess <br />material will be used in the reclamation program. <br />In accordance with the techniques and procedures described in <br />Section 780,18, all embankment elopes will be mechanically stabilized, <br />seeded and mulched to aid in establishing vegetation and to minimize <br />eroslon. Mechanical stabilization will consist of furrowing and <br />"cat-tracking". The stabilized elope will then be broadcast seeded <br />using the seed mixture, seeding rates and mulching techniques <br />presented in Section 780.18. All existing seeding and mulching <br />techniques proposed for haulroad stabilization have been previously <br />approved by CMLRD in connection with Kerr Coal's existing State <br />Permit 76-13. Because of the ability of the road fill material to <br />support plant growth as established in Section 779.14, and because <br />of the general lack of excess topsoil at the Kerr Mine Area, Kerr <br />• Coal proposes not to topsoil the haulroad side slopes. In this <br />regard, the application of topsoil to these aide slopes pending <br />final reclamation ultimately will result in significant loss of <br />topsoil when it is removed from the aideslopes because of mixing. <br />Temporary sedimentation ponds, check dame, diversion ditches, and <br />other erosion control measures will be used to control sedimenta- <br />tion and minimize erosion during road construction., <br />(e) Topsoil Removal. Before initiation of construction or reconstruc- <br />tion of a Class I Road, topsoil and other materials, as determined under <br />30 CFR 816.22, shall be removed from the design roadbed, shoulders, and <br />surfaces where associated structures will be placed, and shall be stored <br />in accordance with 30 CFR 816.23. <br />816-188 <br />
