• TECHNICAL REVISION N0. 14 <br />Response: <br />Tab 12, Page 12-49 has been revised to include a discussion of the East <br />Wadge Extension area. <br />9. The Division is concerned about the backwater of Pond 008 in <br />relation to future Wadge spoiling. Please verify that spoil <br />material will not encroach onto the ponding area of Pond 008. <br />Response: <br />In accordance with the Sedimentation Structure 008 As-Built Report, <br />Peabody will not spoil material below the 7017.4 elevation in the Pond <br />No. 008's ponding area. This elevation is the design 100-year, 24-hour <br />peak stage. <br />10. The following concerns were identified while reviewing proposed new <br />Exhibit 12-1: <br />A. Why is topsoil stockpile MM being proposed to be placed in the <br />middle of the 1988 Wadge mining area? Also, if developed, <br />where will this medium be relocated when mining encroaches <br />onto this area? <br />• Response: <br />Topsoil Stockpile MM is proposed to be located in the spoil after coal <br />removal and grading has been completed at this site. <br />B. Why is new haul road E5 being proposed considering the close <br />proximity of haul road E6? Also, are both of these roads <br />properly bonded? <br />Response: <br />Haul Road Ramp E5 is a middle haul road ramp in the 1987 and 1988 coal <br />removal sequence; whereas, Haul Road Ramp E6 starts as a middle haul <br />road ramp in 1987 and becomes an upper pit haul road ramp by 1989. <br />Peabody usually maintains a three to four haul road ramp system (i.e., <br />upper, middle, and lower haul road ramps) depending on the topography <br />and length of pit. In this case, the ElA Haul Road Ramp will be the <br />lower ramp until approximately 1989. <br />Yes, these haul road ramps are properly bonded. <br />C. What is the u-shaped feature abutting haul roads E5 and E6 and <br />extending to the north? <br />• <br />8 <br />
