Section 816.132 (b) Continued. <br />The entire office, shop, warehouse, and tipple facilities will be <br />reclaimed at the completion of coal mining. All salvageable equip- <br />ment and buildings will be sold, dismantled and removed from the <br />permit area. Any unsalvageable material will be hauled off the <br />permit area to an approved disposal site elsewhere. Likecaise, all <br />power lines and power poles will be removed and salvaged after the <br />conclusion of mining activities. The restoration and reclamation <br />of mine roads is discussed under Sections 816.156, 816.166, and <br />816.176. The railroad spur into the Energy Piine No. 1 is completely <br />owned by the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad; therefore, no <br />reclamation is planned. <br />The total area encompassed by the surface facilities at the Energy <br />Piines No. 1 and 2 is approximately 64 acres. A breakdown of the <br />individual acreage is shoum in Table 110, Area of Surface Facilities. <br />The surface facilities are located on the Energy Pfines No. 1 and 2 <br />• Existing Structures (Map 34). <br />Once the structures or buildings are removed, the disturbed areas <br />of the surface facilities will probably require ripping or scari- <br />fying to loosen the gravel or compacted bed. Any gravel or other <br />material, such as asphalt, will be removed and disposed of in a <br />final pit area or other approved disposal site off the permit area. <br />The areas will then be graded and recontoured as necessary to <br />achieve an approximate original contour. Because topsoil was not <br />removed prior to the construction of the surface facilities, Energy <br />Fuels will probably not have any great amount of topsoil to be <br />spread over the reworked surfaces. However, any available or <br />additional topsoil remaining in stockpiles at the conclusion of <br />mining will be used to cover the recountered areas. These areas <br />will then be seeded in accordance with the mixture delineated in <br />Table 96, Proposed Rangeland Seed Mixture. The revegetation success <br />of the reclaimed surface facilities area will be monitored simultaneously <br />with the monitoring of the reclaimed mining areas. As a minimum, <br />816-168 <br />
