~~~~~VE~ ~ ~r sEP i s ~ssz MINED LAND RECLAMATION Revised 9/16/82 Co!o. Dept. of t\~atural Reso~~rce~ will be used for watering down the roads in general. Further discussign of water handling is given below. Stockpiles. Topsoil will be removed (as shown in Plate 15) totaling some 232,910 bank yards, and stockpiled in stockpiles A, B, and C as shown in the mining plan maps, away from traffic, out of danger of flash floods and marked with signs, "Topsoil, Please $tay Off". _ ___ ,,.. Stockpile B will be protected from drainage from other stockpiles by contouring its perimeter to provide a drainage away from the pile. Some weathered coal has been stockpiled with the hope of selling it. If no market develops, it will be buried in the pit after Stage 1. However, all weathered coal encountered in the future will be mixed with overburden located in the same vicinity. This material will then be handled in the same manner as all other overburden. _ Safety Zones. Twenty foot wide safety zones will be • maintained around the Bourg property as the Bureau of Land Management requested that the pit and stockpiles, sedimentation ponds, and buildings not come to the edge of the property. The safety zone provides space for detouring parts of the ranch roads, power lines, and the telephone line, which was incidentally acceptable to the BLM, as based on verbal discussions. At the outer edge of the safety zone is a three- strand wire fence with steel posts. Well-constructed cattle guards interrupt this perimeter fence at the inner edge of the safety zone. Location and Removal of Mine Facilities. Plate 15 shows where the ranch roads, power lines, and telephone line have been re-routed. A11 of these will remain in their present position. The perimeter fence and cattle guards will also be left. The pipeline traversing the property has been relocated on BLM land outside the permit area and will remain in that location after D-2 ~. i ~_ .~-- - -......__ _ .~.... r~
