• If the water exceeds the effluent limitations requirements of the NPDES <br />permit, Peabody wi 11 retai n the water wi thi n the permi t area unti 1 i t <br />meets effluent limitations requirements by one or a combination of the <br />following techniques: <br />1. Pump the water to another sedimentation pond such as Pond No. <br />006. <br />2. Evaporation. <br />3. Utilize the water for dust control within the permit area. <br />4. Utilize the water for sprinkler irrigation on the reclamation <br />areas to increase the soil moisture. <br />5. Reduce the discharge rate and/or install dentention structures <br />such as silt fence or hay bales at the discharge location. <br />Whether the pond is bypassed or the water is moved away from the <br />construction area to other areas of the permit area, Peabody will <br />minimize erosion and comply with the applicable regulations. <br />• Embankment reconstruction will be conducted in compliance with CMLRD <br />regulations. The existing embankment will be cleared of all organic <br />matter prior to the placement of new fill material. The placing and <br />spreading of fill material will proceed from the lowest point on the <br />embankment in horizontal layers of such thickness as to allow for a <br />minimum compaction of 93 percent of the standard proctor. Fill material <br />will be free of sod, large roots, vegetation matter, coal or coal <br />processing waste, and frozen material. Both the upstream and downstream <br />slopes of the embankment will be 3h:ly or flatter. The completed <br />embankment and surrounding disturbed areas will be seeded and <br />revegetated to prevent erosion. <br />SELECTED REFERENCES <br />Barfield, B.J., Warner, R.C., and Haan, C.T. 1983.
