REVIEW QUESTION <br />• 2.05.4 <br />(2)(c) 4. The sediment ponds southwest of the pit along County Road 53 <br />have not yet been reclaimed. The applicant must submit a plan for recon- <br />structing the stream channel in this area consistent with 4.05.4. <br />occonucr <br />The following schedule is plannted to reclaim ponds H-G 6 and <br />H-G 7 along County Road 53. <br />The original drainage in which the two ponds were constructed is <br />illustrated in Exhibit II, Exhibit V. The cross sections show <br />that no stream channel was present. Rather the area was a wet <br />meadow plant community. H-G Coal Company intends to re- <br />establ ish the original stream gradient and expects that the wet <br />meadow will re-establish naturally. <br />n <br />U <br />Soil removed during the construction of the ponds included both <br />A and B horizon. The A horizon was stored in topsoil stockpile <br />C and the B horizon was backfilled into the pit. <br />B horizon will be placed in the bottom of the ponds and approxi- <br />mately 24 inches of topsoil will be placed on the surface. <br />Once the original gradient is re-established the newly applied <br />topsoil will be tested to determine if additional nutrients <br />(fertilizer) are necessary. <br />• <br />
