~e~,s~ 4-3o-gZ <br />ESTIMATED RECLAMATION TIMETABLE <br />u <br />• <br />• <br />The following is an estimated timetable for the reclamation <br />of the second and fourth stages of reclamation. The dates listed <br />are anticipated dates of completion for each stage of reclamation. <br />The mining of two seams in a syncline complicated by a steep limb <br />and several faults has dictated the proposed mining plan as well <br />as, the time lag of approximately one to two years for much of the <br />reclamation. Mining stages 4 through 9 will retrace much of the <br />area already disturbed during stages 1 through 3 in order to re- <br />cover the Sudduth coal seam (Plate 6). Due to this unconventional <br />mining sequence, cnrttemporaneous reclamation is unwarranted until <br />the second mining of each area has been completed. Reclamation will <br />advance simultaneously with the working face after completion of <br />Stage 4. See Plate 11 for the location and size of the area to <br />be reclaimed during each stage. <br />i <br />Equipment to be used in reclamation will be bulldozers, <br />scrapers, and graders Seedbed preparation and seeding and fer- <br />tilizing will require farm tractors, disc, harrow and drill seeders. <br />2nd Stage Reclamation <br />Estimated date of recontouring and topsoiling Aug. - Sept. 1982 <br />Estimated date of seeding Oct. - Nov. 1982 <br />Estimated acreage 3 acres <br />4th Stage Reclamation <br />Estimated date of recontouring and topsoiling Aug. - Sept. 1986 <br />Estimated date of seeding Oct. - Nov. 1986 <br />Estimated acreage 14.2 acres <br />G-1 <br />
