were located on the Peabody Coal Company Operations Plan (Exhibit 12-2). The <br /> areas are shown on Drawing No. 9111-2 in this report. Comments on each of <br /> these areas is by designation on that drawing. <br />Stockpile QQ. This stockpile is now located in area recommended on the <br />north side of the haul road alignment at about Sta. 37+00 to Sta. 40+00 between <br />the 6875' and 6925' contours. The ground on this slope appears to be stable. <br />Stockpile PP. This stockpile area is on relatively stable ground <br />described in the field and confirmed on the photos last fall as "near bedrock, <br />low potential for failure." This stockpile is essentially within the Williams <br />Fork Formation. <br />Stockpile SS. This stockpile is now in a recommended location where <br />stabilized ground (Qsg) is mapped. In making the recommendation it was noted <br />that the scrub vegetation surrounding its limits should not be disturbed any <br />more than absolutely necessary. <br />• Stockpiles TOB-3 and II. The recommendation was accepted that these <br />stockpiles be maintained in their previous locations. Both of these stockpile <br />areas are located within moderately to relatively densely wooded ground. TOB-3 <br />is on a topographic slope of 12"6 (70) and should not be adversely affected by <br />natural conditions in its planned location. Stockpile II is on a slope of 16Yo <br />(90) situated primarily on a topographic nose. This location is on a marginal <br />surface grade, but the topography presents an offsetting advantage. <br />5.4 Topographic Slope and Geological Dip Relationships with Regard to Ground <br />Stability <br />The area mapped for this project is relatively small and provides a <br />limited number of examples of unstable ground, or• ground that appears to have <br />been unstable in the past. Enough evidence has been obtained to draw some <br />. tentative conclusions as to the relationship between percent of topographic <br />l1 <br />
