i• <br />• <br />mixes for rapid ground cover. Hydroseeded areas were seeded at double <br />the listed rate for drill seeding. <br />gallons of water per acre. Drill seeding was done on slopes accessible <br />with drill seeding equipment. On these reduced slopes, straw mulching <br />and tackifying was done at the same rates as the steep slopes. The <br />permanent seed mix was used on the refuse piles and borrow areas <br />where no further access would be needed. In borrow areas and topsoil <br />stockpiles where further access will be needed, the temporary seed mix <br />was used. Approximately 5 pounds per acre of oats was added to these <br />Reclamation of CRDA-2 was completed in 2002. The sediment retained <br />by the drop structures in Coal Canyon was harvested for cover material. <br />Material excavated during construction of the upper diversion ditch was <br />also used as cover material. A small amount of cover material was <br />obtained from CBA-1. Topsoil was obtained from Topsoil Stockpiles 2, 7, <br />8 and 9. Reclamation of CRDA-1 was also completed in 2002 except for <br />leaving the road to CRDA-1 open to accept coal and refuse material from <br />other ongoing reclamation activities. This road is within the coal mine <br />waste disposal area therefore it is not a DMG regulated road. The road <br />begins at the west end of Haul Road No. 5 and extends to the top of <br />CRDA-1. <br />Final reclamation of disturbance associated with the South Lease <br />Exploration Plan was done in 1985-1987. Reclamation of the North <br />Decline area was started during the summer of 1991 and completed in the <br />spring of 1993. Refer to Exhibit CMC Mining Inc, January 20, 1976 for <br />topography and Exhibits 12C and 28 for North Decline PostMining <br />topography. An area of 18.3 acres which included the North Decline, the <br />water treatment ponds and the storage area was regraded in the spring of <br />1982 and seeded that fall. The Al substation, a powerline between A and <br />Ai substations and the water treatment building at the North Decline were <br />removed during the spring of 1993 and minor regrading and seeding was <br />performed. _ <br />Upon demonstration that disturbed area sediment controls are no longer <br />necessary at the North Decline, additional reclamation work will include <br />backfilling and grading the two small area exemption sediment traps, <br />reclamation of Pond 7, and installing berm breaks along the permanent <br />channel at appropriate locations to allow reclaimed area drainage to enter <br />the channel. <br />• 14-3 (Rev. 12/02) <br />
