(5) TOPSOIL <br />The topsoil material in the vicinity of the disturbed area has been mapped by Department of,4griculture, • <br />Soil Conservation Service personnel. A description of the various soil horizons has been provided by I:he <br />Soil Conservation Service and is presented in Exhibit 12, Soils Information. <br />All topsoil material which will be disturbed by surface support facilities at the Golden Eagle Ivtine will be <br />removed prior to disturbance in that area. Existing and proposed topsoil locations are presented on Map <br />10, Surface Facilities and Roads. BRI currently plans to disturb only additional area as required far <br />placement of coal processing waste as shown on Map 111, Surface Facilities and Roads, during the term of <br />the permit. Topsoil handling and storage for the expansion of the disposal area is addressed in Exhibit 17, <br />Disposal Area Design. Particular care will be taken to ensure that topsoil material is removed prior [o the <br />disturbance of the azea. <br />In response to Stipulation I5, Map 10, Surface Facilities and Roads, has been revised to show which <br />horizon(s) have been stockpiled in TSl and TS2. TSI contains A material while TS2 contains B and C: <br />material. These will be marked as such in the field. <br />Topsoil piles TS 1 and TS2 will be used to reclaim the Coal Processing Waste Disposal Area. The area <br />will first be covered to a depth of three (3) feet with subsoil material from the previously disturbed area <br />behveen the slope belt and the refuse pile. The outslope will then be covered with material from TS2 (B & <br />C horizon material). The refuse surface will be then covered with A horizon material [o the extent <br />available. The area will be covered to an average depth of four feet with a minimum of one foot of topsoil. <br />Where sufficient subsoil material is not available, additional topsoil may be used to achieve cover <br />Topsoil pile TS~3 will be used to reclaim the area of disturbance from reclamation of Pond 5. Subsoil <br />material stored in the pond embankment will be spread over the disturbance to return the area to <br />approximate original contour. Topsoil from TS4 will then be spread over the area to a depth of <br />approximately one (I) foot. <br />Topsoil pile TSS will be used to reclaim the Longwall Substation area. This area will be covered with <br />approximately six (6) inches of topsoil. Any remaining topsoil will be spread over the area disturbed by <br />the Diesel and Rockdust Service Drops, SAE's 4, 5, and 6.. <br />Remote Topsoil piles created during construction of the Thud North Intake Shaft. The North Bleeder 1'an <br />Shaft, and various Degas Well Sites will be transferred to Stroud Oil for reclamation of these areas upon <br />termination of Stroud's use of these facilities for industrial Use (methane gas recovery). <br />• <br />2.05-10 (Permit Renewal &a~=~-n 3/31/00) <br />~i N ~3 <br />
