will be placed in the stockpile that will be established on the fan pad. In addition to the topsoil stockpiled <br />from the road extension, approximately 740 cubic yards will be salvaged and stockpiled from the pad. The <br />soil resources information was derived from information presented in Exhibits 7 and 8, Soil Profile <br />Description, and Soil Mapping Unit Descriptions, respectively, and Map No. 19, Mine No. 3, Soils, <br />presented in Permit C-84-062. These materials are incorporated herein by reference. <br />At the bleeder fan site, TCC will establish a test pit to verify topsoil depths prior to salvaging topsoil. The <br />stockpiled topsoil, which is located within the pad azea, will be stabilized with the topsoil stockpile <br />stabilizing seed mixture. Prior to salvaging any topsoil from the site, a T&E species reconnaissance for <br />Ute Lady's Tresses, S~iranthes diuvialis, will be conducted, and the results forwarded to the Division. It is <br />not anticipated that this species will be found, as the site appears to be outside of its natural range. <br />18 Right Ventilation Shaft (TR04-44) <br />Approximately 4,400 feet of the access road crosses upland areas, with the remaining 2,700 feet crossing <br />lowland areas where road construction will involve removal of any large vegetation and stripping and <br />stockpiling of other vegetation, topsoil, and organic materials. Similarly, the shaft pad is located in an <br />upland area. Given an average topsoil depth of approximately 6 inches in the upland azea and a total road <br />disturbance azea of approximately 5.7 acres, approximately 4,600 cubic yards of topsoil will be salvaged <br />from the road corridor, and 2,000 cubic yards from the 2.5 acre pad azea. Prior to initiating topsoil removal <br />activities, stream wetland buffer zones will be marked with identifying signs to prevent surface disturbance <br />within buffer zone azeas. The topsoil from the road corridor will be windrowed adjacent to the road and <br />topsoil from the pad area will be placed in a stockpile adjacent to the shaft pad and within the road <br />corridor, for future reclamation use. The topsoil salvage volumes are indicated on Table 49A. Seeding <br />with the topsoil stockpile stabilization seed mixture identified on page 2.05-121 will stabilize the <br />windrowed and stockpiled topsoil. <br />6-North Mains Utility Boreholes (MROS-198) <br />The shaft pad is located in an upland area, therefore, construction will involve removal of any lazge <br />vegetation and stripping and stockpiling of other vegetation, topsoil, and organic materials. Given an <br />average topsoil depth of approximately 6 inches in the upland area and a total pad disturbance of roughly <br />0.92 acres, approximately 740 cubic yards of topsoil will be salvaged from the pad area. Prior to initiating <br />topsoil removal activities, wetland buffer zones will be marked with identifying signs to prevent surface <br />disturbance within the buffer zone areas. The topsoil from the pad area will be placed in a stockpile within <br />the shafr pad on the up-slope edge of the pad for future reclamation use. The topsoil salvage volumes are <br />indicated on Table 49A. Natural vegetative materials (mulch) incorporated into the topsoil, and seeding <br />with the topsoil stockpile stabilization seed mixture identified on page 2.05-121 will stabilize the <br />stockpiled topsoil. <br />MROS-198 2.05-84.2 08/29/05 <br />
