trucks and scrapers over the entire width of the embankment. This procedure will be <br />continued until no visible horizontal movement of the embankment material is apparent. <br />Embankment layers will be compacted to a minimum of 90 percent of Standard Proctor density <br />or as directed by the engineer to ensure that the embankment is adequate to support the <br />anticipated volume of traffic and weight and speed of vehicles to be used. <br />Material will be placed in an embankment only when its moisture content is within <br />acceptable levels to achieve design compac ti an. <br />Temporary erosion control measures (ditches, berms, straw dikes, silt fence) will be <br />utilized during embankment construction to minimize sedimentation and erosion until ~~~ <br />permanent control measures can be established. Immediately upon completion, measures will <br />6e taken to stabilize all embankments with vegetation cover or other means es approved by <br />the regulatory authority to minimize erosion. where a vegetation cover is used, <br />consideration shall be given to providing an appropriate grouch medium. <br />Drainage. Each access road not within areas disturbed by mining and reclamation <br />activities will be designed, constructed and maintained to have adequate drainage using <br />ditches and culverts to safely convey the peak runoff from a 10-year, 24-hour <br />precipitation event while maintaining a minimum of one foot of freeboard to the top of the <br />road embankment (see Exhibit 13-10 for typical details of drainage structures). <br />Drainage ditches will be placed at the toe of ell cut slopes formed by the construction of <br />haul roads. 4ater will be intercepted before reaching a large fill and drained safely <br />away in accordance with the requirements of 4.03.1. water from a fill will be released <br />below the fill through conduits or in adequately lined channels and will not be discharged <br />onto the fill. <br />when road ditches discharge onto open terrain, a number of measures will be taken to <br />protect the terrain from erosion. Peabody will utilize measures es revegetation, ripra p, <br />straw dikes, end silt fence to protect the terrain from erosion. when the road ditch <br />discharges onto an area disturbed by road construction, the terrain will be revegetated to <br />control runoff. In en area where revegetation would not be sufficient to control erosion, <br />the area will be riprapped. Temporary measures to reduce erosion (straw dikes, <br />containment ditches, silt fences, etc) will be employed while the area is undergoing <br />revegetation such as straw dikes, containment ditches, etc. <br />32 Revised 04/24/91 <br />
