together, although they would probably not be reclaimed at the same time, as previously noted. • Reclamation will involve excavation, removal, and salvage or dispose of all of the Elk Creek Culvert except for those portions approved for retention m conjunction with permanent postmining road crossings. The lower portion of the Elk Creek channel will then be reestablished through the mine disturbance azea consistent with approved postmining drainage designs, and remaining disturbance azeas will be regraded to a stable configuration which ties into the existing topography and adjacent reclaimed azeas. Reclamation of these areas will require approximately 123,000 ry of cut and 185,500 ry of fill. The remaining 62,500 ry of excess cut from the Elk Creek Mine Surface Facilities area will be used to meet the cut/fill mateeal balance. The only existing or proposed satellite facility requiring reclamation (other than miscellaneous water and sewage effluent facilities, exploration sites and coalbed methane well sites and roads) is the Substation No. 3 and C-Gulch Ventilation Shaft area. Reclamation of this azea will involve recovery and distribution of approximately 5,000 ry of material from the existing overburden stockpile and regrading of the replaced material to tie into the existing topography. The miscellaneous satellte facilities noted above will generally require minimal grading, which can be accomplished in conjunction with soil material replacement, and will involve a direct on-site cut/fill balance. The fmal postmining configurations for all mine dismrbance azeas aze shown on the Facilities Postmining Topography Maps (Map 2.05-M6, Sheets 1 thru 4). Cuts and fills for final reclamation backfilling and grading aze shown on the Reclamation Cut/Fill Isopach Maps (Map 2.05-ES-Ml). Table 2.05-ES-T2, Reclamation Cut/Fill Summary, provides a tabular summary of the volumes is shown on the Reclamation Cut/Fill Isopach Maps. • • -'~ ECLQMA; .~ ~E 2>f05~E5'~ 2 •U}T,-/F.ILL U M , RY "=Urea r-~*~F ~ ~,. ~,~~s •,c, ~ ~r,~ ~ Cut Etll rx~^te cNet a>"~' '-twffx'i'm°'r Elk Creek Support Facilities and Sanborn Creek Mine Areas and Othar West Valley Fill Areas 123,000 185,500 62,500 Fill Elk Creek Mine Surface Facilities Area 94,500 12,000 82,500 Cut West Valle Fill 14' Suitable Cover) 20,000 20,000 Fill Substation No. 3 and C-Gulch Ventilation Shaft Installation 5000 5000 0 Total 222,500 222,500 0 PR04 Revised November 2001
