Sediment Disposal Plan <br />During the bonding period, Sun Coal Company will maintain <br />sediment storage pond capacity in accordance with the mine permit <br />application. Since the sedimentation control structures are <br />located below the disturbed areas, moat of the sediment trapped <br />in the structure have the characteristics of topsoil. When <br />sediment structure cleanout is required, Sun Coal Company will <br />excavate sediment from the structure and grade the material in <br />and adjacent to the structure and when necessary revegetate the <br />excavated material using the seed mix designated Sn the permit. <br />If deemed appropriate or as field conditions dictate, Sun Coal <br />Company will dispose sediment in two separate designated sediment <br />disposal areas. Area 1 (Yampa River) is located immediately east <br />of Culvert #1 between the culvert invert and the crusher. The <br />second area is located adjacent to the reclaimed mined area, on a <br />small bench located in the SE 1/4, of the SE1/4, Section 23, <br />Township 6 North, Range 8T West. Sediment will be removed from <br />the traps after the area has had an opportunity to dry out and <br />during the time when minimal impacts to vegetation will occur. <br />
