This work will include maintanence on the west refuse pile collection ditc <br />segment of the south refuse pile collection ditch. In addition EFMC will construct tempor <br />Helen Mine Raw Coal Stockpile area and in the adjacent 'boneyard' area above and to <br />reduce the contribution of sediment laden runoff from these areas.
