4.3 Reclamation - 5-Year Permit Period and Life of Operation • The overall objective of the reclamation plan is to protect those lands affected by project development from erosion and to restore those lands to beneficial use. The reclamation efforts for the NCIG load out facility, however, will be limited, since the existing industrial property was designed to be used as a loading facility. The intended use of the property by its owner will be restored as required by the lease agreement when the project is completed. A security deposit of 55000 has been posted by NCIG with D&RG. Reclamation will occur at two stages in the project, Post-Construc- tion and Project Completion. Post-Construction reclamation will consist of regrading of the existing gravel after completion of the sediment pond and coal storage area, and seeding and mulching of the berms and sediment pond, as per specifications provided in the • Permit C-89-065, 1990 Revision. No other reclamation activities are anticipated at this stage of the operation. When either the mining project is complete or NCIG is no longer in need of the load out facility, whichever comes first, final reclamation will be started. Final reclamation will include removal of any residual coal from either the storage pad or sediment pond, removal of the storage pad, back filling of the sediment pond, and regrading of the gravel. All "waste" material such as coal and fines from the sediment pond will be trucked to the NCIG mine site for disposal in CMLRD approved sites. The liner will be disposed at an approved landfill. In addition to the items listed above, all signs and markers, office trailer, and portable toilet will be removed. The groundwater monitoring well will be abandoned according to State regulations. Other than restoring the property to its present condition, no other reclamation will be required. • NCIG - Load Out Revision 4-9 ABC/1145/910531 b~sf4-
