are included within the alternative land use area boundary. <br />2.05.4(2-(e) revegetation plan. A plan for establishment of an effective vegetative ground <br />cover will need to be included in the alternative plan. See above discussion regarding <br />topsoiling, and see Rule 4.15.10(21. <br />2.05.4(2)(f) debris disposal. Structural demolition and proper disposal (or burial) of <br />demolition debris, and clean up and proper disposal (or burial) of surficial coal residue will <br />need to be addressed in the alternative plan (see 4.11.4 and 4.14.3). <br />2.05.412)Ig) and Ih). These provisions will need to be addressed to the extent that they <br />differ from the approved plan. If they do not differ, the applicable section of the approved <br />reclamation plan may be referenced. <br />2.05.512-(a) through (d) and 4.16.311) through 15). This is the required plan and <br />demonstrations associated with the alternative industrial or commercial land use. It is very <br />important that the industrial or commercial land use area boundaries be specifically <br />delineated on appropriate maps in the alternative reclamation plan. Specific buildings and <br />facilities that are to be retained for the alternative land use need to be identified and their <br />proposed use described. Specific uses associated with various locations within the <br />designated alternative use areas need to be described and delineated on appropriate maps. <br />2.05.611) through 2.05.6(4-. The alternative reclamation plan should address these <br />provisions to the extent that they differ from the approved reclamation plan. <br />2.06.4, 2.06.5, and 4.27.4. These provisions apply to steep slope mining and they may be <br />applicable if it can be demonstrated that the mine bench area qualifies under the special <br />regulatory category of "steep slope mining". 2.06.5 and 4.27.4 address demonstrations <br />required in order to obtain a variance from the AOC requirements for steep slope mining, if <br />the purpose of the variance is to make the lands affected suitable for an alternative post- <br />mining land use. <br />3.02.312-Icl• This rule requires that, for an industrial or commercial land use, the bond <br />liability period shall continue until the permittee demonstrates that development of the <br />alternative land use has substantially commenced and is likely to be achieved, and until <br />compliance with the revegetation requirement of 4.15.10(2) is demonstrated. We would <br />request that the revision application include proposed criteria for demonstrating that the <br />proposed alternative land use "has substantially commenced and is likely to be achieved", <br />and for demonstrating that "the ground cover of living plants" is not "less than required to <br />control erosion". <br />3.03.113-1e). This is the rule provision that requires maintenance of the bond coverage for <br />the original reclamation plan, until the alternative land use is implemented and the bond <br />amount applicable to the alternative land use areas is released. <br />4.03.211)Ig). If the access road to the portal bench is to be retained, the provisions of g(i) <br />and (ii) will need to be addressed. In addition, the plan will need to address how the <br />highwall associated with the former fan portal adjacent to the road will be reclaimed if the <br />road is left in place. Landowner request and demonstration of need for the postmining land <br />use would also be required under 4.03.3(7) to allow for retention of the light use road <br />extending beyond the RSRDA. <br />4.05. Any modifications to the interim drainage and sediment control plan or final <br />reclamation drainage designs associated with the alternative reclamation plan would need to <br />
