2.05, as aze references to other sections of the permit application document which present <br />additional design details. <br />For the currently approved operations, all available topsoil has been salvaged and stored prior to <br />facility construction. Approval of Permit Revision No. 6 permitted a variance from salvaging all <br />of the topsoil at the train loadout coverfill stockpile. However, the vaziance was not needed since <br />there was no excess soil material after construction of the unit train loadout. Salvaged topsoil <br />from the facilities areas was placed in a topsoil storage pile which has a capacity of <br />approximately 270,000 cubic yazds. Topsoil which was salvaged prior to the refuse pile <br />construction was stored in another pile which has an approximate storage capacity of 3,11 I cubic <br />yards. Specific details regarding the topsoil salvage volumes aze presented on Page 2.05-34 of <br />the Bowie No. 2 Mine permit application. <br />Some surface blasting occurred during construction of the facilities. Details regazding the <br />blasting plan are presented within Section 2.05 of the permit application. <br />The Bowie No. 2 Mine is located in areas known to be subject to mass movement processes. <br />Extensive design efforts and regulatory review were implemented prior to the approval of the <br />Bowie No. 2 Mine and during the review of Pemut Revision No. 3. The details regazding the <br />geotechnical aspects of the mining and reclamation plan are presented within Volume VII of the <br />pemut application document. <br />The Bowie No. 2 Mine will be reclaimed to the post-mining land uses of rangeland, wildlife <br />habitat and industrial. The approval of Permit Revision No. 6 added cropland and pastureland to <br />the post-mining land uses. All facilities azeas and some roads will be reclaimed to reestablish the <br />approximate original contour of the land. All portals, shafts and monitoring wells will be <br />backfilled, in accordance with the applicable rules and with the reclamation details provided <br />within the pemut application. Some of the roads which existed prior to mining will be retained to <br />serve the postmining land use. <br />Topsoil will be redistributed on ail disturbed areas. The soils will be tested for nutrient <br />deficiencies, and fertilizers will be applied as needed. <br />Revegetation will be implemented using the'seed mixes approved. Four permanent seed mixes <br />aze approved. One mix will be applied to areas which were identified as Meadow prior to <br />mining, and another seed mix will be applied to the azeas identified as Juniper Woodland and <br />Mixed Shrub communities prior to mining. These two seed mixes, designated as seed mix no. 2 <br />and seed mix no. 3, were revised in Permit Renewal No. 1 to replace several aggressive <br />introduced species with native species. Mulch will be applied at an approximate rate of 4000 <br />pounds per acre. The USDA-FS provided its own reclamation seed mixes for disturbed azeas on <br />USFS lands. One seed mix is for the mountain shrub community and the other is for the <br />aspen/spruce/fir community. The Division had suggested the addition of three forbs into the seed <br />mixes. However, the USDA-FS declined the suggestion. BRL has accepted the USDA-FS <br />reclamation seed mixes, with the knowledge that the reclamation success standazds will still <br />apply. Approval of Permit Revision No. 6 added two new seed mixes into the reclamation <br />18 <br />
