_) ~_ <br />RECLAPIATION DESCRIPTION <br />Rough backf.illing and grading is to be completed within 180 days following <br />coal removal as is discussed in Reclamation Plan description section 2.05.4 <br />of the application. A 15 percent swell factor is anticipa[ecl. Thus if <br />the original thickness was 45 feet (40' overburden and 5' of coal) the <br />resultant rise in elevation after backfilling would be one foot (40' x <br />1.15% = 46'). The approximate original contour can be achieved with only <br />minor changes in Che premining elevations. The location of the temporary <br />overburden stockpiles of the initial box cuts are located on iCem 9 of <br />the application and map 5 of Chis document. <br />Topsoil and subsoil redistribution depths are shown on :nap 8 of the <br />permit application. These depths do not compare to trio premining soil <br />analyses depths as discussed in the Existing Environment Description of <br />this document.
