After topsoil application and construction of dozer basins, two slope breaks will be created, one <br />at about one quarter of the way down from the top of the cut, and one half way down the cut face. <br />These breaks will be about eight feet wide, and will be inclined into the hillside at about 5 <br />percent, with a two percent grade to the west. Straw bales or silt fence will be erected at the west <br />end of the terraces to minimize sediment loss to adjacent water resources. These slope breaks <br />will serve to intercept water coursing down the refuse pile and transport it to existing drainages <br />further to the west. <br />Upon completion of the slope breaks, silt fence will be installed at the base of the slope for the <br />entire length of the project area. Revegetation, including planting of shrub sediment barriers at <br />the base of the slope, will occur after silt fence installation is completed. <br />Bear Creek Project Area <br />The Bear Creek Project is conceptual at the present time, however, it is anticipated that many of <br />the BMP's incorporated into the Huntsman Project will be utilized in the Bear Creek <br />construction specifications. <br />The base of the Beaz Creek Project area is relatively confined. It is likely that straw bales will be <br />placed at the base of the construction area to prevent sediment laden runoff from flowing off the <br />Project Area during the later stages of construction. <br />Project Area East of Road A and West of the Dutch Creek Flume <br />Two activities are in progress within this area; stockpiling of approximately 7,000 cubic yards of <br />topsoil, and construction of the new Dutch Creek channel. <br />Sediment control will be accomplished at the topsoil pile by placing an earthen berm around its <br />base to prevent the loss of soil. Additional measures, such as placement of silt fence or straw <br />bales will be accomplished if necessary. <br />The Dutch Creek Channel is an approximately 1,200 feet long stream channel being constructed <br />in a north to south orientation within this Project Area. Material excavated from the channel is <br />being used as fill material adjacent to the channel. The fill is not greater than ten feet above <br />adjacent natural ground level, while side slopes adjacent to the channel average 3H:1V, and <br />4H:1 V on the fill slopes facing away from the channel. <br />During construction, sediment control is being accomplished by maintaining an earthen berm at <br />the lowest (northerly) end of the channel. This berm will prevent storm water from discharging <br />into the adjacent Coal Creek until the end of construction. If it is necessary to remove the berm <br />during construction, straw bales will be erected for sediment control. <br />Storm water from the fill material being placed adjacent to the east side of the channel is directed <br />toward the 001 NPDES discharge point permitted by Mid-Continent Resources. This water is <br />passed through straw bales or silt fence prior to discharging into the 001 ponds. The pond <br />
