III IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII <br />From: Harry Ranney <br />To: Dan Hernandez /OI~7/0 <br />Subj: Reclamation at Coal Gulch <br />The Division's reclamation objectives at the Coal Gulch mine was to: <br />1. Backfill as much of the exposed highwall from the old pit as money would allow. <br />2. Allow natural drainage from the existing gulches to pass through "French" drains at the foot <br />of each gulch. <br />3. Backfill exposed coal seams <br />4. Topsoil and revegetatate the disturbed site. <br />5. Insure adequate treatment for the acid mine drainage from the Victory portal. <br />The objectives of the Division were accomplished, however, due to the excessive size of the rocks <br />in the overburden spoil pile, not as much of the backfilling of the highwall was accomplished as <br />was desired. <br />
