The <br />proceedures are as follows: <br />1st Step <br />- Cleaning and Grubbing <br />- Top soil removal <br />- Diversion Ditch installation <br />- Overburden preparation (Drilling and Blasting) <br />- Overburden (Spoil) removal <br />- Coal Loading <br />- Coal Hauling for 1st cuter ~ ~.~.o ~o~. <br />-Leave 5 feet barrier w <br />2nd Step <br />- Overburden preparation (Drilling and Blasting) <br />- Overburden removal <br />- Coal Loading <br />- Coal Hauling for 2nd cut <br />- Auger if Permitted <br />3rd Step <br />- Remove overburden material from temporary over• <br />burden stockpile and/or Thumb area to backfill <br />the final pit. <br />- Compact overburden material in and above auger <br />holes.
