Anticipated new disturbance associated with the reopening operations at the loadout <br />is limited to 0.2 acre associated with construction of haul road number two. This <br />proposed disturbance is within the Disturbed Land, Topsoiled mapping unit. HGTL <br />will salvage all suitable topsoil prior to construction of this haul road. <br />Topsoil replacement will occur at the conclusion of the operation once facilities have <br />been dismantled and the land recontoured to blend with the surrounding topography. <br />Structures that will remain following reclamation include Routt County Road 37 and <br />U.S. Highway 40. The right-of-ways along these roads account for 3.3 acres and will <br />not be topsoiled. <br />No specific approvals are being granted concerning topsoil removal, storage and <br />redistribution. <br />V. SEALING OF DRILLED HOLES AND UNDERGROUND OPENINGS <br />Information regarding sealing of monitoring wells may be found in Tab 23, <br />Attachment 23-3 in the permit. All groundwater monitoring wells, water supply wells, <br />etc, which are a part of the operation will be reclaimed. <br />The Division will require that each hole, well or other underground opening be <br />capped, sealed, backfilled, or otherwise properly managed (4.07.3). <br />VI. USE OF EXPLOSIVES <br />No explosives will be stored or used at the HG loadout. <br />VII. DISPOSAL OF EXCESS SPOIL. <br />There will be no spoil material generated by the proposed operations at the HG <br />loadout. <br />VIII. COAL MINE WASTE <br />There will be no coal mine waste generated by the proposed operations at the HG <br />loadout. Crushing and sizing operations will be conducted at the loadout but all coal <br />will be loaded onto trains or trucks and transported away from the site. <br />Z3 <br />
