The specific area for which the delay is sought has been shown on the <br />• Map IV-10A. This area includes all facilities and disturbance <br />anticipated for the Number 9A portals. The "delay" boundary shown on <br />Map IV-IOA may be altered within the disturbance boundary to facilitate <br />minor modifications of facilities and locations. The underground mining <br />will be conducted using a 500 foot barrier from the surface mine except <br />for the five entries of the No. 9A portal. <br />There are no anticipated adverse environmental consequences which will <br />occur as a result in a delay in reclamation of the subject area. <br />Topsoil will be stored in accordance with topsoil removal and storage <br />requirements set forth in the reclamation plan. Sediment control will <br />be achieved through the present approved system. <br />Spoil for the final reclamation will be temporarily stored on the north <br />side of the highwall for the duration of the underground operation. As <br />per the reclamation plan, approximately 240,000 yards of overburden will <br />be used to reclaim the final highwall. This overburden will be sloped <br />• on all sides at an angle of no greater than four horizontal to one <br />vertical resulting in a stable placement of the temporary embankment. <br />Further, in accordance with the reclamation plan, the side slopes will <br />be seeded to ensure stability and protect the overburden from erosion. <br /> <br />
