A detailed estimate of the reclamation costs associated with the Fish Creek Tipple is found on Pages 2.05-28 <br />through 2.05-33 of Volume VIII, Fish Creek Tipple/Loadout Appendix. Other bond calculations can be found in <br />• Appendix A, Volume IA. <br />(cl A plan for backfilling. soil stabilizing, compacting, and erading. with nostmining wntoty maps and <br />appropriate cross-sections that are typical and representative of the anticipated character of the final surface <br />configuration of theproposed pemilt area. in accordance with 4.] 4. for sVeam channel reconstruction in accordance <br />with_4.05.4, and for road removal or modification in accordance with 4.03.. <br />RESPONSE <br />Portal Area <br />The rough grading of the spoils at the portal azea will be accomplished by pushing the old spoil into the pit. Dozers <br />will be utilized to cover and rough grade the refuse area with spoil material. The material storage yard will be <br />restored by pushing the fill portion of the yard back into the cut area as shown on Cross-Sections B-B and C-C on <br />Map 25, Surface Area Cross-Sections. The access/haulroad will be regraded by pushing the fill portions into the <br />cut areas. The spoil material will be compacted, graded and stabilized by the equipment used to place the spoil <br />materials. Map 31, Postmining Topography, and Cross-Sections A-A, B-B, D-D, E-E, F-F, G-G, H-H and Y-I on <br />Map 25, Surface Area Cross-Sections, show the final surface configurations in detail. The upland diversions are <br />shown on Map 25, Cross-Sections H-H and Y-Y. The designs for these channels are provided in Exhibit 8-R, <br />Grading operations will be conducted to reestablish an approximate original contour configuration and to avoid the <br />creation of long uninterrupted slopes. Since there are no steep slopes in the proposed permit area, cut and fill <br />terraces will not be installed. Grading will result in an undulating topography, thereby increasing moisture <br />infiltration, reducing runoff potential, and minhnizing erosion. Topsoil will be distributed as shown on Map 29, <br />Reclamation. <br />Portal Slope Heating Svstem <br />Upon completion of mining, the slope heating system will be dismantled and the small associated building will be <br />removed. The concrete pad will remain in place and will be buried during reclamation of the portal area. <br />u <br />TR06-52 2.05-99 02/17/06 <br />
