In some instances, the mining will cause the drainage area to change <br />during the life of the sediment structure. When the pi~ moves into the <br />watershed, runoff will be intercepted by the pit and diverted away from <br />the structure. In these cases, a conservative procedure was used; the <br />structure was analyzed for the largest anticipated drainage area that <br />will contribute runoff to the structure. This condition usually occurs <br />at the start of mining and again during the reclamation period. <br />Following is a summary of the SEDIMOT II input values used in the Design <br />Report and the As-Built Report (see the Design Report for the derivation <br />of the input values): <br />10-Year, 24-Hour = 1.60 inches <br />25-Year, 24-Hour = 1.80 inches <br />100-Year, 24-Hour = 2.40 inches <br />SCS Type II Storm <br />CN = 82 <br />k = 0.25 <br />Disturbed Hydrograph (No. 1) <br />• tc = 0.078 hr. <br />(1) MUSLE = 0.024 ac-f t, or 46,41 tons <br />Specific Gravity = 2.5 <br />Submerged Bulk S.G. = 1.25 <br />LS = 2.09 <br />CP = 1.0 <br />The particle size distribution for this sediment pond was taken from <br />Simons, Li and Associates (Design of Sediment Control Measures for Small <br />Areas in Surface Coal Mining). This distribution is representative of a <br />sandy loam soil similar to those described in Tab 9 of the current Nuc1a <br />Mine Plan. The inputted soil particle distribution is as follows: <br />Particle Size (mm) Percent Finer <br />2.0000 100.0 <br />1.0000 100.0 <br />0.1000 85.0 <br />0.0500 80.0 <br />0.0020 20.0 <br />0.0001 0.0 <br />3 <br />
