<br />~~ 2.05.4 RECLA63ATION PLAN <br />The Peacock Coal Mine has been in existence since appro- <br />ximately 1905. The established bench of the mine if much larger <br />than now deemed necessary, as is the case, generally, with the <br />historically disturbed area. The mine bench was, apparently, <br />established by cutting into the bank and pushing excess soil and <br />rock to the down slope. The down slope is, however, now support- <br />ing substantial cover of native vegetation. As a basic plan for <br />reclamation, the applicant proposes to reestablish a contour to <br />the bench area by pulling down the highwall. The down slope will <br />be left with its present slope, etc. The access road will be re- <br />contoured with material at hard, but without disturbing historic <br />downslope deposits, which have been revegetated. <br />The stockpile and loading area will be graded to reestab- <br />lish the drainage. Topsoil, as needed, will be obtained from <br />other sites. The applicant proposes to begin revegetating por- <br />tions of its disturbed areas, which will not conflict with, con- <br />tinued operation, by the Fall of 1982. The applicant proposes <br />to engage the services of Ferguson Engineers and such other pro- <br />. fessionals, as are necessary, to develop a conplete plan for re- <br />clamation. <br /> <br /> <br />-41- <br />
