• The industrial site has a base composed of clay and rock material as <br />well as access roads leading in and out of the siding. The base as well <br />as the access roads will remain as part of the post-mining use of <br />industrial site. <br />Coal Waste Material <br />All coal waste material will be removed from the site. The coal waste <br />material will be loaded onto highway legal trucks and hauled off-site, <br />or loaded onto railcars. <br />Backfilling and Grading <br />The topography of the Town Loadout facility is extremely flat. This is <br />shown graphically on Figure 1, Town Loadout Facility Location. The <br />operation of the Loadout facilit,K_has created no highwalls that modify <br />• the topographic relief patterns. As a result, there will be no <br />backfilling and grading involved in the reclamation plan other than <br />minor smoothing to eliminate sediment control ponds, small collection <br />ditches, or miscellaneous rough spots. <br />Redistribution of Topsoil <br />Topsoil was not salvaged during the construction phases of the Town <br />Loadout facility. Initial construction was performed prior to May 3, <br />1978. However, during the construction of the drainage and sediment <br />control system, topsoil was salvaged from the pond and ditch areas and <br />stored in the topsoil stockpile shown on Figure 1, Town Load Facility <br />Location. Approximately 3,000 cubic yards of topsoil was stockpiled. <br />The topsoil stockpile is within the drainage and sediment control <br />system, and any runoff that occurs passes through this system. After <br />the minor grading is completed over the pond and ditch areas, the <br />topsoil will be redistributed over the area. Topsoil will be <br />. redistributed with front end loaders, dozers, and graders. Care will be <br />taken to keep unnecessary equipment off the redistributed topsoil. <br />-4- <br />
