Surface Facilities
<br />. The surface facilities transferred to TCC and CYCC will be reclaimed per the following
<br />Removing any buildings or structures and then grading the azea to blend with the surrounding topography. Debris
<br />from demolition of the buildings and structures will be buried at the base of the highwall. Topsoil will be applied as
<br />per the amounts and locations shown on Map 29, Reclamation. Likewise, after topsoil redistribution, the areas will
<br />be seeded with the appropriate seed mixture. The re-grading, topsoil, and seeding will be done in accordance with
<br />the plan and applicable regulations.
<br />As shown on Map 29, topsoil from stockpiles SF-1 and SF-2 will be redistributed over the eastern end of the surface
<br />facilities. Topsoil from stockpile SF-3 will be redistributed over the office/bathouse area, portal area, warehouse
<br />area and part of the existing waste rock dump. This topsoil is from the stockpile relocated from the backfill pad to
<br />SF-1. Topsoil from stockpile SF~ will be redistributed in the warehouse area. Topsoil from stockpile SF-5 will be
<br />redistributed in the road corridor. Topsoil from stockpile SF-6 will initially be redistributed over the waste pile in
<br />order to minimize the need to relocate stockpile SF-6 while establishing permanent perimeter drainage control for
<br />the waste pile. The remainder of SF-6 wilt be redistributed over the office area, mad corridor, tipple area, original
<br />waste rock dump, and batch weigh loadout facilities areas. Topsoil from stockpile SF-11 will be redistributed in the
<br />road corridor.
<br />Topsoil from the footprint of the new waste pile area was salvaged and added to topsoil stockpile SF-]2. A
<br />maximum of 154,880 CY was stripped (] 8 inches over the area of the pile) and placed in stockpiles SF-12, 13, and
<br />14. The majority of the topsoil placed in stockpile SF-12 will be redistributed over the waste pile during the
<br />reclamation process, with the exception that offsetting yardage from the waste pile utilization of topsoil pile SF-6
<br />will be used as necessary from SF-]2 to cover the offce azea, road corridor, tipple area, original waste rock dump,
<br />and batch-weigh loadout facilities areas originally slated to be topsoiled from stockpile SF-6. Additionally, specific
<br />. topsoil stockpiles that aze dedicated to a particular disturbance area are identified on the reclamation map. These
<br />stockpiles include SF-9 and ] 0 -railroad tract extension, SF-7 -coal stockpile expansion area, W W'I'F -waste water
<br />treatment facility, RDT-1 - rockdust tank, FCB-1, 2, 3, and FCVF-1 -Fish Creek Borehole area, SSS-1 -power
<br />borehole, and site-specific topsoil stockpiles for the dewatering borehole, ventilation site, 7-North escape shaft,
<br />Northwest Mains ventilation shaft, 18-Right intake shaft, and 6-North Mains ventilation shaft.
<br />Fish Creek Dewaterine Site
<br />The Fish Creek Dewatering Area will be regraded following removal of the facilities. Topsoil stored adjacent to the
<br />site will be spread evenly over the regraded surface.
<br />After the power system of the Fish Creek Dewatering Site is no longer required, the substation will be removed and
<br />the area reclaimed. The reclamation activities for the dewatering boreholes substation include; fence removal, pole
<br />removal, transformer removal, concrete pad removal, topsoil replacement, and seeding. The area will be seeded
<br />with the rangeland seed mixture. The topsoil will be bladed over the gravel, or if the gravel can practically be
<br />recovered and used for road maintenance, it will be removed prior to topsoil placement. Approved permanent
<br />access roads will remain intact for use by the surface owner. During the ] 0-year liability period, TCC will maintain
<br />the road for monitoring purposes. After bond release, the landowner will resume responsibility for the road. The
<br />northern short section (2,500 feet) of the access road will be reclaimed unless otherwise approved by the CMLRD.
<br />Rockdust Tank
<br />After removal of the rockdust tank and cement pad, pit-run gravel surfacing in the truck access/unloading area will
<br />be distributed over the 0.5 acre distwbance area. The area will be ripped before the stockpiled topsoil is reapplied.
