surface sub-soil and weathered overburden matenaLs may be suitable az a soil substitute or to <br />supplernent the available soil resources. Use of these materials az soil substirutes or supplements has <br />been approved by DMG contingent on testing to verify suitability, az described in Section 2.05.4, <br />Reclaration Plan. Potential suitable material borrow areas are shown az excess cut areas on the <br />Reclamation Cut/Fill Isopach in the Mine Reclamation Material Balance (Exhibit 2.05-ES). The <br />volume of suitable borrow material utilized az soil substitute or supplement will be determined <br />operationally during reclamation based on both material testing and operational requirements. Based <br />strictly on the general objettive of assuring that approximately 6 inches of suitable material are <br />available az a surficial revegetation medium on all disturbed areas, the maximum additional volume of <br />suitable material required for the Elk Geek Coal Handling, Support, and Ancillary Facilities area u <br />estimated at roughly 14,000 cubic yards. Given that existing surficial materiak over much of this area <br />maybe suitable, the actual volumetric requirement maybe significantly less. <br /> <br />
