• All of the topsoil in the above listed stockpiles will be used in final reclamation of the last cut. All <br />stockpiles have slopes less than 3H:1V and have been seeded and mulched in the past. All have <br />reasonable vegetation cover and are not experiencing excessive erosion. The runoff from all <br />stockpiles is handled in designed sediment ponds with the exception of a portion of Stockpile K, <br />which is addressed as a Small Exemption Area of 0.5 acres. <br />Topsoil Replacement. Topsoil will be replaced only when the approved postmine contours are <br />achieved and when no additional disturbance is anticipated. Topsoil will not be replaced on <br />temporary reclamation sites such as haul road ditches, cut, slopes and fill slopes, pond <br />embankments and spillways, and diversion ditches. Temporary reclamation sites will be seeded <br />and stabilized as described in Section 2.05.3(2)(e) Revegetation. Topsoil will be replaced within <br />the aforementioned areas once final reclamation is achieved. Topsoil shall be replaced along the <br />contour, whenever feasible, to minimize potential erosion and topsoil/spoil interface slippage <br />problems. This practice will be discontinued on steep slopes where the safety of the equipment <br />operator is in jeopardy. Topsoil which is replaced on mined areas will be scarified on the contour <br />to a depth of 12 to 24 inches with a chisel plow or ripper. The operation of seed bed preparation <br />• will also reduce compaction, increase infiltration, and promote surface roughness. Spoil and <br />topsoil scarification is also discussed in the Seed Bed Preparation section of the Revegetation <br />Plan, Section 2.05.4(2)(e). <br />• (Revised 24 AUG O6) 2.05.4(2)(d)-16 <br />
