2.05.3 was added to topsoil stockpile E during the expansion of the coverfill pile during 2003. LJ I • TR-43 ~ PPkov sD q/~~~a6 Pile D Pile E Grand Total Quantity (CY) 4,500 1,600 161,000 A total of 56,800 cubic yards of topsoil was stripped and stockpiled during the construction of the unit train loadout. This quantity results in an average 1.1 foot replacement depth within the disturbed area at the loadout including the disturbance associated with Ponds J & K. The topsoil is stored in topsoil stockpile F. The design of the gob pile in 2003 was a 10-year design. At the time of this writing, in May 2006, the gob pile is nearly full and ready to be reclaimed. To reclaim the entire gob pile, approximately 1.0 feet of topsoil will be placed on the completed construction face. In total, the operator salvaged approximately 50,000 CY of topsoil. Material from the stockpile, new borrow area and the topsoil stockpile will be utilized for reclamation. See Appendix A in Volume IX for material balance details. Topsoil will be stored in topsoil stockpile E as shown on Figure I located in Volume IX. Construction of the drill pad located immediately above the utility bench during late 2004 will the require that approximately 1,000 cubic yards of topsoil be salvaged. The topsoil will be stored in topsoil stockpile "G" which is located on top of the B-Seam portal excess material stockpile. Topsoil stockpiles were and will be constructed to reduce erosion of the stockpiles by either wind or water. The topsoil stockpiles are located on stable surfaces where they will not be disturbed by the mining operation. Topsoil stockpiles that are to remain in place for more than ninety days will be seeded as soon as practical and berms will be constructed around the base of stockpiles where necessary to prevent loss of topsoil material from the stockpiles. 2.05 - 38 - 08/06
