Conclusicn e area to be disturbed with this will minimize Lt S roject For ease of ermittir~ • eneca i p p . g purposes, the Loral permit a[ea added in this revision was consider_d to b_ disturbed. This, Sn fact, will definitely net be [he case since most of the deadhead routes will only need tc be 60 feet wide. Sere ca also is tr yi rig to co mplete this move before adverse weather conditions start during fall 1956, and to avoid a disruption in stripping plans. Actual Ctaqline MOVe The 650 dragline completed stripping at the Sere ca II Mine cn October e, 1996 and initiated its deadheatl to Yeast cn this same day. The dragline calked across Routt County Road 27 on Surid ay morning, October 13, ar~d reached the drainage under the powerlines later [hat evening. Significant work had to be accomplSShed to lower the boom and replace all the wire ropes to allow the dragline to walk safely under the powerlines without causing damage to the boom. IL crossed under [he powerlines on Eriday afternoon, October 1B, saf el_v and without incident. The 650 reached the Yoas[ mining area on the morning of Octobe[ 22. The move occurred approximately three weeks later than anti ci oared since one additional Wadga pit was stripped, very low overburden, at Seneca II. • Revised Reclamation Schedule and Plans Originally, Se rye ca anticipated that tecLart~ation of the two deadhead roads would be templet ed within three to four weeks followi rig the dragline move. Unfortunately, since the dragline reached the drainage under the powerlines, the weather and subsequent gro~md conditions have not been conducive to proceed or Lo finish the teclama tlon activities on ei Lt,er deadhead road. Since the middle of Cct ober, rain and snow have not allowed the grountl conditions to either dry out or freeze where gtadir,g work could be done in an effective a~a nner. 9ecause cf this, Serer_a is reguesting a delay in completion of these r=clan,=_ticn activities until the string of '_397 to aeproved. °=cause of the existing ground conditions, it does not appear that any grading will occur until after Boring runt.°.
