Permanent closure measures will be constructed to pre- <br />vent access to the mine workings by people, livestock, fish and wildlife <br />and machinery. <br />The abandonment procedures for the portal areas are as follows: <br />1. A seal will be placed on the portal entries to a point where <br />the overburden is at least three times the height of the <br />coal seam. This seal will be of reinforced concrete of at <br />least 12 inches thick and ke~;ed 12 inches inr_o the coal or <br />to the rock contact. Concrete will be reinforced with a mat <br />of ~ inch rebar, 12 inches in each direction, each face. <br />Grouti^., ~.aill be used if necessary, to provide a more uniform <br />• saal around the coal or rock contact. <br />
