18 Right Ventilation Shaft (TR04-441 <br />Approximately 4,400 feet of the access road crosses upland azeas, with the remaining 2,700 feet crossing lowland <br />areas where road construction will involve removal of any large vegetation and stripping and stockpiling of other <br />• vegetation, topsoil, and organic materials. Similarly, the shaft pad is located in an upland azea. Given an average <br />topsoil depth of approximately 6 inches in the upland area and a total road disturbance area of approximately 5.7 <br />acres, approximately 4,600 cubic yards of topsoil will be salvaged from the road comdor, and 2,000 cubic yards <br />from the 2.5 acre pad area. Prior to initiating topsoil removal activities, stream/wetland buffer zones will be <br />mazked with identifying signs to prevent surface disturbance within buffer zone areas. The topsoil from the road <br />corridor was initially windrowed adjacent to the road and topsoil from the pad azea was placed in a stockpile <br />adjacent to the shaft pad and within the road comdor, for future reclamation use. As a result of concerns related to <br />protection of windrowed topsoil from erosion and contamination, a decision was made to recover topsoil from the <br />windrows and place it in stockpile. The topsoil salvage volumes are indicated on Table 49A. Seeding with the <br />topsoil stockpile stabilization seed mixture identified on page 2.05-121 will stabilize the windrowed and stockpiled <br />topsoil. <br />6-North Mains Ventilation Shaft (TROS-481 <br />Along the 2,930-foot access road, construction will involve removal of any lazge vegetation and stripping and <br />stockpiling of other vegetation, topsoil, and organic materials. Similarly, the shaft pad is located in an upland area. <br />Given an average topsoil depth of approximately 6 inches in the upland azea and a total road disturbance area of <br />approximately 2.4 acres, approximately 1,940 cubic yards of topsoil will be salvaged from the road corridor, and <br />8,954 cubic yards from the 11.1 acre pad area. Prior to initiating topsoil removal activities, wetland buffer zones <br />will be mazked with identifying signs to prevent surface disturbance within the buffer zone azeas. The topsoil from <br />the road corridor will be recovered and placed in a stockpile at the north end of the road corridor beyond the edge <br />of the 35-foot road disturbance azea, and topsoil from the pad area will be placed in a stockpile within the shaft pad <br />on the southwest edge of the pad for future reclamation use. The topsoil salvage volumes are indicated on Table <br />49A. Natural vegetative materials (mulch) incorporated into the topsoil, and seeding with the topsoil stockpile <br />• stabilization seed mixture identified on page 2.05-121 will stabilize the stockpiled topsoil. <br />• <br />MR07-223 2.05-84.3 10/03/07 <br />
