constructed traps, installed additional water control structures, and revege- <br />• tated reclaimed areas. Map 8 depicts the completed haul road reclamation <br />design. <br />Coal fines in areas adjacent to crusher area, south of the access road, <br />were removed and disposed in the pit prior to backfilling. Subsequent to this, <br />the graveled surface on the roadside south of the bridge was removed and <br />transported to the former crusher area (Map 8) where it was used to surface <br />this portion of the haul road. <br />Topsoil -Haul Road and Facilities Area <br />The "A" horizon topsoil from the haul road area was removed in 1976-1977, <br />segretated, and stockpiled for protection from erosion and contamination. A <br />total of four topsoil storage areas existed along the haul road. Quantities <br />• stored in the respective areas were estimated at 13,000 cubic yards near the <br />shop area, and a total of 6,000 cubic yards in three piles along the haul road <br />(Map 8). Topsoil stockpiles were not moved until required for distribution on <br />prepared areas. Topsoil was distributed in selected areas at an estimated depth <br />of 6 to 9 inches and fertilized with nutrients as outlined in the revegetation <br />plan. Disturbed topsoil stockpiles were graded to blend with the existing <br />topography, fertilized, and revegetated with the Bench seed mixture (Table <br />2.05.4-2). <br />Revegetation - Haul Road <br />The revegetation plan developed for selected areas on the haul road using <br />the Bench seed mixture (Table 2.05.4-2) was designed for livestock and wildlife <br />use and to control soil erosion. <br /> <br />- 339 - (Rev. 5/86) <br />
