<br /> <br />VI. RECLAMATION REPORT <br />The following information is submitted to comply <br />with Rule 2.04.13 and Stipulation N17 of the current <br />permit. <br />During 1992, no additional acreages were disturbed, <br />backfilled and graded, or topsoiled. <br />There have been 133 acres seeded since 1985 of 424 <br />acres disturbed. No additional areas were planted <br />or reseeded and no reclamation areas were augmented <br />in 1992. <br />• <br />A topographic map showing contours at 5' intervals <br />was taken in December of 1992 and is included at the <br />back of this report. Cross-sections on 100' <br />intervals were plotted from which cut and fill <br />differences were calculated. From these <br />cross-sections, an estimated 524,000 cy of material <br />were hauled (from long-term spoil) to B-Pit. B-Pit <br />is within 50,000 cy from long-term spoil of being <br />filled to ash grade. The dragline was used to <br />remove the exposed bench on the west side of B-Pit <br />and to remove the virgin clay to be used as a <br />liner. The dragline is finished with this project <br />and is being prepared for long-term inooeration. <br />The major dirt work to prepare B-Pit for ash <br />disposal is complete. <br />The mass balance calculations estimate the amount of <br />long-term spoil to remain in place and not used to <br />be 1 million cubic yards. It is estimated that the <br />void left in B-Pit is 1.5 million cubic yards to <br />minus 2' AOC. The A-Pit void is approximately .5 <br />mil. cubic yards. These voids will eventually be <br />filled with ash and part of the long-term spoil will <br />be used as cover for the ash. <br />RECLAMATION SUMMARY <br />• <br />Long-term spoil amount <br />B-Pit void amount <br />A-Pit void amount <br />The long-term spoil pile was <br />reduced the slope of the pile <br />minimize any erosion problems <br />1,017,346 cy <br />1,458,981 cy <br />495,117 cy <br />excavated in a way that <br />This action should <br />on the long-term spoil. <br />Page 9 <br />
