COMMENT-ON FINAL'RECLAMATION PLAN <br />Map D has been drawn to revise the final contours of the bench <br />area shown on Map F of Hlue Ribbon Coal Company's Permit. These <br />alterations are a result of establishment of a stable bench config- <br />uration at this time, and the decision to use option 2, Page 11 of <br />the Blue Ribbon Stipulation Response, dated February 10, 1983. <br />During construction of the bench, all stripped and presently <br />stockpiled topsoil will be used in the top portion of the cover <br />material. The temporary roads used for access to the fill levels <br />will be graded to the final contour when no longer needed. <br />At the end of the bench stabilization project, the slope below <br />the bench will be in its final configuration and will be revegetated <br />as a shrub community according to plan, as discussed in Section <br />2.05.4, page 111 ff. of the Permit. The fill on the bench will be <br />done as planned at the end of the life of the mine. The fill will be <br />on a slope of approximately 15° to the center of the existing portal <br />highwall, approximately 35 feet. To reduce the potential for erosion <br />over the filled bench below, a drainage channel will be installed <br />across the remaining bench to divert runoff into the drainage to= <br />the north. The channel will be approximately 10 feet wide by 18 inches <br />deep, and on a grade of 2Z. This beach fill will be revegetated as <br />a shrub community, according to the plan discussed in Section 2.05.4, <br />' page 111 ff. of the Pezmit. <br />
