requirement is Sncluded as Item 5 of the Topsoil duality Control Program presented in • Volume 7, Tab 9, Attachment 9-4, Page 9-41 of Permit C-BO-005. Historical soil replacement thickness information for the 1984 through 1992 reclamation blocks is presented in Table 9- 9-3, Attachment 9-4, Tab 9 of Permit C-80-005, the Second, Third, and Fourth Annual Topsoil and Spoil Monitoring Reports for the 1987, 1988, and 1989 field seasons, and the Annual Reclamation Reports IPCC, 1988; 1989; 1990; 1992; PWCC, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997(. Topsoil replacement depths for the 1998 field season are presented in Table 98.2, [he average topsoil replacement depth for the 1998 Wolt Creek pIt area is 12.4 inches based on 25 samples taken on a 500 foot slant grid. Some sample numbers are skipped because those points fell outside of the 1998 replacement area. Soil Balance Seneca submitted the final soil balance as Technical Revl Sion No. 31 on June 26, 1997 as the final reclamation - topsoil management plan for Seneca II. Subsequently, the CCMG approved this final topsoil ma nagemenC plan on December 9, 1997. Hence, no soil balance will be submitted with any further Annual Reclamation Report. • Soil Salvage, Storage and Replacement So11 salvage (disturbance) areas and soil stockpiles sites as of December 31, 1998 are shown on Exhibit 9-3a, from the 1995 Annual Reclamation Report. Topsoil stockpile volume information is presented in Table 98.1. Approximately 175.8 acre-feet of soil remained In stockpiles as of December 31, 1998. Using scrapers 174.3 aces of topsoil was replaced during 1998, see drawing 5298-4 A. The soil was removed Erom stockpiles O, T, AA, BB, LL and 00. Stockpiles T, AA, BB, and 00 were completely redistributed in 1998. Soil Redistrlbut ion Thickness Updated SCC will follow the final reclamation - topsoil management plan approved in TR-31 for the remainder of the Seneca II Mine life, since iT covers all of the remaining disturbed lands which need [o be topsoiled.
