No backfilling, grading, or topsoil replacement occurred during 2008. Permanent reclamation seeding <br />was completed for approximately 17 acres of disturbance associated with the TORT/6MN Transfer <br />Pipeline. In addition, temporary seeding was completed to stabilize approximately 4 acres of <br />disturbance associated with the 6MN Cuttings Pit, yard area, and topsoil stockpiles; and the Thickener <br />Underflow BoreholeThere are several areas on the attached "2008 Annual Reclamation Report <br />Disturbed Acreage" summary that are identified as "Reclaimed". These areas have previously been <br />regraded and stabilized with vegetation, however, TCC has not pursued bond release for these areas <br />due to the potential for re-disturbance in conjunction with required access and site maintenance <br />activities. During 2008, TCC completed noxious weed control spraying for both active and bond- <br />released areas, consistent with the approved Noxious Weed Control Plan (MR06-206), and conducted <br />managed livestock grazing activities on the bond-released areas. <br />Permit approvals during 2008 resulted in an increase in the calculated reclamation liability and surety <br />coverage of $184,073, to a total of $7,875,819, at year-end, summarized as follows: <br />TR07-61, 6MN Mine-Water Storage Reservoir ($35,111) <br />TR07-62, 6MN Mine Water Storage Reservoir Geotechnical Investigations ($150) <br />TR08-65, Stoker Coal Handling Modifications ($32,120) <br />MR07-226, Refuse Pile Expansion Geotechnical Investigations ($2,010) <br />MR07-227, 6MN Temporary Shaft Heater ($2,600) <br />MR08-228, l ORT Dewatering Borehole 2 ($13,301) <br />MR08-229, 18RT Mine Atmosphere Control Boreholes ($15,630) <br />MR08-230, Mine Dewatering Modifications ($14,480) <br />MR08-231, 0-Entry Borehole ($770) <br />MR08-232, 6MN Storage Reservoir Powerline ($8,100) <br />MR08-233, Refuse Pile Clay Staging Area ($59,801) <br />Attached are copies of the standard form (CDRMS) Annual Reclamation Report for 2008.
