In order to avoid the confusion created by too many overlapping yearly lines, only the graded areas for each year are shown on Exhibit 19-1, Backfilling and Grading Plan. The facilities including utility lines, haul roads, drainage and sediment control structures, and the dragline erection pad are illustrated on Exhibits 12-2, 13-1, and 13-2, and are described in Tab 13. Reclamation costs are discussed under Tab 25, Bonding. The Tie-Across Haul Road (TAHR) is included in Permit C-1982-057 but the acreage associated (96.6) is separated from the backfill and grading schedule and the reclamation schedule because of the physical separation and the current uncertain fate of the road, due in part to potential future mining in western Routt County that could require the use of this road. SCC proposes that the road be left inplace until the year 2030. Reclamation Scheduline Action Taken • Bonds procured • Sediment Control • Topsoil removed and stored • Rough grading • Final grading (Phase I bond release is ready for implementation) • Spoil sampling Time Period Prior to mine disturbance Prior to mine disturbance Prior to mining excavation Prior to creating 4 spoil ridges or less than 180 days unless approved by variance (see Exhibit 19-1) Per schedule shown on Exhibit 19-1 After final grading is completed and prior to soil replacement in areas shown on Exhibit 6-6 • Postmine Channel Construction • Areas which are severely compacted will be ripped on the contour, and topsoil replaced from stockpiles or direct hauled Permanent channel construction including riprap installation will be completed within one year of completion of the final grading of adjacent backfill slopes, and prior to topsoiling of area adjacent to the channel. Within one year after final grading is completed, provided the area is not required for facilities as described in the Projected Backfilling and Grading Schedule section TR-61 8 Revised 10/08
