construction material stockpile (2.5:1) and the steepness of the outslopes of the <br />coal mine waste pile (3:1) will necessitate a longer haul route, as the scrapers will <br />not be able to travel directly up or down the outslopes of either pile. As such, the <br />Division has created a haul route that it feels is more realistic. The haul distance <br />of this route is 1,000 feet. The Division will leave task 009 as estimated. <br />2. The Division agrees that, since the McClane to Munger haul road was removed <br />from the permit at an earlier date, Task 015, Rip McClane to Munger Haul Road, <br />can be removed. The Division has provided an updated copy of the cost estimate <br />summary sheet with task 015 removed. The indirect costs associated with Task <br />015 have also been removed. Please replace the summary sheet in the McClane <br />estimate with the updated summary sheet (three pages, attached) and please <br />remove the task sheet for Task 015 from the McClane estimate. <br />3. The Division agrees that, since the McClane to Munger haul road was removed <br />from the permit at an earlier date, Task 040, Replace Topsoil from Stockpile to <br />Road from McClane to Munger, can be removed. The Division has provided an <br />updated copy of the cost estimate summary sheet with task 040 removed. The <br />indirect costs associated with Task 040 have also been removed. Please replace <br />the summary sheet in the McClane estimate with the updated summary sheet <br />(three pages, attached) and please remove the task sheet for Task 040 from the <br />McClane estimate. <br />4. The Division does not agree that the haul distance for Task 041, Replace Topsoil <br />from Stockpile to Coal Mine Waste Pile, is overstated. In the Technical Revision <br />16 estimate as well as the 2009 Midterm Review estimate, the Division used <br />1,000 feet for the haul distance for this task. This haul distance is based on a <br />probable haul route, based on Figure 2.2-2, to move the material from the topsoil <br />stockpile to the coal mine waste pile. While the centroid-to-centroid distance <br />from the stockpile to the waste pile may be closer to the 650 feet proposed by <br />McClane, the Division does not believe that the on the ground circumstances <br />warrant this simple approach. The steepness of the outslopes of the topsoil <br />stockpile (2.5:1) and the steepness of the outslopes of the coal mine waste pile <br />(3:1) will necessitate a longer haul route, as the scrapers will not be able to travel <br />directly up or down the outslopes of either pile. As such, the Division has created <br />a haul route that it feels is more realistic. The haul distance of this route is 1,000 <br />feet. The Division will leave task 041 as estimated <br />Please let me know if you have any questions or need any additional information. <br />cc: Sandy Brown w/out attachments
