Reclamation <br />When the pile is filled to capacity, the top of the fill will be graded 2% to 5% to <br />the south to promote adequate drainage. Drainage and collection ditches will be <br />cleaned and rehabilitated as necessary. Final reclamation will include placing <br />40,000 cubic yards of cover material and 60,000 cubic yards of topsoil, and <br />removal of the conveyor. Revegetation will be in accordance with Volume I, <br />Section 2.05.4. The Pasture seed mix will be utilized on the slopes and top of <br />the coal mine waste disposal area. The Irrigated hayland seed mix will be ~ <br />utilized on the remaining area. <br />The seed mixture(s) will be hydroseeded or broadcast seeded. Seedbed <br />preparation for the coal mine waste disposal area shall consist of mild <br />roughening by track hoe gouging (pocking). Roughening provides for increased <br />moisture retention and favorable micro sites for plant establishment. <br />Roughening will not be utilized where the irrigated hayland seed mix is used. <br />Mulch will not be applied to the vegetated pasture or hayland. These areas will <br />be irrigated as necessary to establish vegetative growth. <br />The postmining land use of the subject area is cropland and pasture. The final <br />configuration of the coal mine waste disposal area is suitable for the pasture <br />postmining land use. <br />TR-45 - 10 - 10/06 <br />
