Detailed Design <br />Design Parameters: <br />Type <br />Capacity <br />Slopes <br />Terraces <br />Coal Mine Waste Disposal Area <br />650,000 cubic yards <br />No steeper than 3h:1 v slopes with one 15' wide terrace <br />Slope 5% back towards the pile and 2 to 5% towards <br />collection ditches <br />Compaction 90 percent of the maximum dry density to prevent <br />spontaneous combustion and to provide the strength <br />required for stability of the refuse pile. Dry densities will be <br />determined in accordance with AASHTO T99-74. <br />Haul Road The haul road will begin near the base of the coal preparation <br />plant and traverse south and east across Bowie Road (State <br />Highway 133B) near MM 13.2. The grade of the haul road will <br />vary between 2% and 10% as it declines in elevation from the <br />preparation plant to Gob Pile number 3. <br />Diversion Ditches Flows from the 100-year, 24-hour storm event. Upper <br />diversion ditches are designed to flow into the east and west <br />collection ditches and then into the sediment pond. <br />Subdrainage <br />System <br />Alternate rock under-drain system as per Rule 4.10.3(5). <br />See page 5 Water Control Measures. <br />TR-49 -3- 08/07 <br />A PPRovE,D <br />s/y/-0 1
