Lateral drains were constructed as discussed under the Stability Analysis <br />Section in Lambert and Associates report dated November 10, 2003. Lateral <br />drains consist of a toe drain and bench drains as show on Figure 4 of Lambert=s <br />report. Bench drains will be constructed on 50-foot vertical centers or at any <br />damp spots encountered in the coal mine waste disposal area founding. See <br />Figure 2 for the layout of the lateral drains. No damp spots were encountered. <br />The lateral drains are not in hydraulic communication with the rock under-drains, <br />since they might inadvertently permit the infiltration [Rule 4.09.1(13)] of water. <br />See the detail on Figure 1 which shows how the lateral drains will be isolated <br />from the rock under-drains. <br />The run-off and collection ditches are shown on Figure 2. Run-off from the <br />benches will be directed to the east and west to collection ditches. The east and <br />west collection ditches D-F4, and D-F11 are; 1) lined with riprap to ensure they <br />are stable; 2) constructed off the fill and; 3) designed to safely pass the run-off <br />from the 100-year, 24-hour precipitation event. Upon completion of the gob pile, <br />it the East Diversion and West Diversion Ditch #2 will be lined with the rip rap. <br />Temporary upper diversion ditches and the east and west collection ditches were <br />constructed prior to placement of coal mine waste. During construction of the <br />pile, a bench configuration will be maintained at the contact point between the <br />coal mine waste and the natural ground surface. Thus, run-off from above the <br />pile and below the upper diversion ditches will be directed to the east and west <br />collection ditches by the temporary benches. The temporary benches will be <br />configured the same as the permanent benches. <br />See Appendix B for detailed design information of the run-off and collection <br />ditches. <br />n <br />TR-61 -6- 04/09 <br />PPr2a ueo <br />6 / 19/a 9
