• This section presents a timetable for each major phase of the reclamation plan and projected <br />reclamation schedules for the Seneca II Mine permit area and lands under support facilities and <br />structures. Facilities such as roads and sediment ponds that are not approved as elements of the <br />postmining land use plan must be scheduled for reclamation. Additional information regarding the <br />timing of reclamation activities may be found in Tabs 9, 12, and other parts of 13, which discuss the <br />various components of the reclamation plan. Exhibit 13-2 illustrates the backfilling and grading <br />schedule. <br />Timing of Reclamation Activities. A generalized timetable of reclamation activities is shown in <br />Figure 13-1. The timetable outlines the sequence and timing of each major phase of reclamation. It <br />is not possible to specify precisely the timing of each reclamation phase for the following reasons: <br />(1) variables such as customer demand for coal, coal quality, overburden characteristics, and <br />manpower and equipment availability affect the rate of progress of mining activities; and (2) variables <br />such as manpower and equipment availability, weather conditions and season, the availability of <br />materials, and the sequence or rate of mining advance affect the progress of grading, soil <br />replacement, and seeding in the mining area. <br />• <br />• <br />TR-50 13-28 08/09
