• 2-35 <br />In the footprint of the construction material stockpile, topsoil will be salvaged and placed <br />in the topsoil stockpile. The topsoil stockpile, construction material stockpile, sediment pond <br />slope and other associated areas will be seeded with the temporary revegetation seed mix <br />(shown in Table 3.4-2) in the fall of each year they are disturbed. No seeding will be necessary <br />if the piles are not disturbed during the year. <br />A sediment drying area is located adjacent to the sediment pond. Sediment cleaned <br />from ditches and the sediment pond is placed in this pile for drying before the material is hauled <br />to a suitable stockpile. Coal mine waste is also stored in this area. Material that does not have <br />a significant coal component will be placed in the construction material stockpile. The maximum <br />capacity of the sediment drying area is 1,000 cubic yards. <br />The sediment drying area will be expanded late in 2007 or early 2008 as shown so coal <br />mine waste can be stored in the area until a permanent coal mine waste disposal area is <br />permitted and constructed. The capacity of the expanded sediment drying area will be <br />approximately 4,500 cubic yards. The sediment drying area will be removed, and material <br />placed in the coal mine waste disposal area once it is constructed. <br />2.2.31 Coal Mine Waste Disposal Area <br />A new coal mine waste disposal area was to be constructed in 2009. A cultural resource <br />• issue has delayed the construction of the disposal area at least one year. The total new <br />disturbed area of the coal mine waste disposal area will be approximately 4.75 acres including <br />required stockpiles, and sedimentation controls. The capacity of the refuse disposal area will be <br />approximately 38,000 CY. The goal is to salvage approximately 10,000 CY from excavating the <br />foundation of the pile for placement and storage in the construction material stockpile to ensure <br />there is adequate material for final reclamation. <br />In the interim, before construction of the new waste disposal area at the McClave <br />Canyon Mine, the Operator will haul some or all of its coal mine waste from its drying area to <br />Snowcap Coal Company's Cameo Refuse Disposal Area No. 1 (CRDA-1). Geochemical data <br />for the Operator's coal mine waste is included in Tables 2.1-4, 5 & 6. The Operator was <br />approved to dispose of coal mine waste from the McClane Canyon Mine at the CRDA-1 pile in <br />2001. <br />2.2.4 Access Control Features <br />Existing fences and signs will be used to control access to the permit area. All signs will <br />be of standard design, using durable material that can readily be seen and read in accordance <br />with appropriate regulations. The signs will not be removed until after release of all bonds. <br />Access to and from Colorado Highway 139 will be in accordance with safety <br />requirements of the Colorado State Highway Department. <br />• MR-47 W-Volume 1 (Rev 10/14/09)
