Miscellaneous Areas Miscellaneous disturbed areas, which exist on the BTU EC site will also be reclaimed. These areas include, but are not limited to: the No. SA powder magazine, various rock-dust tanks, various light-duty • roads, and drainage and sediment control ponds and ditches, which cannot be reclaimed until revegetation success has been achieved. All structures and facilities associated with these areas will be removed from the site, including all scrap mining material. The areas will be regraded to the approximate original topography. The best available plant-growth media will be used to cover the regraded areas to approximately 6 to 12 inches. The areas will then be revegetated to the appropriate land-use as shown on the Reclamation Plan Map (Map 29). All areas will be straw mulched at a rate of two tons/acre. Multiple Services Building Reclamation of the Multiple Services Building and 100,000 gallon water storage tank will involve removing these facilities from their respective sites. Grading, topsoiling and seeding are discussed under the SA portal and red-rock crusher sites, which these facilities are located. Permanent Roads/Roads All of the roads, except those shown on Map 29, will be removed upon completion of mining and reclamation activities. The road surface will be ripped and road embankment materials will be graded to blend with the surrounding topography, topsoiled, and seeded with the appropriate seed mixture. The permanent roads will be reduced in width and the shoulders ripped and seeded. The permanent roads • will have a top width of approximately 20 feet. When the roads are narrowed, road surfacing materials will be pulled in from the sides of the roads, increasing the depth of these materials and improving the permanent road surface. All permanent roads fall within the footprint of a haul or access road. The current design requirements for these classes of roads will dictate that a • TR07-34 2.05-31.3 10/31 /07
