Topsoil Pile Name <br />Type of <br />Volume (CY) <br />Location <br />Topsoil <br />TOTALS <br />"326000 <br />All of the topsoil in the above listed stockpiles numbered A through K will be used in final <br />reclamation of the area east of 2700 Road. This includes the area of the overburden stockpile, <br />the haul road, the BB Detour Road and some other minor disturbance. All stockpiles have <br />slopes less than 3H:1V and have been seeded and mulched in the past. All have reasonable <br />vegetation cover and are not experiencing excessive erosion. The runoff from all stockpiles is <br />handled in designed sediment ponds with the exception of a portion of Stockpile B, which is <br />addressed as a Small Exemption Area of 0.5 acres. There is adequate topsoil in these piles to <br />perform the required placement in these areas according to the thicknesses shown on Map <br />2.05.4 -4. <br />All of the topsoil in the above listed stockpiles numbered 1 through 13 will be used in final <br />reclamation of the area west of 2700 Road. The topsoil balance shown in Table 2.05.4(2)(d) -6 <br />demonstrates how these stockpiles and the volumes from those areas yet to be stripped are <br />sufficient to provide the required placement in these areas according to the thicknesses shown <br />on Map 2.05.4 -4. <br />10.0 General Topsoil Replacement <br />Topsoil will be replaced only when the approved postmine contours are achieved and when no <br />additional disturbance is anticipated. Topsoil will not be replaced on temporary reclamation <br />sites such as haul road ditches, cut, slopes and fill slopes, pond embankments and spillways, <br />and diversion ditches. Temporary reclamation sites will be seeded and stabilized as described <br />in Section 2.05.3(2)(e) Revegetation. Topsoil will be replaced within the aforementioned areas <br />once final reclamation is achieved. Topsoil shall be replaced along the contour, whenever <br />feasible, to minimize potential erosion and topsoil /spoil interface slippage problems. This <br />practice will be discontinued on steep slopes where the safety of the equipment operator is in <br />(Revised October 2009) 2.05.4(2)(d) -38 <br />
