material will be used on approved permanent roads or used as fill material for final grading of the highwall and <br />facilities areas. The geo -grid will either be used for other road projects or disposed of, depending on its condition <br />at the time of reclamation. The geo -fabric will be disposed of as solid waste. An appropriate seed mixture will be <br />• used for revegetation of the road corridor. <br />The wetlands area will be re- vegetated with vegetation native to the area as determined in the wetlands delineation <br />performed for this project. The total area of wetlands disturbed by this project will be approximately 0.01 acres. <br />Upon reclamation of this roadway, TCC will seed a wetlands area of at least -030 acres.to =satisfy the U.S. Fish and <br />Wildlife's request for a 2:1 mitigation of wetlands area disturbed by the crossing. <br />The design for the Batch Loadout Haulroad has been revised to reflect that smaller equipment will be used to access <br />the Batch Loadout for periodic cleanup of coal spilled from train cars. The revised design includes using 10 -ton <br />dump trucks as opposed to the 100 -ton trucks covered in the original design. The revised design is presented in <br />Exhibit 48 -2. The original design will be kept active in the event it larger trucks are required the road would be <br />upgraded to the previously approved design. <br />The revised design calls for a top width of 24 feet, which is 6 feet less than the original design. The construction <br />process will be the same as previously approved. Topsoil may be protected in one of two ways: 1) salvaging and <br />stockpiling at the site, or 2) placing fabric over the top of the topsoil and then building, the road over the fabric. <br />After topsoil protection has been completed the road will be constructed as per the approved plan. <br />3G. Loadout Stockpile/Refuse Pile Access Road <br />An access road was constructed to provide bulldozer access from the loadout stockpile area to the waste pile area during <br />construction of the refuse disposal area. The road will tie the southwest side of the loadout stockpile to the northwest <br />end of the waste pile, following an abandoned road -cut in the hillside above the loadout stockpile for approximately 100 <br />feet, then will continue uphill for approximately 300 feet and cross the waste pile perimeter ditch section RDA-le into <br />the waste pile area (see Map 24). The access road was designed and constructed in accordance with the design <br />• requirements of Rule 4.03.2. The design and certification is presented in Exhibit 25N, Refuse Pile North Access Road. <br />Topsoil was removed and stockpiled in accordance with Rule 4.06. The area proposed for the 300 -foot access road <br />section required stripping of approximately 16 inches of topsoil from a 30 -foot wide area. Approximately 444 cubic <br />yards of topsoil was removed from this section and placed in Topsoil Stockpile SF -8. The lower 100 -foot section of <br />access road is located in a disturbed area where topsoil has been previously stripped and stockpiled. <br />Construction of this access road was completed in accordance with the specifications detailed in Figure 22, Access <br />Road Typical Sections. Surfacing consists of a 12 -inch sub -base of 6 -inch minus pit -run rock surfaced with a two - inch <br />layer of hh-inch crushed rock. The access road crosses the waste pile perimeter ditch in section RDA -1 c with a 40 -foot <br />long 18 -inch CMP culvert installed at the crossing. Culvert sizing and installation is in accordance with Rule 4.03.2(4). <br />Road drainage was directed to the west end of the road and into Ditch D -1. <br />Reclamation of this access road will occur after the road is no longer needed for its intended purpose, and will include <br />removal of the culvert, ripping of the road surface, topsoil redistribution, and revegetation. Topsoil will be redistributed <br />over the road area and the area seeded with an appropriate seed mix during the first available planting period. <br />4. East and West Ramps to Portal Area <br />The east and west ramps to the portal area were constructed in accordance with permit C- 056 -82, approved April <br />16, 1984. Locations may be found on Map 24, Surface Facilities. Profiles and cross - sections may be found on <br />Map 30, Road Profiles and Cross Sections. Overall grade does not exceed 10 percent. <br />17A <br />TR06 -55 2.05 -74.1 07/26/06 <br />
