At the west end of the Morgan property, the Bench 1 material from Cut -99B will be stockpiled in <br />non- topsoiled areas of the Morgan property to the east of the mining. This is to ensure that all <br />Bench 1 material excavated from the Morgan property is also backfilled onto the Morgan property. <br />Since the mining cuts on the west end of the Morgan property are the end of mining on the Morgan <br />property, the Bench 1 material from Cut -99B will have to be split between Cut -99B and Cut -98B. <br />This can be seen on Attachment 2.05.4(2)(c) -7. <br />Special Handlino of Bench 1 Overburen on Moroan Prime Farmland Per the request of the <br />Morgan Family and Dave Berry from the DRMS, WFC will special handle "all" the weathered <br />sandstone and shale strata's (Bench 1 spoil) in the 0- 40 feet range of the undisturbed surface <br />back onto the Morgan property. This Bench 1 Spoil will be placed on the upper portion of the <br />finished graded backfill, just under the topsoil lay down zone. This special handling was started <br />June 2010 and will continue just through the Morgan property <br />Thin and Thick Overburden. <br />The New Horizon 2 permit area does not meet the requirements of either the thick or thin <br />overburden as shown by the following calculations: <br />103.96' maximum stripping depth <br />79.93' average overburden <br />7.94' Combined Upper and Lower Dakota <br />At the average stripping depth <br />79.93' overburden <br />+ 7.78' coal <br />87.71' material excavated <br />at 15% Swell <br />1.15 x (79.93) = 91.92 material replaced <br />91.92787.71' = 1.048 of the initial thickness <br />(Revised June 2010) 2.05.4(2)(c) -8 <br />
