The water quality of the wetlands should not be affected by the minor amount of run- <br />off they receive from the drainage swale and surrounding areas. The wetlands have <br />been receiving run-off for a number of years. Some of the wetlands were created by <br />run-off and depend on run-off to maintain wetland characteristics. <br />The 30-inch diameter spillways will be partially reclaimed. The 90 degree bends and <br />attached skimmers will be removed. A cap as shown on Figure 14-16 will be placed <br />on both ends of the two spillway pipes. The upstream (inside the loop) spillway pipes <br />will be covered with the pond backfill material. The two 30-inch pipes will be left in <br />place with removable caps so they can be used in the future to support the industrial <br />land use. The pipes may be used in the future to bring utilities into the rail loop or to <br />pump water into or out of the rail loop. <br />A - 15 foot high "berm" will be left in place west of the reclaim tunnel to screen some <br />of the structures from 1-70. Remaining coal and coal remnants over the entire rail <br />loop disturbed area, including along ditches, sediment pond inlet areas, the SAE <br />bermed area along the toe of the rail outslope near the loadout structure, and any <br />other locations where coaly material has accumulated, will be hauled to the refuse <br />disposal area. The concrete from footers and stemwalls will be buried in place with a <br />minimum of 4-feet of cover or hauled to an offsite disposal area. <br />The existing roads on site will remain in use and functional until which time they are in <br />conflict with any proposed structures and/or serve no useful purpose. <br />Access road 1A located at the South Portal, constructed as part of the reclamation <br />process, "borrowed" material from the UTL area. The material came from the linear <br />stacker embankment. <br />The alternative sedimentation control berm located northeast of the loop will be left in <br />place since the vegetation on the berm is established and the berm will continue to <br />provide sediment control for a portion of the track. <br />The restoration of the essential hydrologic function of the unit train loadout area is <br />discussed on pages 21-6 and 21-7. <br />The old home site foundation, orchard remnants and the dense stand of 20-30 foot <br />high cottonwood trees adjacent to the old home site will be protected to the extent <br />practicable during the grading process. <br />TR-59 14-9ii (New 08/09)
