• TCC has constructed coal handling facilities in a manner that minimizes erosion and water pollution. The Emission Permits contained in Exhibit 2 require the implementation of prudent dust control measures to ensure compliance with Rule 4.17. The dust control measures include but are not limited to; 1) water spray bars to maintain specific minimum surface moisture content in the coal stockpiles; 2) restricted vehicle speed; 3) watering unpaved roads; 4) removal of mud, dirt, and coal deposited on paved roads and; 5) revegetation of topsoil stockpiles. See the Emissions Permits in Exhibit 2 for additional dust control measures. Sedimentation control structures such as a pond and diversion ditches were constructed prior to other facilities. At the conclusion of the use of the loadout facilities, all such facilities and structures will be removed, and the area will be graded to the approximate original topography as shown on the Post- Disturbance Topography Map (Map 10). Any haul road access road or other miscellaneous road no longer needed for some future use will be reclaimed. Roadbeds will be rounded and shaped to conform with the adjacent terrain and to fit the adjacent natural drainage restoration standards. At the completion of this regrading, the roadbed will be scarified, • topsoil will be applied, and revegetation completed. The haul road section that extends from the office access road to the coal pad has asphalt and gravel road surfacing which is incompatible with revegetation. During reclamation this material will be placed in the disposal area presented on Figure 2, page 2.05-Sb. The main haul road, from old State Highway 133 to the office access road, will be left as a permanent access to the Terror Creek property. As this road will be a permanent access to the property, topsoil replacement, stabilization, and revegetation was accomplished on side slopes and associated disturbed areas when construction was completed. This road will be left in an as-is condition. No realignment, width reduction or resurfacing will be performed. The road location as shown on the Post-Disturbance Topography Map (Map 10) will connect old State Highway 133 with the access road to the office/house located on Terror Creek property. The final grading in all areas will be done along the contour unless site specific slope conditions would cause a safety hazard to the equipment operator. The final surface configuration will approximate the overall pre-disturbance topography. All disturbed areas will blend in with the undisturbed areas adjacent to the aFfected area. . 2.05 - 9R Rev. 10-13-95
