tc = [11.9(L)3]0.385 <br /> H <br /> where: <br /> L = hydraulic length = 0.186 miles <br /> H = watershed height = 95 ft. <br /> tc = 0.064 hr. <br /> SEDIMENTOLOGY <br /> The SEDIMOT II computer program was also utilized to calculate the <br /> sedimentology of each watershed using the modified universal soil loss <br /> equation (MUSLE) . Using a density of 87 lbs/cubic foot, 65.46 tons or <br /> 0.035 ac-ft. of sediment will be deposited in this pond as the result of <br /> a 10-year, 24-hour storm. A total of 0.11 ac-ft. or 3.1 MUSLE 10-year, <br /> 24-hour storm event equivalent storage is provided for sediment yield. <br /> Peabody will restore adequate sediment storage to the pond when the <br /> available sediment storage becomes 0.035 ac-ft. or less. <br /> Particle Size Distributions <br /> The particle size distribution for this sediment pond was taken from <br /> Simons, Li and Associates (Design of Sediment Control Measures for Small <br /> Areas in Surface Coal Mining) . This distribution is representative of a <br /> sandy loam soil similar to those described in Tab 9 of the current Nucla <br /> Mine Plan. The inputted soil particle distribution is as follows: <br /> Particle Size Percent Finer <br /> 2.0000 100.0 <br /> 1.0000 100.0 <br /> 0.1000 85.0 <br /> 0.0500 80.0 <br /> 0.0020 20.0 <br /> 0.0001 0.0 <br /> The specific gravity of the soil and the submerged bulk specific gravity <br /> were estimated based on the reference cited above and are 2.5 and 1.25, <br /> respectively. <br /> 7 <br />
