9. Conclusions <br />Overall, the plans presented above do the best to: <br />1) reclaim as much of the highwall as possible using all reasonably <br />available material, <br />2) provide for long term backfilled slope stability, <br />3) regrade, resoil and revegetate all areas to be compatible with <br />the post- mining land use, <br />4) handle drainage in the safest, most practical way possible and <br />minimize erosion. <br />The highwall remnants should not be regarded as major impacts to <br />the environment. As previously stated, natural and near vertical, <br />unvegetated slopes exist throughout the area. Once the reclaimed <br />areas are revegetated, the relatively flat grassy areas will be <br />unique and welcome to both wildlife and stock animals. <br />As a professional engineer with 15 years of experience in <br />construction, coal mine reclamation and slope stability, I certify <br />that the report herein was prepared by me and that it is accurate <br />to the best of my knowledge and belief. <br />4 ) (b 4 `V/V9y <br />
