and small rock generated from the construction process, and keep such material from entering <br /> the drainage ditch. <br /> (3) In order to achieve the design slopes, the access road leading to other areas of the Old <br /> Refuse Pile will be excavated and removed. The road segment will be re-established <br /> immediately above (south of) the excavation area on an existing bench. This reconstruction will <br /> take place upon initiation of Task 2, Earth Work. The soil material located within the foot print of <br /> the new road and ditch segment, as described below, will be salvaged for redistribution on the <br /> new road segment immediately upon completion of the road grading operation. <br /> The reconstructed roadway shall meet the following specifications: <br /> The new segment of road shall have no less than eight feet (8') of running surface. The road <br /> surface will be excavated so that a minimum five percent (5%) grade toward the inside of the <br /> road is created. The slope of the road, as measured parallel to its length may not exceed ten <br /> percent (10%). It is anticipated that road excavation will result in the exposure of coal refuse. <br /> Therefore, upon completion of road excavation, a minimum of six-inches (6") of subsoil material <br /> will be placed on the road excavation and compacted in place. A triangular shaped drainage <br /> ditch at least ten inches (10") deep and at least thirty inches (30") wide at its crest will be <br /> constructed adjacent to the inside margin of the road. This ditch will be joined to the roadside <br /> ditches which exist adjacent to the road segments to which the new road will be joined. <br /> North Slope Old Refuse Pile Cut and Fill <br /> In some portions of the project area topsoil has been spread over slopes which are at a gradient <br /> of 2HA V or shallower. The soil in these less steep locations will be salvaged by the <br /> CONTRACTOR, and stockpiled at a location in the vicinity of the Project Area, to be agreed <br /> upon by the PROJECT MANAGER and the CONTRACTOR. <br /> It is estimated that 54,000 cubic yards of coal refuse material will be excavated from the Old <br /> Refuse Pile in order to achieve the specified post construction slopes. Of this volume, <br /> approximately 14,000 cubic yards will be used as fill on the north slope of the Old Refuse Pile <br /> to achieve the design slope. The remainder will be hauled to the disposal area. <br /> At certain portions of the Old Refuse Pile, refuse excavated from one area may be used as fill in <br /> another area in order to achieve the post construction contours. A number of special <br /> construction requirements are necessary for the fill areas. <br /> Fill Requirements <br /> (1) Prior to initiating any fill placement, that portion of the north slope of the Old <br /> Refuse Pile which may receive fill material will be staked in advance of filling by <br /> the CONTRACTOR. Any existing topsoil and vegetative material found to exist <br /> within the staked fill area will be removed until only subsoil material is exposed. <br /> The topsoil and vegetative material removed from the area will be stockpiled at <br /> the location previously agreed upon by the PROJECT MANAGER and the <br /> CONTRACTOR. Upon completion of staking and topsoil/vegetation removal, and <br /> prior to initiating fill operations, the CONTRACTOR will receive approval from the <br /> PROJECT MANAGER to begin fill operations. Fill operations MAY NOT be <br /> 8 <br />
