Grading work would be suspended during late September and personnel <br /> involved with seeding of the Sutey pile and portal benches #5, #4 and #3, and of <br /> areas disturbed during portal sealing and as borrow areas. <br /> Assuming structures are not removed from Mines #1 and #2 bench areas during <br /> 1993, the foundations will not be available for portal sealing. We might then <br /> take material to push down the portal openings from the outer perimeter of the <br /> benches, as that is our general reclamation plan in any case. The foundations <br /> would then be placed against the cut and used as fill. <br /> 1994. <br /> Early season. <br /> Complete grading at the raw coal storage areas, glory hole bunker site and <br /> overland conveyor route. Topsoil as required. <br /> We would need the overland conveyor taken down, the conveyor removed from <br /> the raw coal reclaim system, and the culverts either removed or cut at ground <br /> level (if MLRD will allow it). <br /> Complete coverage of the old refuse pile with topsoil (estimated 3 acres to be <br /> covered). This could be done, or partially done, in 1993. The consideration is <br /> that the ponds on the old pile may need cleaning during the summer, and it's <br /> less expensive to place the pond cleanings on the old pile. <br /> When roads are accessible, grade Mine Roads #3, #4 and #5 (assuming fans <br /> and structures have been removed, portals filled, grading completed at these <br /> portal areas), cut off culverts, install rolling dips and water bars. <br /> Remove powder magazines. <br /> If/when structures are removed from Mines #1 and #2, grade these benches. <br /> Seal openings as fans are removed. <br /> If time allows, and structures and fans have been removed from the #1 and #2 <br /> portals, begin road reclamation of road to Mine #1 &#2. <br /> Seed areas reclaimed. <br /> 1995. <br /> Complete portals/roads which remain to be done. <br /> Reclamation Schedule <br /> 3 <br />
