gallons of water per acre. Drill seeding was done on slopes accessible <br />with drill seeding equipment. On these reduced slopes, straw mulching <br />and tackifying was done at the same rates as the steep slopes. The <br />permanent seed mix was used on the refuse piles and borrow areas <br />where no further access would be needed. In borrow areas and topsoil <br />stockpiles where further access will be needed, the temporary seed mix <br />was used. Approximately 5 pounds per acre of oats was added to these <br />mixes for rapid ground cover. Hydroseeded areas were seeded at double <br />the listed rate for drill seeding. <br />Reclamation of CRDA -2 was completed in 2002. The sediment retained <br />by the drop structures in Coal Canyon was harvested for cover material. <br />Material excavated during construction of the upper diversion ditch was <br />also used as cover material. A small amount of cover material was <br />obtained from CBA -1. Topsoil was obtained from Topsoil Stockpiles 2, 7, <br />8 and 9. Reclamation of CRDA -1 was also completed in 2002 except for <br />leaving the road to CRDA -1 open to accept coal and refuse material from <br />other ongoing reclamation activities. This road was reclaimed as part of <br />CRDA -1 when the last remnants of refuse material was hauled and placed <br />during 2010. Topsoil and some of the cover for this reclamation was <br />obtained from Topsoil Stockpile 4. <br />Final reclamation of disturbance associated with the South Lease <br />Exploration Plan was done in 1985 -1987. Reclamation of the North <br />Decline area was started during the summer of 1991 and completed in the <br />spring of 1993. Refer to Exhibit CIVIC Mining Inc, January 20, 1976 for <br />topography and Exhibits 12C and 28 for North Decline Postmining <br />topography. An area of 18.3 acres which included the North Decline, the <br />water treatment ponds and the storage area was regraded in the spring of <br />1982 and seeded that fall. The Al substation, a powerline between A and <br />Al substations and the water treatment building at the North Decline were <br />removed during the spring of 1993 and minor regrading and seeding was <br />performed. <br />Demonstration that disturbed area sediment controls are no longer <br />necessary at the North Decline is presented in Appendix 14 -12. <br />Reclamation work includes backfilling and grading the two small area <br />exemption sediment traps, reclamation of Pond 7 and installing berm <br />breaks along the permanent channel at appropriate locations to allow <br />reclaimed area drainage to enter the channel. The West diversion ditch <br />#1, East diversion ditches #1 & #2, the 12" CMP and 12" V- ditches that <br />flow to the channel will remain as permanent features as depicted on <br />Exhibit 12C. <br />TR -62 14 -3 Rev 10/11 <br />
