Powerlines (Replacement Power Poles and Fiber Optic Line) - PSCM will construct required <br />power distribution lines within existing road easements, where feasible to minimize disturbance. <br />Where it is necessary to construct new lines outside existing road easements, PSCM does not intend <br />to develop new roads for line construction or maintenance. Line construction equipment will <br />minimize surface disturbance by driving overland to pole locations, with construction activities <br />scheduled to take advantage of favorable ground conditions. In the event that surface disturbance is <br />unavoidable, available soil materials will be windrowed to the side, prior to disturbance, with the <br />soil being pulled back over the disturbed area and reseeded on completion of construction activities. <br />There have been approximately 9,100 feet of replacement powerline constructed. <br />Powder Magazines — Two (2) powder magazines have been placed near the PECOCO <br />Embankment Road. They are metal /wood lined and measure 16'xl2'x10' and 12'x8'x8'. These <br />structures will be barricaded and have a distance of at least 50' between them. The pad for the <br />magazines will measure 150' by 75'. Topsoil will be removed from the pad site and stockpiled then <br />fabric will be placed on the ground along with gravel to help control weeds. Weeds will be <br />controlled as outlined in PSCM's Weed Management Plan. The pad will also be surrounded by a <br />12' chain link fence. The location of the magazines can be seen on Map 2.05.3 MIA, Mine <br />Facilities Map (South End). To access these magazines, a small access road will be built. This will <br />be the PECOCO Embankment Road and can also be seen on Map 2.05.3 MIA. <br />Spoil Water Dewatering Well — A dewatering well will be constructed on the north end of the coal <br />stockpile pad. The purpose of the well is to reduce the water inflow into the future underground <br />mine workings. An access road will be constructed to a 150'x100' drill pad with a cuttings pit. <br />The hole will be approximately 90' deep and the diameter will be between 18" to 36" depending <br />upon ground and drilling conditions. Once drilling is complete, a concrete pad (20'x10'xl') will <br />be poured and a small, metal structure will be constructed to house the pump and well opening. <br />The access road will be left in place after drilling is completed to facilitate maintenance on the well <br />and pump. The pump will be capable of producing up to 150 GPM depending on water depth <br />within the well. The water from the well will be piped to the upper smart ditch above the portal and <br />flow into the lower sump. These structures were constructed to have excess capacity than is <br />necessary by design. <br />MR -11 2.05 -17 Revision 8/12 <br />
