The cuttings will be soaked in a nearby water source for a week, and then be transplanted into <br /> trenches hand dug by the Crew. The trenches will generally be constructed perpendicular to the <br /> gully length, and be nine inches wide by nine inches deep. The cuttings will be placed in the <br /> trenches, and the trenches will then be backfilled by shovel and compacted by foot. <br /> It is estimated that construction of the sediment control structures will require one week of Crew <br /> time. <br /> Coal Basin Watershed Improvement Project <br /> Project Timeline <br /> DATE TASK <br /> July 7-11 ♦ Setup camp <br /> ♦ Organize Equipment and Supplies <br /> ♦ Tour Site <br /> ♦ Training <br /> ♦ Begin tree/shrub planting at Mine #4 area <br /> July 14-18 ♦ Continue tree/shrub planting <br /> ♦ Education Seminars begin <br /> July 21-25 ♦ Continue tree/shrub planting <br /> ♦ Construction of erosion control structures <br /> July 28-30 ♦ Complete project <br /> ♦ Project and camp site clean-up <br /> ♦ Appreciation Event <br /> Teamwork <br /> Successful completion of the proposed project is dependent upon team work and interpersonal <br /> cooperation. For example, while some team members are planting trees, other crew members <br /> will be preparing the trees for planting, or perhaps installing the sun shades. Certain efficiencies <br /> are gained by splitting the planting effort into two or three sub-tasks so that the overall project <br /> goals are accomplished by all. <br /> Fulfilling Statutory Requirements <br /> The DMG is statutorily charged with protection of the hydrologic balance in and near coal <br /> mining operations. Sediment generation as a result of mining related erosion has been identified <br /> as a contributory factor regarding water quality concerns within Coal Basin. Completion of the <br /> project will directly impact the erosional processes in the Basinby helping to disperse the surface <br /> flow of runoff water, hold soil particles in place and trap sediment, thus helping to reduce the <br /> impacts to local water quality as a result of mining related activities. <br /> 7 <br />
