TABLE 11-B-1
COAL BASIN TUNNEL PROJECT
RECLAMATION SCHEDULE
OF ROADS AND ASSOCIATED WORK AREAS
SUMMER 1979 Face Up
FALL 1979 Reclamation of face-up areas
FALL 1980 Tunnel drilling starts
FALL 1986 Tunnel completed to No . 1 Mine
1986 Tunnel completed to No . 2 Mine*
1987 Completion of conveyors, drainage systems, power
systems, bins, shops, offices and bathhouse facilities .
1986 to 1990 Partial revegetation of mine portals and
associated roads, No . 1 and No . 2 Mines; the actual
work at the portals will begin with general clean up of
non essential materials . The ventilation fans, power
lines and associated equipment and shelter required to
maintain this equipment will remain. The areas of the
tunnel refuse pile not in use will be reshaped, topsoil
added; and grass, shrubs, and trees planted in the
fall. (i.e. , the fall has proven by experiment to be
best time to plant. ) The roads will be reduced from
Haul Roads to Light Use Road classification. (See
November 26, 1979 Coal Basin Road Drainage report . )
The present width of 50' to 60' would be reduced to 30 '
to 40 ' . The outside ditch will be brought out into the
road and the cut slope allowed to slough. Grading
material from the road will be allowed to collect on
the outside as a permanent berm in areas not designated
for snow removal . These areas and the cut slopes will
then receive intensified revegetation efforts -- i. e. ,
heavier mulch and seed mixtures .
FALL 1988-92 Cuts and berms if stabilized will be planted
with shrubs and trees .
1987-92 The tunnel will be extended laterally (on the strike)
from No . 1 Mine to No . 3 Mine.
*Actual construction time will depend on mining conditions encountered .
