A Cat D10 dozer will be utilized to rough grade disturbed areas and a <br />Cat 16G grader will be used for final grading. Backfilling and grading <br />operations will be conducted to blend disturbed areas with the adjacent <br />terrain and to avoid the creation of long uninterrupted slopes. Since <br />there are no steep slopes in the proposed permit area cut and fill <br />terraces will not be installed. However, grading will result in an <br />undulating topography designed to achieve approximate original contour, <br />increase moisture infiltration, reduce runoff potential, compliment the <br />drainage patterns of the adjacent area, and minimize erosion. Final <br />graded areas will be surveyed to insure establishment of the most <br />moderate slopes practicable. <br />Specifically, the haulroad shall be graded to conform with the <br />surrounding topography by pushing fill materials into cut slopes, once <br />road surfacing materials are removed and disposed of in accordance with <br />Rule 4.11.1. Following removal of the tipple facility and the disposal <br />of all non - salvageable materials at the Foidel Creek Mine waste rock <br />disposal area (Minor Revision of October 1985), the disturbed area will <br />be graded so as to blend with the adjacent landscape. <br />The final surface configuration for the proposed permit area is shown <br />on Map 11, Fish Creek Tipple Postmining Topography. A comparison of <br />the existing topography to the pre- and post - disturbance contours is <br />provided on Map 12, Premining and Postmining Cross Sections. <br />Stabilization Plan <br />The physical properties of the overburden /spoil within the proposed <br />permit area will tend to stabilize the regraded surface. As discussed <br />under Rule 2.04.9, coarse fragments constitute a large percentage of <br />the graded spoils adjacent to the Fish Creek Tipple area. These <br />consolidated materials generally remain intact for several years. <br />2.05 -34 Revises 04/13/88 <br />
