The production standard would be 450 lbs. per <br />acre. <br />The rest of the revegetation provisions of the originally submitted <br />permit revision remain unchanged. <br />Topsoil Salvage Plan <br />After review of: 1) the originally submitted topsoil salvage plan, 2) <br />literature on reclamation efforts by others, 3) previous studies by CWI, <br />and 4) discussions with the Division, CWI agrees to salvage 32 inches of <br />Deleon soil west of East Roatcap Creek. Aa discussed with you, a <br />variance to salvage topsoil east of East Roatcap Creek or for any road <br />construction will be approved. <br />This topsoil salvage plan will permit CWI to redistribute an average <br />depth of 24 inches on disturbed areas at reclamation. CWI studies have <br />shown this ie adequate to support the revegetative efforts necessary. <br />The topsoil would be spread over the unealvaged C horizon of the Deleon <br />soil at the bottom of the fill area and the recompacted material in the <br />cut area. This material would be without coal or large rocks, which were <br />separated during initial construction. <br />
