Surface Facilities The surface facilities transferred to TCC and CYCC will be reclaimed per the following Removing any buildings or structures and then grading the area to blend in with the surrounding topography. The buildings and structures will be buried at the base of the highwall. Topsoil will be applied as per the amounts and locations shown on Map 29, Reclamation. Likewise, after topsoil redistribution, the areas will be seeded with the appropriate seed mixture. The re-grading, topsoil, and seeding will be done in accordance with the plan and applicable regulations. As shown on Map 29, topsoil from stockpiles SF-1 and SF-2 will be redistributed over the eastern end of the surface facilities. Topsoil from stockpile SF-3 will be redistributed over the office area, portal area, warehouse area and part of the existing waste rock dump. This topsoil is from the stockpile relocated from the backfill pad to SF-l. Topsoil from stockpile SF-4 will be redistributed in the warehouse area. Topsoil from stockpile SF-5 will be redistributed in the road corridor, Topsoil from stockpile SF-6 will initially be redistributed over the waste pile in order to minimize the need to relocate stockpile SF-6 while establishing permanent perimeter drainage control for the waste pile. The remainder of SF-6 will be redistributed over the office area, road corridor, tipple area, original waste rock dump, and batch weigh loadout facilities areas. Topsoil from stockpile SF-11 will be redistributed in the road corridor. Topsoil from the footprint of the new waste pile area was salvaged and added to topsoil stockpile SF-12. A maximum of 154,880 CY was stripped Q 8" over the area of the pile) and placed in stockpiles SF-] 2, ] 3, and ] 4. The majority of the topsoil placed in stockpile SF-12 will be redistributed over the waste pile during the reclamation process with the exception that offsetting yardage from the waste pile utilization of topsoil pile SF-6 will be used as necessary from SF- 12 to cover the office area, road corridor, tipple area, original waste rock dump, and batch weigh loadout facilities areas originally slated to be topsoiled from pile SF-6. Additionally, "clouds" have been placed around those topsoil stockpiles dedicated to a particular disturbance area. Those stockpiles are SF-9 and ] 0 -railroad tract extension, SF-7 - coal stockpile expansion area, WWTF -waste water treatment facility, RDT-1 - rockdust tank, FCB-1, 2, 3, and FCVF-1 -Fish Creek Bore Hole area, and SSS-1 -power borehole. Fish Creek Dewateriug Site The Fish Creek Dewatering Area will be regraded following removal of the facilities. Topsoil stored adjacent to the site will be spread evenly over the regraded surface. After the power system of the Fish Creek Dewatering Site is no longer required, the substation will be removed and the area reclaimed. The reclamation activities for the dewatering boreholes substation include the following: fence removal, pole removal, transformer removal, concrete pad removal, topsoil replacement, and seeding. The area will be seeded with the rangeland seed mixture. The topsoil will be bladed over the gravel, or if other gravel is needed for road maintenance, it will be removed and placed on the appropriate section of land. Approved permanent access roads will remain intact for use by the surface owner. During the ]0 year liability period, TCC will maintain the road for monitoring purposes. After bond release, the land owner will resume responsibility for the road. The northern short section (2500 feet) of the access road will be reclaimed unless approved otherwise by CMLRD. Rockdust Tank ` After removal of the rockdust tank and cement pad, the pit run gravel of the truck access/unloading area will be dispersed across the .5 acres of disturbance. The area will be ripped before the stockpiled topsoil is reapplied. MR 01-173 2.05-101 9/19/01
