Specifications include, but are not limited to: This project will address open portals filed under the Richard Salyers complaint (LB#). Two portals and a house coal overhang will be closed with wildlife accessible closure structures. An upper portal will be closed using exterior bars and appropriate drainage controls will be installed to prevent erosion of sediment into the portal. Drainage in the area enters the portal, flows through the old mine works, and exists through the lower portal. The lower portal is under KY 1559. We will assess it from a path parallel to the highway. Clear the debris form the portal to allow installation of a 36” diameter dual wall polypropylene (DWPP) pipe and then place pneumatic backstowed pea gravel around the pipe.
