Specifications include, but are not limited to: The removal of domestic and mine debris, demolition of a concrete structure, removal of a sediment control pond, and regrading of material, which will be graded in a manner that promotes adequate drainage and covers the onsite coal waste. The project site is located in the Rochester Quadrangle at 37° 13’ 3” N, 86° 54’ 18” W. The site is located on Boat Ramp Lane, just off KY 70, approximately 18.6 miles west of Morgantown, near the community of Rochester. The site is immediately adjacent to the Green River and near the Muhlenberg/Butler/Ohio county borders. Reclamation includes the excavation of an area approximately 300’ by 300’ by 8’ deep to bury coal waste material. Once coal waste is placed within the area, it will be covered with a minimum of 4’ of non-toxic, non-combustible material and the site will be graded to promote adequate drainage. For the portion of the area lower than the base flood elevation (404’), the final contour elevations will be equal to or less that the current contour elevations. A pond at the site will be drained and also filled up to the water level with non-toxic, non-combustible material. A concrete structure, a dilapidated trailer, tanks, and additional domestic and mine debris will be removed from the site. Tree cutting and chipping will be necessary to gain access to reclaim bare areas within the site. The project site has been previously disturbed by coal mining operations and/or road construction. These disturbances consist of significant upheaval, mixing, and removal of earthen material from deep excavation, grading, sub-surface drilling, fill material placement, and erosion. There should be no undisturbed earthen material to a depth of several feet at either of the areas slated for significant project-related construction activities.
