Specifications include, but are not limited to: The David and Rose Anderson Drainage AML Reclamation Project is located near Dorton in Pike County at 5955 Dorton-Jenkins Road, Jenkins KY 41537 . GPS coordinates are 37 12' 40.079" N, 82 33' 51.959" W. The citizen and a neighboring residence are being impacted by drainage from an eligible mine immediately upslope. To abate this problem, a combination ditch (12-inch dia. subdrain with 2-foot flat bottom class II ditch top treatment) will be installed on the slope behind the residences to collect mine drainage from the eligible seam. Subdrain will also be installed behind the Terry Mullins residence to collect existing standing water immediately behind the residence. All collected drainage will be routed through subsurface drains to the natural drain adjacent to the site and, ultimately, across the state highway (KY-805) to Elkhorn Creek using existing drains. The disturbance at the project site is expected to encompass approximately 1 acre. Waste generated by construction activities will be transported to an approved waste area approximately 5.8 miles from the project site. The waste site has been previously disturbed by coal mining activities. The project site has previously been disturbed by coal mining operations and residential development. Construction disturbances will be kept to a minimum utilizing the approved Best Management practices prior to beginning any major earth disturbance (excluding initial site preparation for access only) until all silt control measures will be installed. These include but are not limited to silt barriers (bales & silt fence). No trees greater than 3" diameter at breast height will be removed. All disturbed areas (including waste areas) will be promptly revegetated at the end of construction. Cover crop is also included to provide quick vegetative cover on any disturbed areas that will go undisturbed for at least two weeks, but not be ready for application of permanent revegetation. This project does not disturb natural streams, and sediment control will be provided using silt bales and fence.
