1. The Roger Combs AML Reclamation Project is planned to disturb up to 1.3 acres, and will consist of the stabilization of a landslide impacting the Roger Combs residential access drive and improvement of existing drainage control structures with the intention of limiting the infiltration of mine-related drainage into the landslide area, in order to slow or stop the further development or expansion of the landslide. The toe of the existing landslide mass will be partially excavated in order to facilitate the placement of concrete "Jersey" barriers and heavy stone backfill for the stabilization of toe of the landslide mass. An existing residential access road ditchline upslope from the landslide will be cleaned, and a culvert installed in order to safely discharge water from this ditchline into an existing hillside drainway, immediately below the residential access drive. Excavated earthen material from the project area will be transported to an existing previously utilized waste area located at the site of a dismantled Title V preparation plant, where the earthen material will aid in final reclamation. The proposed project disturbances will not impact any caves, cave-like habitats, or streams. The implementation and enforcement of standard AML Best Management Practices (BMPs) for Sediment and Erosion Control will prevent any significant amounts of sediments disturbed by project-related activities from entering area streams. A small number of trees may need to be disturbed at the outlet end of the proposed culvert. All areas to be disturbed by this project have previously been disturbed by one or more of residential construction, residential access construction, highway construction and/or coal-mining activities. Revegetation of all disturbed areas will be accomplished via the use of the AML Standard Reclamation Seed Mixture.
