A2: Yes. The contractor shall lime and disc the material before it is applied to backfill the highwalls on Sheet 5.

Q3: Is there an NPDES permit needed for this site?

A3: No. There is an active NPDES permit for this site.

Q4: Do we need to put existing highwalls that were backfilled by the coal operator back to a 2:1 slope?

A4: No, all areas highlighted in the plans as “Top surface area to be regraded” will not have to be put back to 2:1 slope. Some slopes may need to be adjusted based upon field conditions.

Q5: Where does the material come from to back fill the highwall on page 7?

A5: The material needed to back fill the highwall on page 7 will be hauled up from excavated area found on pages 9 and 11.

Q6: Can you break down the 200,000 cubic yard volumes down?

A6: Adjustments were made during preparation of this addendum resulting in revised earthwork quantities required for the total project. The total excavation for the whole project is 124,062 cubic yards and is summarized. Please note the excavation quantities for this project are included in Line Items 17 and 18 and exclude back fill volumes.

On plan sheet A to back fill the highwalls will require 5,680 cubic yards.

On plan sheet A the proposed excavation is 5,590 cubic yards.

On plan sheets B and C to back fill the highwall will require 81,030 cubic yards.

On plan sheet D to back fill the highwalls will require 3,800 cubic yards.

On plan sheets B, C and D, the total excavation proposed which will be used to backfill the highwalls shown on these sheets plus construction of Access Road 1 is 93,382 cubic yards.

On plan sheet E, the total excavation proposed which will be used the highwalls shown on sheets E and F is 31,200 CY.

On plan sheets E and F to back fill highwalls will require 25,000 CY.

Q7: There is a dirt road at the end of the highwall found on Sheet 7. Will that road need to remain open?

A7: No, once the highwall has been backfilled, access to the road will be eliminated.

Q8: Will we be cleaning the ditches and sumps on the existing assess road?

A8: Yes, the contractor will be responsible for cleaning the existing ditches and sumps as shown in the plans. The cost associated with cleaning the ditches and sumps are included in Line Item 5 Road Maintenance Permit S-5027-08.

Q9: Will the contractor have to do any work on the access road between route 52 to the mine site?

A9: At this time no required maintenance is anticipated. However, if the road begins to deteriorate because of project related traffic, maintenance repairs may be required using incidental stone to ensure continued access. Such repairs and use of incidental stone will be under the discretion of the DEP representative on site.

Q10: Is the access road that connects route 52 to the project site a private road?

A10: The access road was permitted by the coal operator for the purpose of accessing the site and hauling coal.

Q11: Can you provide the engineers’ estimate?

A11: The engineer’s estimate for this project is $1,978,350.64

Q12: Where does the regrade area stop on Sheet 9 of the plans?

A12: The limits of regrading on Sheet 9 are defined by the proposed contours shown in the plans.

Regrading is to transition and tie into existing grades at the outermost proposed contour lines as depicted in the plans.

Q13: Is the fill slope above access road one 0.3:1?

A13: The fill slope above access road 1 is now 1:1 above the ditch on Access Road 1as shown in the revised plans.

Q14: Are there enough yards of material on Sheets 9 and 11 to backfill the highwall on Sheet 7.

A14: Yes, the material quantities shown on Sheets 9 and 11 indicate that sufficient material is available on site to backfill the highwall as proposed. Actual quantities may vary depending on construction methods, placement and field conditions. Any significant deviation from the proposed grading plan would require review and approval from the WV DEP representatives associated with this project.

Q15: Will we need to keep the treatment tank filled and running during construction?

A15: The contractor will not be responsible for maintaining chemical treatment during construction.

Q16: Where will the excavation for Ditch 5 start?

A16: Ditch 5 will start at the intersection of Ditches 6 and 7 as shown on Sheet 11and will flow towards Pond 2A to the location shown on Plan Sheet 7.

Q17: What will we be back filling on page 11?

A17: The section of highwall to be backfilled is identified on Sheet 11 Plan Sheet Area D. An updated Plan Sheet 11 showing the location of the highwall to be backfilled is included in this addendum.

Q18: Do you want the contractor to tie Ditches 6 and 7 into Ditch 5 grade?

A18: Ditches 6 and 7 will tie into Ditch 5.

Q19: Which ditches are to be constructed of limestone?

A19: Ditches 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 will be constructed of limestone. The new sediment ditch to be constructed found on page 15 will also be constructed of limestone. Ditches 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 may be constructed using limestone or sandstone.

Q20: Will we be paid for excavation of ditch 11?

A20: The cost of excavation of Ditch 11 will be included with the construction cost of line item 37.

The cost of excavation for all ditches is incidental to construction.

Q21: What do we do with the large rocks and boulders found lying around on the valley fill on page

13?

A21: Large rocks and boulders found on page 13 should be broken down and used in the highwall back fill. Larger rocks and boulders shall be broken down so that they are no larger than 3 feet in any dimension.

Q22: What are the limits of back filling on area F?

A22: The limits of backfilling in Area F are shown on Plan Sheet 15 and Cross Sections 13-13 and

14-14 on plan Sheet 16.

Q23: Will we have to backfill the entire highwall leading to area F? Where will backfilling stop?

A23: Only the sections of highwall shown with the regrade contours will have to be backfilled. There is a section of highwall beside the access road that connects Areas E and F. That section of highwall will not be backfilled during this project so that access can remain open.

Q24: Where will the new sediment ditch outlet?

A24: The new sediment ditch will outlet at the same location as the existing sediment ditch as shown on Sheet 15 Plan Sheet Area F.

Questions e-mailed to Procurement:

Q25: Is there a geotechnical report?

A25: There is no geotechnical report.

Q26: What is the lime feed rate for liming and discing the coal stockpile area?

A26: The amount of granular lime being proposed is 20 tons. However, the full amount being proposed may change once excavation of material starts. It is not anticipated that the total amount may not be required.

Q27: The plans call for limestone or sandstone for the ditch linings. Is limestone required for any of the ditches? If so, which ones?

A27: Refer to the answer for question 19.

Q28: Some of the areas that are shown on the plans to have the top surface area regraded are too steep and/or rocky to regrade and track. Is the intent of this item to regrade the erosion gullies and track the areas that are suitable to operate a dozer on or will regrading of the areas that are too steep and/or rocky to operate a dozer on be required.

A28: The intent is to regrade the areas which have erosion or gullies. The areas which appear to be too steep will now be regraded with backfill material as shown in the revised plan sheets.

Q29: Are stone and fabric required under the earthen berm on Access Road 1 as shown in the details?

A29: Stone and fabric will not be required under the earthen berm on access roads.

Q30: How are the 0.3 to 1 slopes above the roadside ditches for Access Road 1 to be stabilized? If they are to be seeded, do we have to warranty that?

A30: The fill slope above access road 1 is now 1:1 above the ditch on Access Road 1as shown in the revised plans.

Q31: Will all excavation used for highwall backfilling be measured for payment or is any of it incidental to ditches?

A31: The excavation of material used for backfilling highwalls is included in Line Items 17 and 18.

The excavation of material used to construct ditches will be incidental to construction of the ditch to the top of the freeboard level.

Q32: How will the contractor access the upper end of the site for construction and maintenance once Access Road 1 and Channel 5 have been constructed?

6-1 REVEGETATION

1.0 DESCRIPTION

This work shall include all operations incidental to the establishment of vegetation cover within the limits of construction as shown on the Project Plans and any other areas directed and approved by the Engineer. This work also includes the furnishing and the application of fertilizer, agricultural limestone and mulch, the furnishing and sowing of seed, and the installation of erosion control products, all in accordance with these Specifications as designated herein.

No areas outside the limits of construction shall be disturbed without prior approval from the WVDEP in order to ensure that Right-of-Entry has been obtained.

Any areas disturbed by the Contractor outside the limits of construction shall be revegetated with all costs attributed to the Contractor and at no expense to the

WVDEP.

Evidence of the fertilizer, lime, and seed mixture types and amounts must be available for inspection by the Inspector at time of use.

1.1 MATERIALS

A. Fertilizer

1. The commercial fertilizer to be used shall consist of 10-20-20 grade of uniform composition and furnished in standard containers. These containers, in accordance with applicable State and Federal laws, must be clearly marked with the following information:

a. Weight

b. Name of Plant Nutrients

c. Guaranteed Nutrients Percentages

2. Fertilizer shall be immediately applied at a minimum rate of 1,000 lb./acre to all areas reaching final grade by one of the two following methods:

a. Apply and incorporate fertilizer during seedbed preparation.

b. Apply fertilizer in hydro-seeding mixture following seedbed preparation.

B. Limestone

The lime to be used will be an agricultural grade pulverized limestone containing a minimum of 75% total carbonates or calcium carbonate equivalent. Fineness will be such that no less than 70% will pass through a #100 sieve and 100% will pass through a #20 sieve.

6-1 (2)

Lime rate shall be formulated from soil test results. In the absence of soil testing, a rate of 3 tons per acre will serve as the minimum.

Lime shall be applied immediately to all areas requiring seeding reaching final grade by one of the two methods listed in Sub-Section 1.1 A, “Fertilizer” of this Specification.

C. Seed Mixtures

1. The variety of grass and legume seed furnished for the project shall bear a tag, in accordance with applicable State and Federal laws, with the following information listed:

a. Lot Number

b. Seed Producers Name

c. Percent Purity

d. Percent Germination

e. Date of Germination Testing

f. Weed Seed Content (should be <0.25% by weight)

2. All leguminous seed shall be inoculated with the specified strain of rhizobia that shall be a pure culture of bacteria selected for maximum vitality. No rhizobia shall be used which has passed the expiration date on each package. The inoculant shall be applied at 5 times the recommended rate except when used in a hydro-seeding mixture when the rate will be 10 times the recommended rate.

3. Any permanent seed mixtures must have prior approval by the Engineer before use.

D. Temporary Seed Mixture

All stockpiles or other disturbed areas which will require further disturbance in which the additional disturbance will be delayed for a period of 3 weeks or longer shall be vegetated according to the following guidelines:

TEMPORARY SEED MIXTURE (LB./ACRE)

Seed Variety Spring:

03/15 to 05/15 Summer:

05/16 to 08/15 Fall:

08/16 to 10/15 Winter:

10/16 to 11/15 Annual ryegrass, Lilium multiflorum

20 20

German millet*, Sataria italica

Cereal rye, Secale cereale

* DO NOT USE JAPANESE MILLET

All areas to be temporarily seeded that are to be redisturbed shall be fertilized with 500 lb./acre of 10-20-10. All areas reaching final grade to be

6-1 (3) temporarily seeded shall be fertilized, limed, and mulched according to the Specifications.

Outside the designated seeding season, Permanent Seed Mixture may be substituted for Temporary Seed Mixture on areas that have reached final grade and will not be disturbed again, but only with the approval of the Engineer. Provided that any area failing to establish vegetation, as determined by the Engineer, shall be reseeded (with Permanent Seed Mixture), re-limed, re-fertilized, and re-mulched at no additional cost to the WVDEP and approved by the Engineer.

E. Permanent Seed Mixture

Permanent vegetation shall be established on all areas reaching final grade or other areas not likely to be disturbed by further construction activities. Any areas that reach final grade between May 15 - August 15 or October 15 - November 15 shall be seeded with the appropriate temporary seed mixture according to the Specifications. These areas shall then be reseeded with a permanent seed mixture, Southern States’ “Mountain Meadow & Pasture Mix” or equivalent, during the next defined seeding period according to this Section. The actual date of permanent seeding and mixture will require the Engineer's approval.

PERMANENT SEED MIXTURE (LB./ACRE)

Seed Variety * Spring

03/15 to 05/15 Fall

08/15 to 10/15 Orchardgrass, Dactylis glomerata 48 48 Red clover, Trifolium pratense 20 20 Climax timothy, Phleum pratense, Climax 12 12 Perennial ryegrass, Lolium perenne 8 8 Kentucky bluegrass 85/80, Poa pratensis 8 8 Will ladino clover (White), Trifolium repens 4 4

Cover Crops Add to Mix Based on Season Foxtail millet, Setaria italica 12 -- Winter wheat -- 90 Annual ryegrass, Lilium multiflorum ** 15 15

* Use on certified “blue tag” seed. Seed rate suggested is for pure live seed (PLS) in lb./acre. This mixture is best suited for Hayland and Pastures.

** Use in mix ONLY before May 1 and after August 1.

OPTION 1. WILDLIFE PREFERENCE SITE

Substitute additional Will ladino clover by increasing to 20 lbs. and reduce Orchardgrass to 32 lbs. in the mixture.

OPTION 2. MARGINAL SOILS RECLAMATION SITE

Substitute redtop (Agrostis gigantea) at 12 lbs. for the climax

6-1 (4) timothy in the mixture.

Substitute Birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus) at 15 lbs. and reduce

Orchardgrass to 33 lbs. (Herbaceous legumes must be treated with the appropriate bacterium before seeding.)

On areas that are steeply sloping (steeper than 1.7:1), slide prone, or drainage conveyance structures, substitute Crownvetch (Coronilla varia) at 20 lbs. for Birdsfoot trefoil.

OPTION 3. POLLINATOR ADD-MIXTURE

This add mixture is an option for areas such as pollinator gardens, and strips along crop areas to attract bees and butterflies. This mixture shall be added to the normal seeding mixture at a rate of 4.6 to 6.7 lbs./acre.

Follow the Pennsylvania or Mid-Atlantic Region Pollinator seed mixtures, developed by Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation, which may be found at http://www.xerces.org/pollinator-resource-center. Xerces suggests using Enrst Seeds, or Approved Equal. Roundstone Native Seed company offers a “WV Monarch” mixture (5.23 lbs./acre) which is acceptable as well.

* Use Annual ryegrass only in mixtures seeded after August 15 and before May 15.

G. Mulch Material

Mulching procedures shall take place immediately following seeding operations. Mulch material shall consist of erosion matting, straw, or wood cellulose fiber.

1. Straw

Straw mulch shall include baled wheat or oats straw, or baled grass hay. Straw mulch shall be dry and reasonably free of weed, seeds, sticks, or other foreign material. Straw mulch shall be applied at a rate of 2 tons/acre. The straw mulch shall be anchored with 750 lb./acre wood cellulose fiber.

2. Wood Cellulose Fiber Wood Cellulose Fiber application rate is 2,000 lb./acre. When used on slopes steeper than 2H:1V a reduced rate of 1,500 lb./acre shall apply. The appropriate mulch for use with the hydraulic application of seed, fertilizer, and lime shall consist of wood cellulose fiber and shall be processed in such a manner that the mulch will contain no growth or germination inhibiting factors and shall be dyed green. The mulch shall be manufactured in such a manner that:

a. After addition and agitation in slurry tanks with fertilizers, lime seeds, and water, the fibers in the material will become uniformly suspended to form a homogeneous slurry.

b. The material, when hydraulically sprayed on the ground, will form a blotter-like ground cover impregnated uniformly with seed and will allow rainfall to percolate to the underlying soil.

c. Wood cellulose shall only be used on areas that have been approved by the Engineer. The wood cellulose fiber shall be supplied in packages having a gross weight not to exceed 100 pounds. Weight Specifications of this material from suppliers, and for all applications, shall refer only to air-dry weight of the fiber material. Air-dry weight is based on the normal weight standard of the Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry for Wood Cellulose and is considered equivalent to 10% moisture. Each package of the cellulose fiber shall be marked by the Manufacturer to show the air-dry weight content.

3. Water Water shall be reasonably free of injurious and other toxic substances harmful to plant life. The source of water is subject to the approval of the Engineer.

1.2 SITE PREPARATION

A. All revegetation activities shall be conducted immediately following

6-1 (6) completion of final grading so as to utilize the fine soil material as a seedbed before this material is lost via subsequent rainfall.

B. On sites where appropriate equipment can operate, the seedbed shall be prepared by breaking up surface crusts and loosening the soil material to a minimum of 3 inches. Disking, harrowing, culti-packing, or other acceptable tillage operations may be used to prepare the seedbed. On sites where appropriate equipment cannot operate, the seedbed shall be prepared by “tracking in” with a dozer with a minimum of 1 ½ inch grouser depth. The dozer shall track up and down the slopes, track to track with a minimum of 1 pass on all areas with the cleats parallel to the contour. Other scarifying methods require prior approval by the Engineer. Rocks larger than 6 inches in diameter, weeds, and other debris that will interfere with seeding or maintenance shall be removed or disposed of as directed and approved by the Engineer. Seedbed preparation shall be suspended when soil moisture conditions are not suitable for the preparation of a satisfactory seedbed as determined by Engineer.

C. Lawn areas or areas being mowed shall be hand raked. Rocks larger than 2 inches in diameter, trash, weeds, and other debris that will interfere with seeding or maintenance shall be removed or disposed of as directed and approved by the Engineer. After broadcasting or otherwise applying the seed mixture, the surface of the seedbed shall be raked, culti-packed, or very lightly brush dragged to insure seed contact with soil. Seedbed preparation shall be suspended when soil moisture conditions are not suitable for the preparation of a satisfactory seedbed as determined by Engineer.

D. Seedbed preparation and seeding shall take place progressively as various regraded areas are brought to final grade.

E. All seeding operations shall be performed immediately following seedbed preparation in such a manner that the seed is applied in the specified quantities uniformly on the designated areas.

F. Areas requiring Type III and IV Revegetation shall have surfaces smooth, free of all foreign and organic material, sharp objects, or debris of any kind.

Apply soil amendments as necessary to prepare seedbed. Apply seed, fertilizer and/or mulches in accordance with this Specification. The subgrade shall provide a firm, unyielding foundation with no sharp changes or abrupt breaks in grade. Prior to installation of Type III and Type IV Revegetation, the surface preparation must be approved by the Engineer.

1.3 TYPE I REVEGETATION

Type I Revegetation shall be performed on designated areas as depicted on the

Project Plans and shall conform to the seed mixtures given in this Specification.

6-1 (7)

A. Seed Application shall consist of approved hydro-seeding methods where feasible. Any seed left in hydro-seeder overnight shall be re-inoculated before that seed shall be applied. Other methods of seed application may be utilized for site-specific reasons when approved by the Engineer.

B. Mulch shall comply with Sub-Section 1.1.G of this Specification.

C. Place final erosion control measures when required by Project Plans.

D. Note: When there is no Revegetation designation on the Project Plans, Type

1. The RECPs shall be stored in a manor to be protected from moisture until installation.

E. Method of Placement

1. The RECPs shall be unrolled parallel to the primary direction of flow.

The Installer shall ensure the product maintains intimate contact with the soil surface over the entirety of the installation. The RECPs shall not be stretched or allow material to bridge over surface inconsistencies.

2. Utilize one of the methods detailed below for initial anchoring of RECPs:

a. Staples - Install the RECPs 3 feet beyond the shoulder of the slope onto flat final grade. Secure roll end with a single row of staples on 1-foot centers.

b. Anchor Trench - Excavate a 6 inch by 6 inch anchor trench.

Extend the upslope terminal end of the RECPs 3 feet past the anchor trench. Use staples to fasten the product into the bottom of the anchor trench on 1-foot centers. Backfill the

6-1 (9) trench and compact the soil into the anchor trench. Apply seed and any necessary soil amendments to the compacted soil and cover with remaining 1 foot terminal end of the RECPs. Secure terminal end of RECPs with a single row of staples on 1-foot centers.

c. Check slot - Construct a staple check slot along the top edge of the RECPs by installing two rows of staggered staples 4 inches apart on 4-inch centers.

3. Utilize one of the methods detailed below for seaming of RECPs:

a. Adjacent seams - Overlap edges of adjacent RECPs by 6 inches or by abutting products as defined by Manufacturer.

Use a sufficient number of staples to prevent seam or abutted rolls from separating.

b. Consecutive rolls - Shingle and overlap consecutive rolls 6 inches in the direction of flow (i.e., Cover the downslope roll with the next upslope roll.).

c. Check seam - Construct a staple check seam along the top edge of RECPs for slope application and at specified intervals in a channel by installing two staggered rows of staples 4 inches apart on 4-inch center.

4. Utilize one of the methods detailed below for all terminal ends of RECPs:

a. Staples - Install the RECPs 3 feet beyond the end of the channel and secure end with a single row of staples on 1-foot centers. Staples for securing RECPs to the soil are typically 6 inches long. Use longer staples in sandy soils.

b. Anchor trench - Excavate a 6 inch by 6 inch anchor trench.

Extend the terminal end of the RECPs 3 feet past the anchor trench. Use staples to fasten the product into the bottom of the anchor trench on 1-foot centers. Backfill the trench and compact the soil into the anchor trench. Apply seed and any necessary soil amendments to the compacted soil and cover with remaining 1 foot terminal end of the RECPs. Secure terminal end of RECPs with a single row of staples on 1 foot centers.

c. Check slot - Construct a staple check slot along the terminal end of the RECPs by installing two rows of staggered staples, 4 inches apart on 4-inch centers.

5. CHANNEL INSTALLATION

Construct an anchor trench at the beginning of the channel across the entire channel width according to Sub-Section 1.5.E.2.b of this Specification. The Installer shall follow Manufacturer’s installation guidelines in constructing additional anchor trenches or staple check slots at intervals along the channel reach and at the terminal end of the channel. Unroll RECPs down the center of the channel in the primary water flow direction. Securely fasten all RECPs to the soil by

6-1 (10) installing staples at a minimum rate of 2 per square yard. Significantly higher anchor rates and longer staples may be necessary in sandy, loose, or wet soils and in severe applications. For consecutive rolls of RECPs follow seaming instructions detailed in Sub-Section 1.5.E.3 of this Specification. All terminal ends of the RECP shall be anchored using one of the methods detailed in Sub-Section 1.5.E.4 of this Specification. With any RECPs installation, ensure sufficient staples to resist uplift from hydraulics, wind, mowers, and foot traffic. For the most effective installation of RECPs, use staple patterns and densities as recommended by the Manufacturer.

F. Maintenance

1. During the initial period after installation inspect at least once a week or after every rain event. Basic monitoring should consist of visual inspections to determine RECPs integrity and attachment performance. Rill development beneath the RECPs or at edge lifting is evidence of inadequate attachment.

2. Until the vegetation is fully established, the ground surface should be inspected for signs of rill or gully erosion below the RECPs. Any signs of erosion, tearing of the matting, or areas where the RECPs is no longer anchored firmly to the ground should be repaired. Repair any damaged areas immediately by restoring soil to finished grade, re-applying soil amendments and seed, and replacing the RECPs.

Additional stapling and trenching can be employed to correct defects.

Recently placed RECPs may be replaced, but once vegetation becomes established, replacement is not a reasonable option unless large failures have…
