25025AMLMAML RECLAMATION PROJECT

FLOYD COUNTY, KENTUCKY

Written Location Directions: From the intersection of US-23 and KY-80 near Prestonsburg – Travel KY- 80W 11.2 miles and turn left onto KY-680. Travel 5.0 miles and turn right onto KY-122. Travel 16.0 miles and turn right onto Abner Fork Road Spur 1 (Johnson Coal Hollow). Travel 200 feet and project site is on right. Waste Area (from project site): Turn left as exiting Abner Fork Road Spur 1 (Johnson Coal Hollow). Travel 3.1 miles and turn left onto KY-306. Travel 1.2 miles and turn right onto Wells Street. Travel approximately 300 feet to gate. Waste placement area is 0.25 miles beyond gate. GPS location at the waste area is 37.3385°N, 82.7236°W.

Basic Project Description: The site is located along Abner Fork Road Spur 1 (Johnson Coal Hollow) road near the community of Melvin in Floyd County. The citizen’s residence and yard area are being impacted by eligible mine drainage. This project will install subdrain along the edge of the citizen’s driveway/yard areas to collect subsurface drainage. Collected drainage will be routed via a drop box into a culvert across the citizens yard outletting into a concrete block-tied mat ditch. The ditch will conduct drainage down the slope to new culvert with headwalls crossing Johnson Coal Hollow road and outlet into Abner Fork stream.

Project limits include 1.89 acres, with an expected disturbance of 0.5 acres within project boundaries.

Project limits for the offsite waste area(s) include 9.48 acres, with an expected disturbance of 6.0 acres.

No trees will be disturbed in stable or unstable areas in pursuit of this project. If required, AML will elect to make a payment to the Imperiled Bat Conservation Fund in accordance with a determination from

USFWS.

The collected drainage will ultimately discharge directly from a HDPP culvert and concrete headwall into Abner Fork stream. No other identified streams or water bodies will be impacted by this project.

No caves or cave-like structures will be impacted by this project.

The project site has previously been disturbed by coal mining operations, road construction, utility installation, residential development, landowner activities, and/or high velocity water flows associated with heavy rain events and flooding. 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 the areas slated for significant project-related construction activities.

The strict implementation and enforcement of standard AML sediment and erosion control Best Management Practices (BMPs) will prevent significant amounts of sediments disturbed by project related activities from entering area streams to create indirect impacts to aquatic resources. Sediment control will be installed prior to beginning any major earth disturbance (excluding initial site preparation for access only) until all measures are installed. These include but are not limited to silt barriers (bales & silt fence).

All disturbed areas will be promptly revegetated at the end of construction using lime, fertilizer, residential or wildlife seed, and mulch, as necessary. Revegetation bid items (traditional revegetation, hydroseeding and residential seeding) including cover crop are allotted for prompt establishment of vegetation. No woody material is expected to be encountered, but will be burned at the project site or otherwise properly disposed of.

Access to the site is via state and county roads, residentially maintained driveways and yards. This project will include pre- and/or post- project maintenance and repair of existing previously constructed

COR & BID & BMP 2

public county roads utilized during the construction of this project, which are administered by the county or local road authority. This construction activity will be conducted under the authority and supervision of the local public road authority and will consist of standard road construction practices appropriate to mitigate impacts to the local community from potential degraded road conditions in order to maintain public traffic safety.

A. STANDARD DOCUMENTS

The AML Standard Details, Technical Specifications, and Bid Item Descriptions are posted on the Division’s website at https://eec.ky.gov/Natural-Resources/Mining/Abandoned-Mine- Lands/Pages/default.aspx

Once on the web page, please click “Contractor Information” tab located on the right side. AML standard technical specification and detail are located under this tab. Contractors are strongly encouraged to review the complete AML website for additional information.

B. ALLOWABLE PRICE LIMIT

The lowest Allowable Price Limit (APL) is listed on the Bid Schedule as part of the bid documents. Unit Price, Plan Quantity, and Lump Sum are all methods of payment. Significantly low or high values entered by the CONTRACTOR on the Bid Schedule may be considered an unbalanced bid and may have to be justified in writing if such bid is deemed the low responsive bid.

An example would be if a CONTRACTOR assumes there may not be a need for the entire design quantity for Roadway Stone and entered a $10 value for Roadway Stone when the cost at the quarry is significantly higher. Another example would be if the CONTRACTOR enters a value of $30 per linear foot for “SILT BARRIER - BALES & FENCE” to front load payments for work items used near the beginning of the project. The CONTRACTOR is also cautioned that other considerations for rejection may be enforced such as the low bid being higher than the budgeted dollar amount for this project.

C. CONTRACT LENGTH

All work shall be completed within ONE HUNDRED TWENTY (120) calendar days from the effective date of the Award of Contract. Within the bounds of prudent project performance, it shall be the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR to plan and implement construction sequences which follow the intent of these CONTRACT DOCUMENTS, particularly as, reflected in the Drawings and Special Conditions and to protect any portion of the contract which may be completed before others.

D. CONTRACTOR’S INFORMATION SHEET

The AML CONTRACTOR/SUBCONTRACTOR INFORMATION FORM sheet must be filled out and submitted with the bid. Failure to submit the AML Contractor/Subcontractor Information Form sheet with the bid will be the basis for declaring the bid “Non-Responsive.”

E. SPECIAL CONDITIONS & PROJECT NOTES

COR & BID & BMP 3

- When applicable, AML is responsible for payment to the Imperiled Bat Conservation Fund (IBCF). The CONTRACTOR will be responsible for adhering to the boundary for which payment was made and confirming with AML the acreage of trees removed.

- On occasion, a property owner may require a CONTRACTOR to add them on their General Liability and/or Automobile Insurance as an “Additional Insured.” AML will inform the CONTRACTOR when this requirement is being made by the property owner. In these cases, the CONTRACTOR must submit to AML copies of their certificate of insurance documenting the “Additional Insured” before they will be allowed to mobilize equipment and forces on to said properties. Any fees, rate increases, or other costs incurred by the CONTRACTOR for this requirement, if any, will be considered incidental to mobilization and as such no compensation will be made by AML. The “Additional Insured” must remain on the CONTRACTOR’s policy(s) for the full length of the contract.

F. DAVIS BACON SCALE WAGES

The CONTRACTOR and all SUBCONTRACTORS are required to pay scale wages as defined in the contract documents. If all employment categories that may be used have not been listed and specified in the contract document, then the contractor must make his best determination of what the missing wage rate will be. Subsequently after the bid is awarded, the contractor must request the specific rate from the Department of Labor. AML will not issue change orders for additional compensation if the wage rate determined by DOL is higher than the rate the contractor used to develop his bid. If wage rates are not included for a specific category, AML suggests that the contractor assume the highest operator or laborer wages that are listed when developing his bid.

G. PERMITS & FEES – AML will be responsible for obtaining any permits that are checked below.

(Check all that apply)

☐KYTC Encroachment Permit

☐KY DOW Water Permits

☐USACE Permit

The CONTRACTOR is responsible for all other permits and/or fees necessary to begin the project. The CONTRACTOR is advised that on occasion, other permits and/or fees may be required by federal, state, and local government(s). Other types of permits and/or fees are not the responsibility of AML and as such, these will be the complete and total responsibility of the CONTRACTOR to obtain. These must be obtained before AML will allow mobilization of equipment and forces on to said properties. All costs associated with other permits or fees will be the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR. Please refer to “General Provisions” in the AML Technical Specifications.

Erosion and Sediment Control Best Management Practices (BMP) Plan

January 2017

COR & BID & BMP 18

OVERVIEW

This Best Management Practices (BMP) plan is a guide for Kentucky Division of Abandoned Mine Lands (DAML) projects. It contains information regarding preventing, reducing and controlling erosion, sediment, and pollutant runoff from Abandoned Mine Land (AML) Reclamation and Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) Abatement project construction sites. The information in this BMP will aid DAML staff and contractors in selecting, installing, and maintaining erosion prevention and sediment control measures during the different stages of construction. This BMP plan, in accordance with DAML Technical Specifications and Standard Drawings, is intended to protect Kentucky’s streams from potential water quality impacts resulting from DAML projects.

This general BMP document is to outline the various pollution prevention measures used on AML Reclamation or AMD Abatement Projects. The primary sources of pollutants are solids mobilized during storm events and precipitants from mineralized mine drainage. Other sources of pollutants include oil/fuel/grease from servicing and operating construction equipment, concrete washout water, sanitary wastes, and trash/debris.

EROSION PREVENTION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL MEASURES

Plans for Reclamation and AMD abatement construction projects will include erosion control measures on the planview sheets when possible, and will depict Disturbed Drainage Areas (DDAs) and related information. The construction notes and project description may describe other control measures. The Contractor and Engineer may select an additional BMP for the project as the project changes and construction progresses. Projects that do not have DDAs annotated in the plans will employ the same concepts selecting and implementing this general BMP plan.

Address disturbed areas or sources of sediments by the most effective means in the specific work area. Direct non-storm water discharges to sediment basins/traps or to a filter fence enclosure in a flat vegetated infiltration area or filtered via another approved commercial product. All deep mine and surface impoundment water will be tested and treated, when as necessary, to meet the DAML Water-Treatment and Disposal Technical Specification unless stricter limitations are listed in an existing Total Daily Maximum Load (TMDL) limit.

PERMITS

The DAML shall review each project during project development to determine whether any permits are required to implement the project work. When a permit is required, DAML will make every effort to obtain the permit prior to letting the project for bidding. Permit specific conditions shall trump any standard conditions and/or practices. All permits must be maintained onsite and produced when requested by regulatory authorizes inducing representative of the permitting authority.

Common permits types for DAML projects:

COR & BID & BMP 19

401 Water Quality Certification (WQC) o Issued by the KY Division of Water

402 KY Pollution Discharge Elimination System (KPDES) o DAML activities are covered under the AML KPDES General Permit

404 US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) o Issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers- Nashville District, Louisville District, or Huntington District (Depending upon major drainage basin) KY Stream Construction (Floodplain) o Issued by the KY Division of Water Local Floodplain Permit o Issued by the County/Municipality Local Storm Water Construction o Issued by the County/Municipality

A) Field Review Walk-Thru:

The DAML will conduct a project review between the Project Engineer, Construction Branch Personnel, Project Design Technician, and Field Office Staff, to review the construction plans and identify any changes needed prior to letting the project for bidding. The group will evaluate the locations and types of site specific BMP and any other erosion prevention and sediment control measures chosen for incorporation into the final design plans.

B) Site Visit Meeting

DAML will present the project specific BMP and permit requirements/conditions to the potential contractors during the site visit meeting.

C) Pre-Construction Conference

Prior to the actual beginning of the project, DAML will hold a pre-construction conference between representatives of the DAML, the Contractor, including any Subcontractors, as well as other interested agencies and parties. Items discussed will include the time and sequence for construction, planned methods of operation, payment, and other relevant questions including any permit requirements and the erosion and sediment control plan.

D) Construction Access

This is the first land-disturbing activity. Construction entrances shall be a minimum of twenty

(20) feet wide by fifty (50) feet long, measured from the shoulder of the public road, and consist of No. 2 aggregate over a heavy weight non-woven filter fabric base. As soon as construction begins, stabilize bare areas with gravel and temporary mulch and/or vegetation.

E) Clearing and Grubbing

Use the following techniques for clearing and grubbing activities:

COR & BID & BMP 20

1) Leave areas undisturbed when possible.

2) Construct silt basins to provide silt volume for large areas.

3) Construct Silt Trap(s) Type A for small areas.

4) Construct Type B silt traps for areas with rapid runoff and sediment-laden runoff.

5) All silt traps should have a 3:1 flow length to width ratio. Add spreader bars, baffles, or turbidity curtains to maintain the flow path ratio when site conditions require traps sizes smaller than the standard detail dimensions.

6) Install geotextile bags and/or rock checks in front of existing drop inlets.

7) Construct diversion ditches to catch sheet runoff and carry it to basins or traps or to divert it around areas to be disturbed.

8) Maintain brush and/or other barriers to slow and/or divert runoff.

9) Construct silt fences/hay bales to catch sheet runoff on short slopes. For longer slopes, multiple rows of silt fence/hay bales may be considered.

10) Apply temporarily mulch to area not actively being disturbed or for any area left undisturbed for fourteen (14) days.

11) Employ non-standard or innovative methods.

F) Stream Crossings / Work Along Streams

1) Temporary low-water stream crossings follow the guidelines included in the DAML

Technical Specifications and those established by the KY Division of Water Floodplain Management Section. Removal of a temporary crossing may be required to accommodate large storm events.

2) Do not completely block stream flow (even temporary). Instead, utilize some form of pass thru mechanism during all AML projects.

3) Work within a stream channel shall not cause flooding of properties upstream, downstream or within the project area or cause downstream water quality degradation. Minimize equipment contact time with the stream water by diverting water around equipment working in or along streams.

4) No flowing water will interact with any uncured concrete placed in the stream channel.

5) Divert all stream water around the work areas in accordance to methods listed in the DAML

Stream Protection & Relocation technical specification, AML Standard Details Section 60, and as by the appropriate permit guidelines.

6) Temporary out of channel stream diversion must use one of the three approved methods:

pipe diversion, sandbag/stone channel diversion, and/or fabric-based channel diversion.

Do not construct any temporarily diverted channel on bare, erodible soil. No temporary diversion shall be permanent without a 401, 404, and other appropriate permits.

COR & BID & BMP 21

G) Deep Mine and Surface Water Impoundments

The DAML Resident Inspector will test the mine water from deep mines and surface impoundments on the project area to determine the pH and total iron content. Treat the water until it meets the DAML Water-Treatment and Disposal Technical Specification or an existing TMDL, whichever is stricter, before release through a silt control structure(s).

Monitoring & Recording

The DAML Inspector will maintain a log of the pH and total iron content results prior to releasing and during each release day. Perform a minimum of two (2) tests downstream each day to ensure the maintenance of water quality during release and is not degrading the receiving stream.

Types of structures/facilities include:

1) Silt Traps Type A (20’L x 5’W x 2’D min dugout)

2) Silt Traps Type B (20’L x 5’W x 2’D min dugout with rock berm)

3) Silt Check - Rock checks with filter fabric core lining installed in channels and in front of pipes

4) Temporary silt control fence with Class II filter berm

5) Sediment collection bags

H) Cut and Fill and Placement of Drainage Structures

Areas at final grade will be seeded and mulched within five (5) days. Soil stock piles and areas that are not at final grade but where construction will cease for a period of fourteen (14) days or longer, shall receive temporary mulch no later than fourteen (14) days from the last construction activity in that area.

Types of structures/facilities include:

1) Silt Traps Type B (20’L x 5’W x 2’D min dugout with rock berm)

2) Silt Checks - Bags in front of pipes after they are placed

3) Channel lining

4) Erosion control blanket

5) Temporary mulch and/or seeding for areas where construction activities will be ceased for

14 days or more

6) Non-standard or innovative methods

I) Temporary Shutdown

Items to be completed prior to shutdown include:

1) Clean out behind, repair or replace silt fence and/or hay bales

2) Clean out all silt traps

COR & BID & BMP 22

3) Apply temporary mulch and track into the soil

4) Sow cover crop (weather permitting)

J) Finish Work

1) Establish permanent seeding and protection

2) Remove non-permanent silt checks from ditches and drains if protected with other BMPs sufficient to control erosion and vegetation is established.

3) Remove non-permanent silt traps and basins.

4) Remove geotextile silt fence.

5) Planting trees and/or shrubs where they are included in the project.

6) Clean out behind, repair, and/or replace bale silt barriers

7) Clean out all permanent silt traps and basins

K) Post-Construction

The Contractor shall assume responsibility for all workmanship and materials for a period of one year from the date of final payment, as directed by the Contract Documents. Any work found to be defective due to failure to comply with the provisions and intent of the Contract Documents shall be corrected at the Contractor's expense. Problems determined not to be created by the landowner or due to the Contractor will be addressed by the DAML for a period of up to three years, pending available funding.

OTHER CONTROL MEASURES

L) Solid Materials

No solid materials, including rock and building materials, shall be discharged into waters of the U.S. except as authorized by the Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 401 and Section 404 permits.

M) Waste Materials

Collect and store waste materials that may leach pollutants (paint and paint containers, caulk tubes, oil/grease containers, liquids of any kind, soluble materials, etc.) in appropriate covered waste containers. Remove waste containers from the project site frequently as to not allow wastes to become a source of pollution.
