About this file

This is a Request for Bids (RFB) solicitation issued by the Commonwealth of Kentucky, Division of Abandoned Mine Lands, for the Vogue Slurry AML Reclamation Project located in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky. The project involves reclaiming approximately 44 acres adversely affected by previous coal mining operations within a 180-acre viewshed. The scope of work includes eliminating approximately 1.1 acres of an acid pit by backfilling it with adjacent onsite mine spoil material from approximately 12 acres and capping with the best available onsite material. Additionally, acidic spoils adjacent to the pit will be prioritized for backfilling to eliminate acid-forming potential, and spoil ridges in designated areas will be graded at a maximum 3:1 slope. Water treatment will raise pH to 6 or greater prior to pit release and backfilling in accordance with Kentucky Division of Abandoned Mine Lands Technical Specifications. The solicitation (RFB 785 2700000054) was issued on August 3, 2026, with a bid closing date of September 1, 2026, at 9:30 A.M.

The 25034AMLBAML (Vogue Slurry AML Reclamation Project) is in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky, at North 3716'52.68", West 8720'50.79" and will reclaim approximately 44 acres adversely affected by previous coal mining operations. The total project viewshed is 180 acres, and only 44 acres proposed for construction will be within those 180 acres. The entire 180 acres has been disturbed by previous pre-law surface mining activities. The project consists of eliminating approximately 1.1 acres of an acid pit which will be backfilled with adjacent onsite mine spoil material (12 acres) and capped with the best material available on site. The water in the pit will be treated and raised to a pH of 6 or greater prior to release and backfilling of the pit in accordance with KYDAML Technical Specifications. Water tests taken on December 5, 2025, show the water in the pit with a pH of 6.7 and iron over 10 mg/l. Acidic spoils adjacent to the pit shall be used first in backfilling the pit to eliminate the acid forming potential of these materials. This effort will require additional effort and may require double handling of some soils. Spoil ridges in the designated areas will be graded at a maximum 3:1 slope with the best available material brought to the surface. Payment for this work will be by the cubic yard for Mine Spoil Excavation
