Estimated Length of Project:
(Substantial Completion) + 120 Calendar Days (Final Completion)
The Deborah Belcher Slide is a high priority AML Reclamation Project being impacted by ground movement related to AML-eligible coal mining. An area of observed instability is located above and below the access road down to the state highway (KY 195). The project consists of removing earthen material, constructing a reinforced concrete wall between the state highway and the driveway, constructing a reinforced concrete wall with railsteel pilings above the driveway and constructing a rail steel and guardrail lagging wall at the base of the hillside above the driveway.
This project is located on the Belcher USGS Quadrangle in the Ashcamp community at 10615 Ashcamp Road. The Latitude is 37°16’32″ and the longitude is 82°26’45″.
The project will consist of excavation of material to construct the reinforced concrete wall between the state highway and the driveway. Class 2 backfill will be placed between the wall and the driveway with a guardrail at the edge of the driveway. A reinforced wall with rail steel pilings will be constructed above the driveway and a pile and guardrail lagging wall will be constructed at the base of the natural hillside.
All soils/ spoil removed from the site will be hauled to the waste area located as shown on the plans and disposed of in a uniform manner, leaving the area in a level configuration. The waste area will be seeded upon completion.
Trees are present within the unstable area of the project. There are no trees within the waste area. A bid item for tree disposal is included in the project. This bid item includes but is not limited to tree chipping. Most of the trees are anticipated to be no larger than 3″ DBH.
Construction disturbances will be kept to a minimum by the implementation of standard AML Best Management Practices (BMP’s) which will prevent significant amounts of sediment related to project construction activities from entering the waters of the commonwealth. Silt will be controlled during all phases of reclamation to minimize silt leaving the reclamation area. A silt fence or straw bales will be used. After construction has been competed, all disturbed areas will be promptly revegetated using lime, fertilizer, seed, and mulch.
Bituminous and guardrails has been added to the contract to restore the driveway just prior to project completion.
