(Substantial Completion) + 60 Calendar Days (Final Completion)
The yard around the residence at this site is being saturated by subsurface drainage from the eligible mined seam above. This project will install subdrain between the toe of the slope and the residence to collect the subsurface drainage saturating the yard. Collected drainage will be routed via installed culverts to the existing drainage at the roadside ditch along Upper Blackberry Road. A culvert will also be replaced crossing the citizen’s driveway for drainage and construction access.
Estimated Length of Project:
(Substantial Completion) + 120 Calendar Days (Final Completion)
This site will consist of the removal of a slide that has occurred behind Mr. Johnson’s garage. The slide is pushing up against the garage with about 0.11 acres being disturbed behind the garage. This will allow enough room to construct a 110 LF, 10 feet high permanent debris barrier wall behind the garage. Along with an 80 LF, 6 feet high non-reinforced block wall type 1 that will be located to the side of the barrier wall. Also being installed will be one mine portal wildlife closure that is located next to the slide area and two standard non-wildlife mine portal closures that are in the slide area. To help with drainage in the area 200 LF of 8inch HDPE pipe will be installed behind the garage and to both sides of the garage. Due to anticipated damage to the existing concrete driveway, it will be fully replaced with new concrete at a thickness of 3.5 inches and a width from 10 to 14 feet. Steel wire mesh reinforcement will be installed within the concrete for added durability
The project is a full replacement of the marina. Each dock, gangway, landside stairs/abutments, and associated utilities are to be demolished. The existing stiff arms and their foundations will remain. The stiff arms will be sanded, painted, and attached to the new marina. The western portion of the cove will be dredged to provide adequate depth for Docks C, D, E, and F per the design drawings.
Docks G and H are to be relocated and reassembled for use as temporary dock moorage during construction. The temporary moorage will provide 22 slips that are large enough to accommodate the largest houseboats currently occupying the existing marina. Electric will be provided for the temporary dock. The temporary dock is not a recreation dock. Houseboat owners will move their boats to the temporary dock, where they will remain throughout construction.
Construction should be staged in a manner that permits 44 house boats to remain in the water with shore power. 22 houseboats will be moved to the temporary dock by the houseboat owners. The other 22 should be able to remain at the marina while other demolition, dredging, and construction occur.
Estimated Length of Project:

The proposed project consists of one site located in Hazard, Ky. A large slide has occurred just above the home and is currently active. Drainage is seeping through the slide area and causing the slope to stay fully saturated. The homeowner has tried to keep the slide material cleaned up but it continues to come down on and around their home. In addition to the slide, there’s a steady flow of drainage coming from the middle of the slide and is pooling up around the home’s foundation. Reclamation plans will include removing slide material and hauling it to an offsite waste area, stabilizing the toe of the slope behind the home with a concrete retaining wall and subdrain to transport drainage to the roadside ditch. Other features will include ditches along Boone Ledge Drive.

This site located in Perry County near the community of Buckhorn has a 2.4 acre slide that has left the permitted area and is impacting the stream below. Additionally, major erosion has taken place within the roads and drainage ditches to the point of failure limiting access to the site.
Reclamation efforts proposed are to remove material from the upper slide area and place in a waste area. The remaining slide area will be regraded in place to promote positive drainage and direct runoff to the stream below. The access road will be graded up to the slide area and then rebuilt across the slide area. Drainage ditches along the road and other disturbed areas will be constructed to provide positive drainage. All disturbed areas to include slide and waste area will be revegetated to protect from further erosion.
