The project will correct drainage and install sediment control in the intermittent drain behind the home. An old 0.7-acre slide has on a hillside above the Scalf residence and sent material flowing down approximately 620-ft of the ephemeral-intermittent drain but has since since stabilized. Material that has flowed into the yard has been previously cleaned up by the landowner.
Project limits include 4.75 acres, with an expected disturbance of 2 acres within project boundaries. Project limits for the offsite waste area includes 4 acres, with an expected disturbance of 1 acre. Within the stable area, a total of 0.1 acres of trees will be disturbed including two trees 5”-8” DBH in the area of the gabion weir installation, and several smaller trees along the ditch line. No trees will be disturbed at the waste area.
The project will involve rehabilitation of an existing ditch from the drain along the edge of the property to the corner of the driveway, where it enters a larger existing drain, which outlets into Jim Maynard Branch. A ditch and subdrain on the opposite side of the yard, opposite the existing ditch will be installed to carry water from the slope into the same stream. In addition, two gabion weirs will be constructed in the drains above the home upstream of the installed ditch to control the flow during heavy runoff events and provide sediment control. The yard that was previously filled with mudflow will be graded to slope towards the ditches and will be reseeded to AML specifications. Existing water bars in yard will be re-established as ECB ditches. All excess excavated materials will be placed at the offsite waste area.

All prefinished metal coping caps, collector heads, downspouts, metal roof splashes, flashings, accessories, and terminations are included.
BP-1 scope is to provide three new Hybrid Style barns (Barn A, B, and I, with J as an Alternate.
Each barn is to have a conventional steel frame, with Pre-Engineered Metal Building components for the reminder of the structure, purlins, metal wall panels, metal roof panels and any miscellaneous framing required to support the roof or wall panels is to be by the Pre-Engineered Metal Building provider. These include but are not limited to: Roof purlins, base or top angles, wall girts and struts. There will be several rooms constructed at each end of each barn and will be constructed of CMU or concrete with a concrete cap over a portion of the spaces. The CMU and concrete are to be painted with an industrial urethane enamel paint. An existing transformer will serve Barns A and B and is to remain in place. Another existing transformer is to be relocated to serve the new barns I and Alternate J. New lighting, HVAC, and plumbing is to be provided for each barn as per the contract documents. The BP-1 General Contractor is responsible for coordinating with the BP-2 General Contractor for scheduling and installation of the new custom modular stalls and mats, as part of the BP-2 scope. The modular stalls and interlocking stall mats will be part of BP-2. The schedules for both BP-1 and BP-2 are the same, as it is intended the BP-1 General Contractor will provide access for the installation of the custom modular stalls and mats during the construction period, so that both bid packs can achieve Substantial Completion at the same time.
This project consists of adding a new overhead electric coiling door to an existing wall, which results in adding a new steel lintel. To install the new lintel, temporary pinning beams and shoring posts will need to be installed prior to removing the existing masonry. The site slab paving had to be redone so that large trucks could drive up to this new overhead door. Cleaning the work area of all dirt and debris caused by the construction of this work is included in this contract. This work is to be performed through contract between the Contractor and Owner. The transportation, unloading, storing, erection or installation, testing, and making operable of all parts of the Project shall be included under the Agreement at times appropriate thereto.

Estimated Length of Project:
(Substantial Completion) + 90 Calendar Days (Final Completion)
The work will consist of excavation of the spoil material around the mine subsidence area. An existing concrete structure from the original mining is visible in the subsidence depression.
Excavation will extend to the lowest elevation of the face of the existing concrete structure. Side slopes for the excavation area of 3:1 to 4:1 will be required, and benching may be necessary to provide a safe working area. Once the existing concrete structure is fully exposed, a concrete cap will be constructed to fully close the mine opening. It is unclear if the concrete structure is associated with the slope shaft or an air shaft of the Goldsberry Mine. Methane monitoring is the responsibility of the contractor, and if methane is encountered, the contractor must immediately implement a plan to secure the area. Methane monitoring and control is incidental to the overall completion of the project.
The reinforced concrete mine closure will be constructed with the following general guidelines.
Excavate a 20 ft diameter circular trench to a depth reaching the bottom of the face of the
exposed existing concrete mine structure. The excavation slopes will be at approximate 3h:1v to 4h:1v. Benching will be required if needed for stability. The concrete mine structure will be examined by the engineer and a formed reinforced concrete closure will be constructed around the opening. The concrete closure will be 8 inches thick and will have #5 reinforcing steel at 12- inch centers both ways. Form work will be required on both faces with the interior face being set 4 inches inside the existing structure. The new closure will use drilled and epoxy dowel rods to attach to the existing structure wall on 2 ft. centers. The new closure will extend 12 inches beyond the existing structure on every side.
The floor of the excavation area can be stabilized with Filter Fabric and Size 2 Coarse aggregate or roadway stone if required. Pumping will be required to keep the working area dry and is incidental to the overall completion of the project. Material excavated will be stockpiled within the project limits and will be used to backfill the pit. Upon completion of the concrete mine closure, the excavated spoils will be used to fill the subsidence area by placing in 12-inch
compacted lifts. Additional material will be found on site within the project limits to bring the elevation to existing surrounding grade. Additional filter fabric and Size 2 aggregate may be required by the engineer.
Other work includes site preparation, repair of driveways, and other features disturbed during the construction process. An on-site temporary stockpile for excavated spoil will be used, but items not suitable for disposal must be taken to a landfill. Driveways damaged during the project will be repaired in kind with bituminous pavement. Removal of existing pavement is required on driveways and is incidental to repair. Standard AML revegetation methods and best management
practices for silt control will be used. All disturbed areas will be promptly revegetated at the end of construction using lime, fertilizer, AML seed mix, and mulch, as necessary.
The project site has previously been disturbed by road construction, utility installation, mining
and business development, landowner activities, and surface expression of deep mine subsidence. These disturbances consist of significant mixing, and removal of earthen material from excavation, grading, fill material placement, road construction, site development and driveway construction. There should be no undisturbed earthen material to a depth of several
feet at the areas slated for significant project-related construction activities.
Access to the site is via state and county roads, a business-maintained driveway, and an existing access road. This construction activity will consist of standard road construction practices appropriate to mitigate impacts to the local community from potential degraded road conditions to maintain public traffic safety.
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.
Estimated Length of Project:
(Substantial Completion) + 30 Calendar Days (Final Completion)
A section of slope has become unstable in the graded area between the undisturbed forest and a previously installed concrete block-tied mat ditch. This instability has constricted the ditch.
Sediment from this instability has also been deposited downstream at the intersection with an installed grated concrete ditch, allowing water to bypass the ditch and impact the citizen’s yard.
The unstable material constricting the ditch will be removed and replaced with a Class III
buttress. The affected section of ditch (approx. 80LF) will be removed and replaced with 4’ flat bottom Class III Ditch. Grates will be removed and replaced after deposited sediment has been removed and modifications complete. To prevent migration of Class III aggregate into the concrete channel, a barrier for aggregate retention will be installed at the interface of the two
types of ditch. Sediment deposited in the yard will also be removed to restore grade and
drainage.
The project limits are 3.37 acres in total with 0.7 acres of planned disturbance. These include project limits of 0.21 acres at the project site (with an expected maximum disturbance within the project limits of approximately 0.2 acres) and 3.16 acres at the off-site waste area (with an
expected maximum disturbance within these project limits of 0.5 acres).
Trees greater than 3” diameter at breast height will not be cut at the project site or waste area. If required, AML will elect to make a payment to the Imperiled Bat Conservation Fund in accordance with a determination from USFWS.
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.
Approximately 80 LF of Concrete Block – Tied Mat will be removed and a Class III ditch
installed. The existing concrete ditch (approx. 60 LF) will have deposited sediment removed.
Nothing beyond ephemeral flow has been observed through this area.
No portals or cave-like structures will be disturbed by this project.
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).
Provide raceways for KU installed underground primary electric to replace a portion of the existing overhead primary electric. Rework secondary electrical services to indicated buildings to receive power from the underground primary electric system. Install KU furnished pull boxes and single-phase transformer bases. Provide concrete pads for three phase transformers. Provide raceways for KU provided site lighting fixtures. Provide pad mounted recloser near existing generator and connect to the existing SCADA control system.
