Soil samples were obtained to identify potential borrow pit areas in D-Area to support the closure of the 488-1D, 488-2D & 488-4D Basins. Borrow Area 6 on Attachments 2 and 3 will be developed as a borrow source for the closure of the D-Area ash basins and landfill. The borrow area is located in a recently harvested timber compartment. A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and Grading Plan will be developed by Design Engineering prior to starting work. In addition to the new portions of haul roads, existing asphalt and gravel roads will be maintained on the entire haul route as necessary during the closure of the D-Area ash basins and landfill.
