25 Pa. Code § 88.88 - Vegetation-supporting material: soil storage
(a) Soil and other vegetation-supporting
materials shall be redistributed or stockpiled for redistribution.
(b) Stockpiled materials shall be selectively
placed on stable area within the permit area and located where the material,
unless approved by the Department, will not be moved or otherwise distributed
by the mining activity until required for redistribution on the regraded
areas.
(c) Stockpiled material
shall be protected from wind and water erosion, unnecessary compaction and
contaminants which lessen the capability of the materials to support vegetation
when redistributed. Protective measures shall be accomplished by one of the
following:
(1) Seeding or planting an
effective cover of nonnoxious quick-growing annual and perennial
species.
(2) Other methods
demonstrated to and approved by the Department to provide equal
protection.
