This project consisted of reclaiming a coal refuse pile area that, due to its steep nature and constant erosion, threatened motorists on Pinson Fork Road, near Octavia Church in Pike County. The refuse pile also contributed to the acidic water quality of a nearby stream. Merchantable refuse was excavated from the project area outside of the stream bank and adjacent refuse piles above, and was delivered to an off-site processing facility. Upon removal of the refuse, the site was graded and revegetated to an approximate pre-mining condition. The project was deemed a success with a total of 5.8 acres reclaimed and substantial AML funding spared."
