Site work for a water / sewer project in Greenville, Kentucky. Completed plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

The Project 22048BFPFMPO Pond Creek 889-0046 is a bond forfeiture project in Muhlenberg County Kentucky in the community of Beech Creek located at 3710'26.437'N & 874'12.722'W. This project consists of removing 3 basins containing acidic water. The water in the basins will be treated prior to release then the basins will be filled in to a level to which no water will be held in the future. The water from the basins will need to have a pH of greater than 6 and an iron level less than 5 mg/L prior to release. Clearing of trees around the basins will be necessary to push the necessary dirt to fill in the basins. Mowing of areas adjacent to hotspots and the location for three ECB ditches will be necessary to work the approximately 12 acres of this type of work. Agricultural limestone will be spread over all disturbed areas at a rate of 50 tons per acre and subsequently incorporated into the acidic material. The hotspots, if appropriate, will have the first 50 tons of lime applied and subsequently mixed into the soils first two or so feet and then an additional 25 tons of lime will be incorporated prior to seeding. Exploratory hours are to be used to determine areas in which soil quality at two feet is good enough that this method can be used and effective. Hot spot areas will be worked through the gradework and lime bid items prior to any seeding. If mixing of the soil is not appropriate for an area 75 tons of lime per acre will be added and incorporated into the substrate prior to seeding. Three ECB ditches will be created above basin B to catch acidic seeps that are currently running into the basin. Three 4 foot flat bottom riprap ditches will be added to carry water from the basins removed to the appropriate drain ways. Seeding of all disturbed areas will be performed in a timely manner and will use the AML acidic seed mix. Fertilizer will be spread at a rate of 0.375 tons per acre and will be an 18-46-60 mix. Mulch will be applied at a rate of 2 tons per acre and will be crimped in. Throughout the project AML best management practices will be used to keep silt and water quality under control. Silt fence or bales will be installed above basin B to protect any silt from entering this basin. After all work on the main project area has been completed roadway stone will be applied to the access road.
