Table 2.04.9 -6 reflects estimated salvage quantities for the 19956 study area and Tables 2.04.9 -7A <br />& B reflect estimated salvage quantities for the 1998 study area. As of PR 08, all topsoil stripping <br />has been completed at the New Horizon Mine. The final topsoil replacement plans can be found <br />in Section 2.05.4(2)(d). <br />16.1 Topsoil Salvage Thickness - 1988 Study Area <br />This study addresses the approximate original permitted area of 274 acres or 235 disturbed acres, <br />as shown on Map 2.04.9 -1. The salvageable thickness of topsoil material presented in this section <br />are based on laboratory data and extensive field observations, and represent only the most suitable <br />sources of topsoil material. No tinstintable sources of topsoil wd'! be salvaged and used dtnirrg <br />Table 2.04.9 -5 summarizes topsoil salvage thickness and characteristics <br />by map unit for the New Horizon 2 Mine disturbance area. It should be noted that the topsoil <br />thickness and volumes listed in Table 2.04.9 -5 are only estimates derived from field sample pits. <br />WFC live handled the majority of the topsoil with trucks and the mine shovel or large front end <br />loaders in front of the active pit to the final graded backfill. WFC is committed to salvaging and <br />redistributing all available topsoil. As of June 2010, the only areas from the original permit that still <br />requires topsoil replacement are the haul road, the overburden stockpile and some other minor <br />areas. These areas cannot be re- topsoiled until the mine is in final reclamation. <br />August 2013 (PR 08) 2.04.9 -38 <br />
