1.6Acreage Calculations <br />The gold placer operation will disturb a total of 84.5 acres. Of this amount, 36.5 acres were disturbed <br />pre -1977 and no topsoil was salvaged. The following table describes the disturbed acreage types for <br />the life of the operation. <br />Gold Placer Disturbed Area Description <br />Acreage <br />1. Mining Cut Areas <br />52.4 <br />2. Berm along Highway 9 <br />2.8 <br />3. Topsoil Stockpiles <br />2.8 <br />4. Sediment Pond Area at South end of Permit Area <br />4.4 <br />5. Prep Plant area, processing, stockpile areas <br />10.1 <br />6. Overburden Storage Area from Cut 1 <br />3.0 <br />7. Pond 3 and 4 Area <br />3.60 <br />8. Camp /Office /Fuel Storage Area <br />3.4 <br />9. Site Roads <br />2.00 <br />Total Disturbed Area <br />84.50 <br />It should be noted that this disturbed area is the total for the mine life. Only 3 cuts of 48 will be <br />disturbed at any one time since reclamation will be ongoing, therefore, the total area disturbed at <br />any one time will be these cuts plus ancillary disturbance totaling only 34.1 acres in the worst case. <br />Roads, ponds and other areas that will be left after reclamation will reduce the final area to be <br />reclaimed. <br />Alma Placer Mine 1115 28 <br />
