tons per year. This amount may increase if the overburden amount is less, or if plant efficiency increases. <br />Cut 1 has no topsoil, therefore, its overburden will be moved northeast to the previously disturbed area <br />and regraded. The original Pond A has been excavated to remove silt buildup and has been restored to <br />its original size and volume. The new excavation was split into 2 ponds now called Pond 3 and Pond 4, <br />as shown on Map C -2. These ponds are exactly where Pond A was located. After Cut 2, a dewatering <br />pump will be placed at the bottom of the cut to deliver water to Pond 4. The operation will then shift to <br />the area immediately south of the existing access road in Cuts 3, 4 and 5. The dewatering pump in these <br />cuts will also deliver the water to the new Pond 4. All subsequent cuts will deliver water to the South <br />Ponds #3 and #4 at the south end of the permit area. These ponds are different from the ponds that settle <br />the discharge water from the plant. <br />At any one time, three cuts will be active. The one in advance of the active cut will be stripped of topsoil <br />and will also have overburden removal activity. The active pit will have overburden removal and gold <br />bearing gravel mining. The cut behind the active pit will have overburden placement, re- grading and <br />topsoil placement. Reclamation plan details are described in Exhibit E. <br />Alma Place Mine 01/15 14 <br />
