farmland soils (WFC Prime Farmland). As of June 2012, there is approximately 107 acres of land that has <br />been backfilled and topsoiled with Mixed Topsoil that covers all of Benson West and about half of the <br />Lloyd (WFC) property. These area is shown on Map 2.05.4-7 as Zone 5. Mixed Topsoil was placed atop <br />of Bench 1 material in Zone 5. Some samples of the Bench 1 material were taken in 2008 from this area <br />and tested, however, no additional testing will be done on this material in this area. <br />Once spoil has been placed and graded, it will be ripped to at least 24 inches below grade before the <br />Mixed Topsoil placement. Map 2.05.4-7 shows these areas with the calculated acreage and replacement <br />thicknesses. <br />The calculations for the replacement of the these areas are shown below: <br />• Zone 5 (109.51 acres) - Topsoil: 15 to 24 inches (21 in. avg.) of Mixed Topsoil over at least 30 inches <br />of Bench 1 Surface Spoil. <br />• Zone 6 (23.61 acres) - Topsoil: 12 to 20 inches (13 in. avg.) of Mixed Topsoil over at least 24 inches <br />of Bench 1 Surface Spoil. <br />• Zone 7 (79.01) - Topsoil: 7 inches of Mixed Topsoil over at least 18 inches of Bench 1 Substitute <br />Subsoil. <br />• Zone 8 (2.83) - Topsoil: 38 inches of Mixed Topsoil over at least 18 inches of Bench 1 Surface Spoil. <br />Topsoil Stockpile #12 will be used to reclaim the last 3 cuts of the mining area and Pond 013, once the <br />area has been backfilled from Mount Nucla and the Bench 1 material has been placed. <br />August 2013 (PR -08) 2.05.4(2)(d)-22 <br />
