Overall top sand piles appeared stable and <br />shaped to a stable grade. Having been seeded in autumn of 2016 short term cover was establishing and <br />stabilizing the material from excess erosion. No areas are slated for topsand application untill 2018 or <br />so, as sufficient overburden (six feet) must be placed in advance of topsanding. Recently the mine <br />purchased a Trimble surveying device. The device is mounted on the vehicle roof and provides elevation <br />information for amount of material to be cut or filled. <br />o Overburden placement is progressing from south to north toward the B Pit. Moving overburden, <br />cutting and filling was taking place at time of inspection. <br />o Stockpiling compost continues to take place as budget allows, assureing an adequate supply when <br />needed. <br />
