C-17 r1 <br /> Fines Recovery Pit <br /> The fines recovery pit will be a smaller,rectangular-shaped area(in footprint), nominally 275 ft. in length <br /> (west to east) by 235 ft. in width (north to south). It will be excavated to a depth nominally equivalent to <br /> that of the main mine pit. At its design pit depth of 25-ft., the feature yields an estimated holding capacity <br /> of approximately 43,000 yd3. <br /> Based on laboratory-scale analyses and anticipated yield factors, the design capacity of the feature is <br /> sufficient to accommodate the anticipated 38,000 yd3 of plant reject,which will be slurried to the pit at an <br /> approximately 40-to 50% moisture content, by weight. The remaining 13% (or 5,000 yd3) of the feature's <br /> overall volumetric capacity will be reserved for storm water collection/detention and freeboard capacity. <br />
