Castle has reassessed the reclamation plan as part of its review of the <br /> staged approach to reclamation and developed an approach that is better suited for the site. Castle <br /> proposes to reclaim the Pikeview Quarry by backfilling the quarry area to buttress the existing landslide. <br /> Fill material will be generated by grading back the existing granite highwalls above the landslide, <br /> excavating steep slopes below the quarry floor, and by importing material from offsite. The fill will <br /> primarily be placed as compacted fill in a bottom-up manner, and fill from the upper portions of the <br /> quarry will be dozed into place before being covered with compacted fill. Following grading of the <br /> backfill slope,the site will be revegetated by placing topsoil,seeding, and planting trees. The post <br /> mining land use remains wildlife habitat, and all areas of the quarry will be reclaimed. <br /> Castle will continue to crush and screen rock onsite as suitable material is encountered, but operations <br /> will primarily focus on reclaiming the site. <br /> Please do not hesitate to contact me or our Stantec consultant, Paul Kos, if you have any questions. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> "elk' <br /> Jerald Schnabel <br /> President <br /> Castle Aggregate <br />
