If any blasting is foreseen to take place in the N pit, please include pertinent infromation <br /> addressing Rule 2.05.3(6). <br /> DRMS notes that topsoil laydown is delineated on maps M10A and M10B. DRMS also notes <br /> that revised page 3-44 states that"some of the dragline boxcut spoils to be regraded without <br /> contamination of adjacent soils". DRMS infers from this statement that storage of boxcut spoils <br /> is foreseen as contaminating adjacent soil. There is a narrative description of spoil storage <br /> however, spoil storage is not called out on any maps. It appears that spoil storage may occur to <br /> the west as illustrated by the ridge outline (Ash Pit), on map M12 although it is not called out as <br /> such. <br /> 6. Aside from hauling spoil for cover of the A Pit ash dump please map were spoil will be <br /> stored that may impact adjacent soil as per Rule 2.05.3(6). <br /> 7.
