Inc. would like to alter their revegetation plan at the Box Creek Placer Mine (M- <br /> 2018-053) in accordance with section 3.1 Revegetation Flexibility on page E-3 of their <br /> approved permit which reads "Once Titan Au has found successful strategies for <br /> revegetation. it will submit a revision to this permit to allow the use of those strategies on <br /> the rest of the site as appropriate."" Reclamation efforts during the 2020 season have <br /> yielded high germination results through broadcast seeding and two-inch harrow site <br /> processing. Furthermore, initial attempts to disc the land, drill seed, and crimp mulch were <br /> ineffective due to the high rock content of the replaced overburden and will not be used in <br /> on site future reclamation efforts Titan Au. Inc. owns and operates all of the above <br /> equipment but is highly pleased with results for 2020 using the broadcast spreading and <br /> harrow method. <br /> Please allow the following text, as Technical Revision 1, to replace the current <br /> Revegetation Plan. <br /> 3. Revegetation Plan <br /> For each area of reclamation, lands will not need to be disked to loosen the soil as all soils <br /> to be reclaimed will be recently filled topographic lows throughout the site that previously <br /> served as sediment settling ponds and deposits for sluice reject sediments that result in <br /> settled but unconsolidated soils as opposed to traditional hard packed reclaimed earth. <br /> Slopes will be backfilled, regraded, and retopsoiled as soon as they are able to be <br /> 1 <br />
