Topsoil Stripping and Replacement— Revenue Mine <br /> The vast majority of the Revenue Mine is existing disturbance from historical mining activities. <br /> No topsoil was salvaged during historic mining activity. Topsoil is stripped from areas where it <br /> is identified prior to using an area for mining activities. <br /> The post-mining land use planned for the Revenue Mine is commercial wildlife habitat, and <br /> therefore, disturbed areas will have a minimum of 6 inches of topsoil or suitable growth medium <br /> placed on them, where practicable, prior to revegetation. Areas not receiving topsoil will be <br /> regraded and capped with suitable waste rock to reduce erosion and to more closely resemble the <br /> surrounding landscape. <br /> Revenue Mine <br /> December 2021 I-1 <br />
