The soil will be stripped as required for mine activities at the time when it is needed. As much as <br /> possible, topsoil will be directly placed on final TSF surfaces as they are constructed. If topsoil <br /> needs to be stockpiled on-site, it will be placed in one of two designated areas. The first area is <br /> immediately uphill of sediment pond 91. This topsoil stockpile area will be used while the <br /> Revenue TSF is being built. Once the Revenue TSF is at capacity, an area on the top of the <br /> Revenue TSF will be used to store topsoil, if needed. A significant amount of topsoil will be <br /> imported over the life of the mine to satisfy the reclamation requirement of at least 6 inches over <br /> the areas requiring topsoil. These calculations are described in detail in Exhibit E. Topsoil that is <br /> imported will be suitable as a growth medium and free of any contaminants that could negatively <br /> affect the environment. <br /> Atlas TSF Topsoil <br /> A limited amount of topsoil was stripped prior to construction of the Atlas TSF. It is anticipated <br /> that soil from topsoil stockpiles or imported soil will be needed to complete reclamation of the <br /> Atlas TSF. See Exhibit E for more information regarding reclamation of TSFs, <br /> Shaft Area Soils <br /> The shaft areas (i.e., the Hubb Reed, 960 and Yellow Rose Shafts) consist almost exclusively of <br /> rock outcrop, historic waste rock, and rubble complexes. These areas will be excavated from <br /> underground, so surface soils that are disturbed due to the shaft construction will be stockpiled in <br /> the immediate vicinity for use in reclamation. See Exhibit E, Reclamation Plan for details <br /> regarding reclamation of the shaft areas. <br /> Revenue Mine <br /> December 2021 I-2 <br />
