4. The quality topsoils on the far north end are well worth moving far to the south <br /> for use where better soils can be used with discretion on poorer areas that are <br /> more critical to have good soil. <br /> 5. The rest of the material should be used to shape the land in the area and, if <br /> necessary, finish the reclamation of the old large sediment basin that is in this <br /> area after it is determined what is needed there (see next section). <br /> SEDIMENT BASIN: <br /> 1. Although the large,roughly 20 year old sediment basin just north of the office <br /> and scale, is very well vegetated, its actual physical condition has not been <br /> determined. <br /> 2. In areas there are small ponds and swampy areas that could contain quicksand <br /> or other features that are too hazardous to be allowed for release from bond as <br /> grazing land which it otherwise could be. <br /> 3. If a thorough examination over the summer season does not reveal the existence <br /> of such soft, mushy or ponded areas then release could be considered. <br /> 4. Otherwise portions of this area may need to be buried in overburden to <br /> eliminate the hazards. This area will be thoroughly examined in the summer, <br /> autumn, and winter of 2022 to assess what is needed to eliminate hazards. <br /> NORTH CENTRAL STOCKPILE AREAS: <br /> 1. This area is located north of the Sediment Basin and forms a long gradual slope <br /> rising to the general land elevation to the north. Much is composed of <br /> overburden. But at the furthest extent are windrows of topsoil. <br /> 2. As stated before,most of the topsoil should be moved down into the pit leaving <br /> enough to topdress the gradual slope to the south in selected areas where it is <br /> needed for revegetation of this slope. <br /> 3. The overburden here should not be disturbed until it is known how much <br /> overburden is needed to finish the Sediment Basin or use elsewhere. <br /> 4. Then the rest can be spread on this slope as well as on the slopes to the east to <br /> meet slope steepness specifications (maximum 3:1). <br /> Fountain Pit Technical Revision#3 - June 2022 M-1982-155 Reclamation Plan Page 3 of 23 <br />
