That area will have the same kind of <br /> reclamation environment as this portion of the permit.) <br /> Management of the Reclamation <br /> Management of the reclaimed land is very important, especially for the first year or two. <br /> Adaptive Management techniques will be used here rather than Active Management which is more <br /> applicable for land that will have more domesticated uses rather than land like grazing and/or wildlife <br /> habitat which is more natural in character. Adaptive management involves vigilant watching to see <br /> what happens and then applying corrective treatment if the development of the reclaimed land veers <br /> off in some undesirable direction. Then the manager only does what is necessary to bring it back"on <br /> course." <br /> EROSION CONTROL: This primarily applies to the 3:1 slopes. The floor of the pit would <br /> not be very prone to erosion, but even there a very large and wet thunderstorm can happen that causes <br /> some erosion. <br /> Fountain Pit Technical Revision#3 - June 2022 M-1982-155 Reclamation Plan Page 19 of 23 <br />
