1.2.5 Cultural Practices <br /> <br />In 2024 Trapper also conducted several other cultural practices. These practices are <br />addressed below. <br /> <br /> <br /> Drainage Reconstruction <br /> <br />Refer to Section 3.0 of this annual report. <br /> <br />Contour Ditch Construction <br /> <br />During 2024, Trapper did not construct any contour ditches. <br /> <br />Stock Tank Construction <br /> <br />No new Stock Tanks were constructed during the 2024 field season. Refer to Section 6. <br /> <br /> Stock Tank Reclamation <br /> <br />No Stock Tanks were reclaimed during the 2024 field season. Refer to Section 6. <br /> <br />Developmental Drill Sites <br /> <br />No Developmental Drilling occurred during the 2024 season. <br /> <br />All applicable developmental drill holes were abandoned per permit section 3.3.2 and will be <br />reclaimed and seeded per section 3.6.3.5 of the permit. Drill hole abandonment typically uses <br />Alternative 2 for sealing of the borehole. <br /> <br />Topsoil Piles <br /> <br />During 2024 pile JE24-1 was constructed west of the D-Pit haulroad to hold stripped materials <br />from J-East Pit. Pile A76-4 was relocated to pile JE24-1 in advance of J-East Pit. A portion of <br />pile E79-D22-B was used for laydown in D Pit. Pile L23-1 received additional topsoil from <br />stripping operations in L-Pit, K Knob area. Refer to Section 5. <br /> <br />Sediment Dams <br /> <br />Sediment ponds Johnson #10 was partially cleaned at the inlet, No Name #2 and Middle Flume <br />#3 received perimeter cleaning of the inlet delta. Dozer basins and stock ponds were cleaned <br />and or repaired in East Pyeatt, Middle Flume, East Flume, No Name, Johnson and Deal <br />drainages. New Sediment pond East Buzzard #3 received additional fill on the dam to remedy <br />a low freeboard issue during the summer of 2024. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1.2.6 Previously Revegetated Acres <br /> <br />The locations and acres for all previously revegetated areas, seeded to perennial species, are <br />presented in Map(s) 1. To date, Trapper has revegetated approximately 4,496.0 acres. Of the <br />total revegetated acres, 3,935.0 reclaimed acres have received final phase III bond release. <br />The phase III total includes 6.6 acres of re-disturbance in the J Pit area during 2024. <br /> <br />Not shown on Map(s) 1 in this annual report are the areas seeded to temporary perennial mixes <br />that will require final reclamation prior to the end of the project (life of mine). <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
