The North slope will be mined <br /> leaving the pit open and exposed to the north. A small safety berm will be <br /> shaped with a 3 to 1 slope and revegetated. Quantities for this berm are in <br /> place at this time. <br /> Note; This method would have exposed to much change in the overall <br /> appearance and would have cost more in reclamation efforts. The East <br /> slope was reduced to a 2 to 1 with a CAT D-6 Dozer as with all slope <br /> reductions. <br /> All other side slopes will be pulled down to a 2 to 1 slope and revegetated <br /> with top-soil that is piled on the South side of the pit. Adequate quantities <br /> currently exist for this effort. <br /> Note; As evidenced with the 3 acres recently reclaimed, slope reductions <br /> were conducted with a CAT D-6 size dozer requiring 22 hours. Slope <br /> reductions were conducted simply by cutting the top 15' of highwall and <br /> pushing it the bottom toe. Reclamation efforts conducted last week comprise <br /> 45% of the mines necessary slope reduction requirements. <br />
