This table replaces the table on page 166 of the original <br />permit. Also, note that the "1982-83" notation for the pits has <br />been updated to "1983-84" to more accurately reflect the mining <br />schedule (Figure 6.1). Similar notation changes apply to the <br />narrative in the permit and the original maps. Utilizing the <br />thicknesses and the areas of the pits from Table 6.1 the <br />following volumes of soil are determined. Note that as per the <br />original permit application (pg. 258), a 20 foot buffer around <br />the pit area has been included. <br />TABLE 6.2 Soil volumes <br />Mine area Soil Area, Topsoil Volume, Subsoil Volume, <br />type acres thickness, cubic thickness, cubic <br />inches ards inches ards <br />1 83 LTE 0 1 6, 0 <br />1984A LTE 4.98 4 2,680 14 9,380 <br />TM 1.92 15 3,870 45 11,610 <br />Totals ~~ 11~6b 7, 0 <br />1984B LTE 3.80 4 2,040 10 5,100 <br />1984C LTE 3.43 4 1,840 10 4,600 <br />B,C Totals 7T. f3 3~d ~,7~0 <br />The soil handling plan as discussed in the Permit will not <br />change except in terms of the operation planned and the handling . <br />of small spoil piles that are dispersed over the permit area. <br />The latter problem will be handled by staking the spoil areas in <br />the field before any topsoil in the vicinity is removed. The <br />scraper operator will carefully remove the spoil and it shall be <br />placed directly in the. pit being reclaimed so that the spoil <br />will be covered by at least one lift of overburden before being <br />covered by subsoil and then topsoil. The spoil in the small <br />piles is primarily burnt material, which is typically <br />essentially inert. The removal of these small piles can be done <br />with a minimal loss of topsoil, thus no adjustment to the <br />volumes in Table 6.1 is proposed. <br />
