The east edge of Phase IV will also be backfilled and <br />seeded. <br />Pha^e TV-A <br />The areas north of abandoned pits "A" and "B" will not be mined, <br />however, some light grading will be done with a dozer to reduce pre- <br />eicisting highwalls in an effort to create shoreline which will be more <br />attractive to water fowl. A "ribbon" of land will be iefr undisturbed <br />between existinb bodies of water and the newly created war.er Surface <br />with the exception of backfilling the min= side. The area around the <br />office and Plant Gite II will be backfilled as will the remaining <br />portion of road side between Plant Site II and the office area. The <br />causeway connecting the office site and the northern portion of Phase <br />IV-A will be backfilled. All backfilled area will be graded and seeded. <br />Phase V <br />The north and west boundaries will be backfilled and seeded. The east <br />edge will also be backfilled but the shoreline areas will not be seeded <br />until the maximum amount of overburden has bean backfilled along the <br />ease edge. TiTis amo~~nt will depend upon the amount of available over- <br />burden. As areas along the east edge become large enough not to be <br />disturbed by future backfilling operations, they will be seeded. Upon <br />completion of backfilling in Phase V, the shoreline area will be seeded. <br />Pha ca V-A <br />A ribbon of land will be left around the abandoned pit "A" along the <br />ease edge of Phase V-A. The southern edge of the area will be back- <br />filled as will the edges ^_f the two plant sites at the southeast and <br />southwest corners of the area. The ribbon of land around the abandoned <br />bra•:el pit "A." will also be backfilled. These backfilled areas will <br />be seeded. The northern edge of Phase V-A will also be backfilled and <br />seeded. The dike along the river will have already been completed anu <br />seeded. <br />Phase VI <br />Thic area will be treated as Phase V, with the exception that tie west <br />edge will be backfilled and seeded, while both the east and south edges <br />will be progressively backfilled and seeded as overburden becomes available. <br />Phase VT-A <br />The west and north edges of Phase VI-A will be backfilled and seeded. <br />Ph^se VTT <br />There are areas along the southern boundary of Phase VII that consist <br />of a series of small abandoned gravel pits and the tail end of a slough; <br />these areas are rather boggy and marshy. As discussed in the mininb <br />plan these areas may or may not be mined depending upon available over- <br />burden. If the area is not mined the marsh areas ::ill be opened up to <br />
