sediment pond areas, the Hawken Pit dragline haulroad area and a former topsoil stockpile location in Flintlock pit. 1.2.5 Cultural Practices In addition to 2003 replaced topsoil revegetation practices, Trapper also conducted several other cultural practices. These practices are addressed below. Mature Shrub Transplant Clumps In 2003, Trapper did not construct any new mature shrub clumps because of an early November snow storm that precluded planned construction. Anew shrub clump is planned for construction in the fall of 2004 in Flintlock Pit. Drainage Reconstruction Refer to Section 3.0 of this annual report. Contour Ditch Construction During 2003, Trapper constructed contour ditches in new reclaimed areas of Derringer and Flintlock pits (Map 1). Stock Tank Construction No new Stock Tanks were constructed during the 2003 field season. Refer to Section 6. Stock Tank Reclamation No Stock Tanks were reclaimed during the 2003 field season. Refer to Section 6. Develoomenta! Drill Sites No developmental drill sites were disturbed during 2003 that require reclamation. All 2003 development drill sites will be included within pit advance disturbance by the end of 2004. Topsoil Piles Refer to Section 5. Topsoil stockpiles were sloped and seeded to the approved 2003 perennial topsoil pile mix. Approximately 10.6 acres were treated. Sediment Dams During 2003, no new sediment ponds were constructed. No Name #2 and #4 and East Flume sediment ponds were cleaned. East Pyeatt #1 embankment was raised approximately one foot and the upsiope embankment of East Pyeatt #3 was lined with rock. All embankment disturbance areas were broadcast-seeded with the approved seed mix. NPDES Sites 003, 006 and 010 were removed from monitoring requirements due to Phase II and III bond release. East Buaard #1 and #2 and West Buaard #1 and #2 ponds were reclaimed. West Buuard #3 and Elk #1 ponds will remain as permanent structures in accordance with TR-92.
