<br />Revised 9/16/82 <br />C ~ <br />J <br />removal and stockpiling. Plates 7,8, and 9 show the pit :and <br />dumps at the end of stages 1,2, and 3. The upper seam will be <br />mined along with the up-faulted part of the lower seam at the <br />northeast corner of the deposit. Mining will start at the upper <br />end of the deposit and proceed northwest to the property <br />boundary. Overburden will be placed on the East Dump in the <br />mining area. Topsoil will be removed before mining using <br />scrapers guided by stakes outlining areas shown in Plate 15. <br />Reclamation of the eastern part of Stage 1 will occur at the end <br />of mining of Stage 1. <br />Stages 4-5. Reference should be made to Table 4 and to Plate <br />10. A V-shaped pit will be made to remove the lower seam along <br />the steep, southwest limb of the syncline. During this and <br />essentially all of the rest of the lower seam mining, a bony zone <br />3 to 5 feet thick and about 5 feet above the base of the seam <br />will be selectively removed and put with the overburden. <br />1 <br />D-3(a) <br />
