For every 50 vertical feet there <br />(would be a 15-foot wide access bench for maintenance <br />and other purposes.

In honesty, we do toot have <br />absolute concurrence on this point. <br />What we have settled on is ghat Battle <br />Mountain Resources is committed to salvaging enough <br />topsoil from each of the facility areas to ensure <br />that at least -- well, to ensure that 18 inches of <br />topsoil can be replaced on each of the reclaimed <br />areas. <br />Battle Mountain will construct and <br />maintain revegetation test plots on the various <br />facilities, each plot varying in aspect and <br />topography of slope so we have a range of what can <br />be expected postmining. They'll experiment. with <br />different various replacement depths and try to in <br />
