<br /> <br />• Reclamation work will proceed with little new topsoil capping. A north <br /> facing bench will be added under present plans as well as a west facing <br />area in the pit reclamation effort. The Monogram Mesa road will <br />be relocated which may require vegetative stabilization of the road cut. <br />Year 5 <br />The Phase II southern area of the pit will be the major excavation site <br />in year 5. Overburden will still be deposited in the waste dump area <br />but new topsoil capping is projected. Due to this fact no new reclamation <br />will be started but rather an intensive assessment of the existing test <br />plots will be undertaken. <br />Year 6 <br />• This stage is primarily ore extraction with no new overburden operations <br />(Figure D.5-7). <br />Year 7 <br />Continuing ore removal from the southern portion of the pit and additional <br />reclamation in the same area highlights this stage of production (Figure <br />D.5-8). <br />Year 8 <br />Ore extraction is complete in the northern portion of the pit allowing <br />overburden backfilling in the seventh month. Some new reclamation sites <br />will be available both on the overburden pile and north pit areas. <br /> <br />D'6 <br />
