<br />has been protected from the refuse by wood berms. <br />The refuse pile is in a benched configuration and is <br />extending upward. Chemical analysis of the refuse material is <br />presented in Table 4. All of the parameters analyzed are <br />considered non-toxic for revegetation. Old slopes on the site are <br />at a ratio of one horizontal to one vertical with the new portion <br />at a ratio of two horizontal to one vertical. Reclamation of the <br />refuse pile is progressing up slope, a couple of lifts behind the <br />dumping of new refuse. Six to twevle inches of topsoil is placed <br />over the refuse material. <br />• Vegetation test plots were established on each lift and <br />1 <br />correspond to a year of reclamation activities. Soil cover in <br />all areas was generally six to twelve inches. In 1983, vegeta- <br />tion was sampled on the various terraces to determine cover and <br />production. This analysis indicated that the revegetation success <br />criteria could be met on the refuse disposal area utilizing only <br />7 to 12 inches of cover. Recommendations of this study included: <br />utilizing as much soil cover as possible, with 12 inches being <br />sufficient for revegetation success; utilization of native <br />species adapted for high altitude; uniform topsoil replacement <br />depth; and limiting the slope to 2(h):1(v). <br />The CMLRD has agreed with this analysis and has granted a <br />variance for the 4 foot cover requirement by stating in the <br />3-3 <br />
