The opening of extraction activities has been deferred, possibly for another two years, and the DMG will be notified upon commencement of this Phase of the Pit 1 Permit. Locations of structures and yards are identified and measured and will be `extracted from the permit area, leaving 76.3945E acres for extraction activities. Soil salvage will occur over the entire affected area, and volume will be saved adequate to resod affected lands remaining above water to a minimum depth of six (6) inches.
