The columns which simply state TS and OB Volumes aze for the amounts of topsoil and overburden stripped from each phase. The column titled Material needed to reclaim is the amount of material which is required in the reclamation of that phase. Note [hat the phases which have very high amounts of material needed to reclaim azea those phases in which a peninsula or a portion of a peninsula will be backfilled. As seen above, 95% of the material stripped will be used in reclamation. This plan is simply to allow some contingency so that more topsoil and overburden is not planned in reclamation than is stripped. T~soil Berm Stockpile The topsoil will be stockpiled to the west of the mining azea in a berm. The berm will be installed at a height of 8 ft. The berm width will be 48 ft. All stockpile slopes will be 3.OH:1 V or less. The stockpile calculations can be seen in Table D-7. Anderson Pit December OS D-13
