the blending of naturals and tines from the crushing,%screening operation with the available topsoil. <br />All additional fines will be used to fill in the large drainage passing though the permit area. Plans <br />for the filling of the valley are included at the end of this section <br />North Yit'1'opsoil Stockpile <br />The topsoil will be stockpiled to the west of the mining azea in a berm. The berm will be installed <br />at a height of 3 ft. All stockpile slopes will be 2H:1 V or less. A triangular section will be added <br />to the berm as seen in Map C-2. This area will provide the necessary storage volume of 2,468 CY <br />for the topsoil stockpile. If a height of 3 ft does not provide enough storage the triangular section <br />will be heightened to provide additional storage. All topsoil stockpiles will be seeded immedi- <br />ately after placement. <br />South Pit'i'opsoil Stockpile <br />The topsoil from the South Pit Area 1 will be stored in two stockpiles. The stockpile will be di- <br />vided in two by an small existing access road. This access may or may not be left in place. The <br />Berm # ]will provide storage for approximately 1;000 CY. The remaining ],614 CY oftopsoil <br />will be stored in Berm #2. These berms will be sloped at 2H:1 V or less. Again the height will <br />vary depending on actual topsoil volumes in-bank. All topsoil stockpiles will be seeded immedi- <br />ately after placement. <br />Overburden <br />Some areas of the site are expected to have little to no overburden while others may have up 20' of <br />overburden. Overburden will be stripped and directly placed into its final location or stockpiled. <br />Overburden will be used to reclaim the bench area of the pit. After excavation has taken place the <br />bench will be brought back to the approximate bench elevation of (6620'-6630'). If extra over- <br />burden exists, it will be used to raise the entire bench elevation or flatten the slopes along the <br />western edge of the bench. If insufficient overburden exist, the fill will be provided by naturals or <br />fines produced by the operation. The elevation is based on the current elevation of the mined ar- <br />eas shown in the Spring of 2003 survey. <br />Cugnini 12103 17 <br />
