Once mining is completed in Mining Area 1 the topsoil of Mining Area 2 will be stripped and used to <br />reclaim the slopes of Area 1. A table of expected mining lives for the two North Pit areas are included <br />in table D-3. The life of an area is based on the anticipated annual avera a tonnage. After mining is <br />completed in the North Pit and while the South Pit is being developed and mined, the North Pit slopes <br />will be reclaimed and isolated from construction activity. For further reclamation description please <br />see Exhibit E. <br />North Pit Area Description Acreage <br />Mining Area 1 6.42 <br />Mining Area 2 6.41 <br />Total Permit Area 12.83 <br />Table D-2 <br />North Pit Tonna a er Area <br />Area Acres Tons Life (years <br />1 6.12 328,919 0. <br />2 6.09 327,307 0. <br />oral 12.21 656 226 1. <br />Table D-3 <br />South Pit <br />Prepazations for the South Pit will be very similar to the North Pit. A breakdown of the estimated <br />South Pit aeeas are included in Table D-4. Before mining, ditches #1, 2, 6, and 7 will be built or <br />improved. An isolation berm will be consiructed from bank material along the downhill border of the <br />South Pit mining area as mining progresses. After all containment structures aze constructed, the <br />topsoil from South Pit Mining Area 1 will be stripped and placed along the uphill edge of the South <br />Pit. Topsoil from future phases will be used to reclaim the slopes of previous areas. This will reduce <br />material moving as well as reduce the maximum azea to be reclaimed at any one time. A table of <br />expected mining lives for each area are included in Table D-5. The life of an azea is based on the <br />anticipated annual aver a tonnage. <br />South Pit Area Description Acreage <br />Mining Area 1 7.28 <br />Mining Area 2 6.48 <br />Mining Area 3 8.22 <br />Mining Area 4 6.05 <br />Mining Area 5 5.19 <br />Total Permit Area 33.22 <br />Table D-4 <br />Cugnini 12103 <br />
