They are excavating 26,200 cubic yards but <br />only using 16,600 cubic yards for the bench. At reclamation they are only <br />backfilling 7300 cubic yards. I assume they are backfilling less than half <br />of the amount of material in the fill for stability reasons. Do you agree <br />that this is the case? What about AOC? I am planning to ask for a post- <br />mining topography map for this area, so that may help. <br />
