.; •: ~ • <br />Tract B: topsoil stockpile. <br />Tract C: mineral extraction, roads, topsoil stockpile. <br />Wilson Tract: roads. <br />RULE 2.41(2): No land has been fully reclaimed. We are aware that <br />contemporaneous reclamation is important to good reclamation, but the <br />nature of the quarry at this tore does not permit a close conjunction of <br />mining and reclamation, It is anticipated that in this next year, sane <br />seeding can occur in some mined out areas. If that occurs, then it <br />would be one year ahead of the original, approved reclamation timetable. <br />RULE 2.41(3): In last year's report it was noted that two benches <br />in Tract C would be completed. During this year rtr~re benches were <br />completed. They must be covered with plant growth medium and seeded. <br />It was also noted that the old road area in Tract A-1 would be <br />graded and seeded. This was delayed so as to allow a possible conjunction <br />of this work with the building of the new road. <br />RULE 2.41(4): No planting occurred. <br />RULE 2.41(5): Because no planting occurred, no soil amendments <br />were used. <br />RULE 2.41(6): Last year it was noted that some diffiailties were <br />encountered with the floor of the benches and that a change in the <br />blasting pattern helped to correct the problem, Since then, rrore benches <br />have been cut and the floors are remaining acceptably level. <br />To provide a coverage of plant growth mediiun on the benches, soil <br />and weathered parent material was shot down over the benches. This was <br />the first attempt at such a treatment and although certain aspects did <br />not develop as we had hoped, the approach produced a better condition <br />
