The east edge of Phase IV will also be backfilled and <br />seeded. <br />Phase IV-A <br />The areas north of abandoned pits "A" and `'B" will not be mined, - <br />however, some light grading will be done with a dozer to reduce pre- <br />eicisting highwalls in an effort to create shoreline which will be more <br />attractive to water fowl. A "ribbon" of land will be iefr undisturbed <br />between existinb bodies of water and the newly created water surface <br />with the exception of backfilling tha mina side. The area around the <br />office and Plant Site II will be backfilled as will the remaining <br />portion of road side between Plant Site II and the office area. The <br />causeway connecting the office site and the northern portion of Yhase <br />IV-A will be backfilled. All backfilled area will be graded and seeded. <br />Phase V <br />The ncrth and west boundaries will be backfilled and seeded. The east <br />edge will also be backfilled but the shoreline areas will not be seeded <br />until the maximum amount of overburden has been backfilled along the <br />ease edge. Titis amo~~nt will depend upon the amount of available over- <br />burden. As areas along the east edge become large enough not to be <br />disturbed by future backfilling operations, they will be seeded. Upon <br />completion of backfilling in Phase V, the shoreline area will b? seeded. <br />Phase V-A <br />A ribbon of Land will be left around the abandoned pit "A" along the <br />ease edge of Phase V-A. The southern edge of the area will be back- <br />filled as will the-edges of the two plant sites at the southeast and <br />southwest corners of the area. The ribbon of land around the abandoned <br />gra;~el pit "P.." will also be backfilled. These backfilled areas will <br />be seeded. The northern edge of Phase V-A will also be backfilled and <br />seeded. The dike along the river will have already been completed ant <br />seeded. <br />Phase VI <br />T_hic area will be treated as Phase V, with the exception that the west <br />edge will be backfilled and seeded, while both the east and south edges <br />will be progressively backfilled and seeded as overburden becomes available. <br />Phase VI-A <br />The west and rotth edges of Phase Vl-A will be backfilled and seeded. <br />Ph^se VII <br />There are areas along the southern boundary of Phase VII that consist <br />of a series of small abandoned gravel pits and the tail end of a slough; <br />these areas are rather boggy and marshy. As discussed in the mining <br />plan these areas may or may not be mined depending upon available over- <br />burden. If the area is not mined the marsh areas ::ill be opened up to <br />
