9.11 SITE SPECIFIC RECLAMATION <br />All disturbed sites are number coded (in parentheses) and <br />ppc~n,d ~ ~ A' <br />correlated to the timetable, Table 5.1, and they map. The map shows <br />present and future affected land and the final contours. .Portions of <br />many of the disturbed sites have been or are being reclaimed; never- <br />theless, the Company is not claiming final reclamation on piny affected <br />land at this time. Future surface disturbance from mining operations <br />will be the continuous filling of the tailing deposition area which <br />cannot be reclaimed until mine closure. Therefore, it is expected <br />that the Company's required annual update would include a surety <br />adjustment, at which time we will request release of surety from some <br />areas while increasing the surety as the tailing deposition increases. <br />Mine Site (1) <br />It was not possible to save topsoil during construction of <br />the Henderson Mine Yard. The slope was too steep, the soil too rocky, <br />and some of the area was solid rock. Some topsoil was stockpiled <br />during development of the Urad Mine. Some of that topsoil will be <br />hauled to the mine site in 1978 and spread over the fill slopes <br />throughout the mine yard. (There is not nearly enough soil to cover <br />the estimated 15 acres of slopes, but it will be used to the: best <br />advantage possible.) These slopes will then be revegetated with the <br />seed mixture by hydromulching and hand seeding. Lodgepole and Engel- <br />mann spruce will be planted on the slopes, along with Colorado currant <br />and aspen transplants. <br />Colorado currant is a good invader on disturbed rocky north <br />facing slopes at high elevations.
