• 1.2.5 Cultural Practices <br /> In addition to 2000 replaced topsoil revegetation practices, Trapper also conducted several <br /> other cultural practices. These practices are addressed below. <br /> Mature Shrub Transplant Clumps <br /> In 2000 Trapper completed construction on one and a half mature shrub clumps in Ashmore <br /> Pit. Severe November weather precluded completion of one of the clumps. This clump will be <br /> completed in the fall of 2001 along with another new Ashmore Pit clump. <br /> Drainage Reconstruction <br /> Refer to Section 3.0 of this annual report. <br /> Contour Ditch Construction <br /> During 2000, Trapper did not construct any new contour ditches. Contour ditches will be <br /> constructed during the spring and fall of 2001 in Ashmore, Derringer and Flintlock pits. <br /> Stock Tank Construction <br /> No Stock Tanks were constructed during the 2000 field season. Refer to Section 6. <br /> Stock Tank Reclamation <br /> • No Stock Tanks were reclaimed during the 2000 field season. Refer to Section 6. <br /> Developmental Drill Sites <br /> Approximately two acres of developmental drill sites that require reclamation were disturbed <br /> during 2000. Severe early November storms precluded reclamation of these sites during <br /> 2000, but these sites will be reclaimed during the spring of 2001 as soon as ground conditions <br /> allow. The specifics and locations are presented in L. Johns's 2000 Developmental Drilling <br /> summary. <br /> Topsoil Piles <br /> Refer to Section 5. Topsoil stockpiles were sloped and seeded to the approved 2000 <br /> perennial topsoil pile mix. Approximately 16.6 acres were treated. <br /> Sediment Dams <br /> During 2000, East Flume#1 and Horse Gulch sediment ponds were constructed. East Pyeatt <br /> #1 sediment pond was cleaned. All embankment disturbance areas were broadcast-seeded <br /> with the approved seed mix. <br /> 1.2.6 Previously Revegetated Acres <br /> The locations and acres for all previously revegetated areas, seeded to perennial species, are <br /> presented in Map(s) 1.0. To date, Trapper has revegetated approximately 3,157.03 acres <br /> (143.60 acres in 2000)within the boundaries of active mining and has revegetated an <br /> additional 342 acres within the permit boundary but outside topsoil stripping limits. <br /> . Not shown on Map(s) 1.0 in this annual report are the areas seeded to temporary perennial <br /> mixes that will require final reclamation prior to the end of the project(life of mine). <br /> FVL 301 <br /> [DMG=RECtert141 <br />
