Topsoil and overburden stripping will then take place in Area 3. The table below shows the drill <br />data and average thicknesses for Area 3: <br />Area 3 <br />Hole # Soil/Overburden <br />Depth Gravel Thickness Total Depth <br />9 4.0 21.0 25.0 <br />10 4.0 22.0 26.0 <br />11 9.0 17.0 26.0 <br />12 2.5 23.5 26.0 <br />13 6.0 17.0 23.0 <br />14 7.0 18.0 25.0 <br />15 7.0 17.5 24.5 <br />16 4.0 19.0 23.0 <br />17 5.5 18.5 24.0 <br />I S 5.5 18.5 24.0 <br />19 4.0 Z0.5 Z4.5 <br />20 4.0 20.0 24.0 <br />26 2.5 20.5 23.0 <br />27 11.0 13.0 24.0 <br />28 LS 22.5 24.0 <br />Average 5.2 19.2 24.4 <br />Since Area 3 is 23.4 acres in size, an average depth of 5.2 feet yields 196,310 cy of soil/overburden. <br />Subtracting the amount left for 2H:1V slopes (84,000 cy) yields 156,500 cy to be moved. Part of <br />the overburden and topsoil from Area 3 will be backfilled in part of Area 2 to create 3H:1V <br />sideslopes and provide a peninsula of land that will later be used for industrial use. The remainder <br />of the soil and overburden will be used to backfill the slopes of Area 3 and provide fill for some <br />areas that will be made into land parcels after reclamation.
