6,4 Toasoilina <br />a) Overburden and topsoil will be scraped, stockpiled and <br />seeded if left more than one growing season. <br />b) Where practicable, trees on the site will remain <br />undisturbed, however, it is anticipated that some trees will <br />need to be removed during mining Phases I attd III. Any <br />trees that are removed will be put to an appropriate <br />beneficial use. <br />c) The stockpiles will be placed just outside the pit area. <br />The area of the stockpiles has been considered in the <br />calculation of affected area. <br />d) The final surface will be graded to insure stability of the <br />pit side slopes. <br />e) The existing overburden and topsoil are an adequate growth <br />medium with fertilizer. <br />f) Soil amendments will be added as deemed necessary. <br />g) No vegetation piles are anticipated. <br />6.5 Aeveaetation <br />a) Revegetation with native species is part of the reclamation <br />plan. <br />b) Ho portion of the area will be reclaimed as forest land. <br />c) The choice of reclamation for this site is as pastureland. <br />The slopes will be a maxlmum of 3:1, gentle enough for <br />livestock and wildlife to traverse. Seeding will be done by <br />either broadcasting or drilling. <br />d) Environmental factors have been considered in the chosen <br />reclamation plan. Slopes will be adequately stabilized by <br />compaction during the grading operation. Further surface <br />stability will be provided by mulching and the vegetation as <br />it becomes established. Use as pasture in revegetated areas <br />will not begin until the vegetation has become well <br />established. <br />e) All proper methods and techniques normal to Bite preparation <br />and protection for agriculture will be followed in order to <br />establish vegetation in accordance with the reclamation <br />plan. <br />E-3 <br />
