An example would be the construction of <br />utilities, streets, curb and gutter, etc. that has taken place <br />on land that we have reclaimed and developed at our Industrial <br />' Park site. <br />' Basic: <br /> 1. Grading The reclamation process is concurrent with mining, <br />' i.e., mined areas are reclaimed as the next area is being <br />' prepared for mining. Using topsoil and other overburden removed <br /> before the mining process, the ground surface is shaped into <br />' final contours, reestablishing land forms or creating new land <br /> forms for future use. Care is taken to preserve the last growing <br />' soils for use in revegetating the reclaimed areas. In previously <br /> mined but reclaimed sites, steep slopes are regraded to more <br />' <br /> gentle conditions, overburden which had been stored or stockpiled <br />' is spread or used to create land forms. The equipment used in <br /> mining will generally be used in reclamation operations. <br />' <br /> 2. Drainage The reclamation of this mined site is designed so <br />' as to maintain the desired drainage conditions (dry site, marsh <br /> or lake).
