As a consequence, no significant quantities of mine development <br />waste are produced and the limited quantities of mine development waste <br />material which are produced can be readily disposed of in mined-out areas. <br />In order to establish the mine portal and facilities area, Dorchester <br />excavated material from the face-up area and utilized the excavated <br />material as fill in the portal bench and mine facilities area. None of <br />the excavated material was stockpiled and all of the fill material has <br />been placed in a stable configuration which will not be significantly <br />• altered by future mining or reclamation activities. <br />• <br />4.09-1 <br />
