(~ <br />^ <br />6.2 Impact on Reclamation <br />Reclamation of the Diversion Ditch Cut (Zone 3-B) will <br />consist of the elimination of the diversion ditch located at <br />the toe of the cut. The ditch will be backfilled with the <br />material of the Fan Level Fill (Zone 1-D). Additional material <br />from the same source will be placed against the lower part of <br />the cut (see Reclamation Plan, Figure 29, Section 3-B, <br />Recommended Configuration). This additional material will form <br />a buttress and it will reduce the overall slope angle of the <br />cut. The existing cut will be flattened, if necessary, to a <br />maximum slope of 1.5(H): 1(V), and revegetated. <br />Our stability analyses indicate that adequate safety <br />factors for reclaimed slopes would be achieved with a uniform <br />slope of 1.5(H) 1(V) (cut in soils). The buttress at the toe <br />of the slope will further increase its stability. The <br />inclinometer measurements confirm the stability of the overall <br />slope under its current configuration. <br />• • ,t <br /> <br />We hope that this evaluation of stability monitoring is <br />satisfactory for your purpose. <br />Graeme Major <br />Senior Geotechnical Engineer <br />Ti l't~l ~t~-o ~! <br />Michal Hukovansky <br />Senior Engineering Geologist <br /> <br />6 <br />R .. ceoa+gococodw~nw,iNC. _ <br />
