This will help to <br />reduce erosion 0f the stockpile, and mere importantly will <br />reduce or prevent the establishment 0f no3:lous weeds. <br />FollooJinc mining a=tivity, the area should be graded <br />and shaped to the desired contours, preferably with no <br />slopes steeper than 2 1%2:1. Topsoil, if available, should <br />be spread out over the area, and then ripped deep enough <br />
