1 <br />The mine portal is currently secured by a locked steel dour. The same <br />means will be used to secure entry upon reclamation but allow future access <br />to the underground workings if desired. <br />' Any waste rock produced from the mine will be deposited on the <br />existing portions of the dump. The material will be placed at the angle of <br />' repose or slightly gentler slope which will generally correspond with the <br />slopes of the adjacent rock dump and the natural hillside. <br />' Minor site grading will be done as necessary to round off the crest of <br />' the dump on those areas affected, but the general configuration of the <br />existing waste rock piles will remain upon completion of operations. <br />' Two scenarios exist for reclamation of the area of the waste rock dump <br />subject for removal. Under both scenarios, the amount of grading to be <br />done is minimal and will probably be done in conjunction with the <br />' operation. <br />1. Most or all of the dump may be removed in which case the <br />' portions of any remaining rock pile will be smooth graded, <br />if necessary, to the approximate contour of the ground. <br />' 2. Only a portion of the rock dump may be removed leaving <br />a cut slope(s) where the material was removed relative to <br />the remainder of the pile. In this event, the cut slopes <br />will be reduced to the angle of repose or less as a stabil- <br />' ization measure. This technique would approximate the <br />existing and remaining configuration of the rock pile. <br />' This area is primarily void of soil as discussed in Exhibits B, C. <br />' The extent of soil, if any, that may beneath the rock dump is unknown. If <br />any soil is encountered beneath the pile, or if any local areas of <br />' soil/vegetation are disturbed during the operation, the areas will be <br />seeded, if necessary, with the mixture appearing below. These areas are <br />expected to be less than about one acre in extent. Also, the reclamation <br />' plan does not propose to seed any other areas where no vegetation currently <br />' -20- <br />
