<br />REVEGETATED: As was reported last year, about 3 acres <br />has been placed in a revegetation status. This land is west <br />of Academy and is the area labeled as being "reseeded", as <br />shown on the 1987-1988 annual report map. No other land has <br />actually been placed in final revegetation because no other <br />land is available for final revegetation treatment. <br />RULE 2.41(4): THE SPECIES OF VEGETATION PLANTED, THE <br />LOCATIONS AND APPROXIMATE DATES OF PLANTING. <br />No planting was done last year. Please refer to the <br />1986-1987 annual report for a description of what was <br />planted on the area which was reseeded. <br />RULE 2.41 5 THE TYPE AND APPROXIMATE QUANTITY OF <br />FERTILIZERS, ORGANIC MATERIAL, OR SOIL CONDITIONERS USED AND <br />LOCATION OF USE. <br />No fertilizers or soil amendments were applied as no <br />seeding occurred. No additional fertilizers or soil <br />amendments were added to areas which were previously seeded. <br />These areas are doing well without the benefit of such <br />materials. <br />RULE 2.41(6): AN APPRAISAL OF THE SUCCESS OF RECLAMATION <br />EFFORTS, AND IN THE EVENT OF FAILURE OF ANY EFFORTS, A SHORT <br />NARRATIVE ON THE SUSPECTED OR DETERMINED CAUSE OF SUCH <br />FAILURE. <br />Please refer to previous annual reports for a <br />discussion of the successes with the limited amount of <br />revegetation which has been implemented at [his operation. <br />With respect to the success of the physical land <br />alterations produced by the removal of the sand dike, this <br />process is showing excellent results. The improvement on <br />the Sand Pit to the north is tremendous. Improvements on <br />this site, although less significant because this site was <br />already open, are also important. The amount of land where <br />possible building could occur in the future has been more <br />fully integrated with the surrounding land structure. It <br />appears that within the next decade these two sites have the <br />potential of becoming excellent locations for industrial <br />development. In that respect, the reclamation work <br />accomplished through the mining process is showing excellent <br />success. <br />FILE 73-7 ANNUAL REPORT - 1989/1990 PAGE 3 OF 4 <br />
