iii iiiiiiiiiiiu iii <br />999 <br />Mined Land Reclamation <br />July 23, 1979 <br />Page 2 <br />Our plan still remains to progress to a sequential restoration on the property <br />in accordance with the plan depicted on the topographical map submitted with <br />this annual report. We have reshaped additional berms along the south end of <br />the property and will re-seed at the conclusion of warmer weather. Topsoil is <br />presently on these berms and should establish seed readily. <br />Final Benches <br />The final benches and the restoration thereof are, of course, some years away yet. <br />Fugitive dust <br />We feel we are presently using sufficient water, along with proper spray bar <br />equipment in efforts to comply with dust emission standards. An additional water <br />surge tank is presently being added to reinforce water capabilities. <br />Roads <br />All back slopes have been seeded and the establishment appears to be successful. <br />The roadtop surfaces have been watered and oiled to prevent dust. <br />East berm <br />This berm has been enlarged and continues to show evidences of natural vegetation <br />which has established itself. The seed is progressing satisfactorily as well. <br />This berm not only serves aesthetic functions, but prevents potential surface <br />water from draining in an uncontrolled manner. <br />We shall, in the future as we have in the past, continue to update our performance <br />concerning land stabilization and reclamation. <br />We feel the approved reclamation plan is progressing satisfactorily and according <br />to the timetable approved in the original application. <br />Listed below is additional information: <br />1.
