In order to provide some stabilization to the east end of the shop slope which was badly slumping the previous year, a berm was initiated at the base of the slope. Also, some fill was placed across the road and just east of the office in order to provide a small stockpile area and additional parking. The outslopes of this area were graded and seeded. Also, the drainage channel east of the road was graded and seeded. Later this channel will be stabilized with rip rap and drop structures. All total about 19 acres of the operation is under some stage of reclamation, and most of that is under some stage of revegetation. This area does not include the approximately 5 acres of the old Peter Kiewit stockpile area which has been reclaimed even though it is not part of the mining plan. There is, in total, about 23 acres under some stage of reclamation.
