This phase is doing very <br />well. There is a little bit of erosion work yet to be accomplished in the bottom area of this phase. <br />- The West Phase is about 80%back-sloped. There is no longer any mining activity taking place on <br />this phase. Approximately 50% of this phase has been mulched for erosion purposes and to provide <br />nutrients to the soil. We hope [o have topsoil and seeding in place this summer. <br />/ Reclamation Accomplished during the preceding year: <br />-The East phase has had no reclamation activity in the preceding year. It has already been re-seeded <br />and reclaimed. We are currently waiting for growth to come in a little more than what presently <br />exists. <br />- The West Phase has received a mulch application. <br />/ New Disturbances that are anticipated to occur during the upcoming year: There will be no <br />further mining disturbances in either the East or West Phase. <br />/ Reclamation that will be performed during the upcoming year: <br />- The East Phase will continue to be reclaimed in the next year. <br />- The West Phase will receive topsoil and seeding in the next year. <br />Attachments: Crystal Pit Map and Seeding Chart ~/'v <br />102 South Weber Street <br />P.t).
