1 <br />1 <br />' S-04. RECLAMATION RECOMMENDATIONS <br />' After the slope in the subject area is stabilized and mining is complete in that area, the slope can be <br />remediated with soil similar to other pit slopes. For the proposed interim reconfiguration, Haley & <br />Aldrich recommends placing a wedge of soil approximately 40 ft wide with a slope of between <br />I.SH:IV and 2H:IV against the back of each bench. This soil wedge will extend between 20 and 30 <br />' ft up the highwall for each bench forming a stabilizing buttress. <br />The soil berm should not extend for more than 40 ft horizontally, nor leave less than 20 ft of bench <br />' free of soil to prevent adding load to the outside edges (break points) of the benches. Placement of a <br />40 ft wide soil wedge on the 60 ft wide benches leaves approximately 20 ft for access and other uses. <br />If falling or rolling rocks are a problem or a concern, small berms could be constructed at the toe of <br />' each soil wedge to stop rolling rocks. <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br /> <br />1 <br />1 <br />1 <br /> <br />14 <br />RPo"A37.16] <br />~~~-~~ <br />
