• conditions caused delays during the quarter, and completion of the cover project <br />for the season was on November 11, 1985. The cover project ended 1,000 - 1,500 <br />cy short on approximately 1/3 acre of the south west corner of the lower bench. <br />Diagram 1 shows the extent of fill on the north and south ends of the bench <br />and Diagram 2 shows the final contours of the cover for the quarter. The area <br />short of cover is circled on Diagram 2. <br />Rock around the toe was generally placed during the initial excavation of the <br />project. During this quarter all but a 20' segiment on the south end and 40' on <br />the north end was placed. On the north end the rock was placed along the toe <br />of the entire slope and the existing slope. This was done to satisfy the initial <br />intent of the rock-erosion control in the event of extremely high water in Hubbard <br />Creek. Due to the large irregular shape of the rock the toe has an irregular <br />blocky appearance rather than the uniform 10' high by 20' wide toe shown in <br />the plans. <br />The four remaining stability monuments were placed along the top edge of the bench <br />• on November 7, 1985. In the process of installing these monuments a fourth <br />piezometer was installed near S-6. <br />Prior to seeding six soil samples were taken to determine fertilizer requirements. <br />(see attached report). Samples #3 and #6 were in areas where topsoil has been <br />adequately distributed. The topsoil samples were not much different than the other <br />colluvium with respect to fertility, texture and salinity. The seed mix shown on <br />the attached copy of the bag labels was broadcast seeded at a rate of 30 pounds <br />per acre p.l.s. November 14, 1985. The suggested fertilizer was broadcast the <br />same day. Mulching at a rate of 1} - 2 tons of oatstraw per acre was done <br />November 21 - 23, 1985. Netting was stapled down on 1/4 of the slope but was <br />discontinued due to heavy snow. <br />The work remaining to complete the bench is as follows: Complete the cover on <br />the southwest end of the middle bench, complete rock placement around the toe, <br />and install a ditch around the Yoe to connect the underdrains. <br />• The work done this quarter was done according to the approved plan, unless <br />otherwise stated herein, as specified in the Mine Bench Stabilization technical <br />revision submitted to Colora do Mined Land Reclamation August 9, 1984 and it's <br />
