• Map 2 <br />The Enhanced Reclamation Plan for this operation involves a combination of staining <br />and revegetation, primarily reforestation of selected portions of the quarry. Because any <br />Enhanced revegetation is still some time in the future, all of the Enhanced Reclamation at this <br />site has involved staining of rock faces. As shown on the map, four areas have been stained. <br />The most northerly stain was the most successful. The mottled pattern from a distance makes <br />the rock face actually look like it has been revegetated. The other stains were also successful in <br />darkening those portions of the quarry where it was applied. In most respects, these initial <br />stains are tests used to determine the various concentrations of stain that are most effective. <br />Now that has been determined, larger scale staining can be done. <br />During the next year, this staining will be expanded considerably. Even further <br />development in the techniques of staining this site may help to create patterns somewhat more <br />consistent with surrounding vegetation, although there is little hope a perfect match can be <br />made. Ultimately, the quarry face will be much darker and therefore less noticeable and <br />objectionable. <br />Annual Report Pikeview Quarry 95/96 M-77-211 Page 3 <br />
