The Mine ceased <br />production December 31, 1995. During 1996, the mine was sealed, surface facilities removed, and <br />disturbed areas backfilled and graded; and some areas seeded. <br />(n 1997 a borrow azea was permitted (TR-43) to obtain sufficient material to meet the depth of cover <br />requirement fotthe Golden Eagle refuse disposal area (RDA). In May 1997, approximately one and one- <br />half to two feet of topsoil was stripped from the borrow area located southwest of the mine facilities. This <br />material was transported to and spread on the RDA. Test pits were excavated to determine the amount of <br />additional soil material ^ecessary to meet the requirements of three feet of subsoil and one foot of topsoil . <br />After the RDA area had been graded and contoured, additional random test piss were dug to ensure proper <br />cover. The area was then seeded with the rangeland seed mix and mulch at two tons of straw per acre. <br />Fertilizer was then broadcast at the rate of 80 Ib. per acre of P205 and 60 Ib. per acre of nitrogen. The <br />borrow area was ripped on contour, and seeded, mulched and fertilizer applied. <br />Several small areas required minor regrading and erosion control in 1997: The eastwardly flowing <br />diversion ditch at the RDA, and the portal fill area. <br />A map detailing the 1996-97 reclamation areas, topsoil distribution, and seeding will be submitted under <br />separate cover. This map is to be used in reference with table ARR-1997-lalso to be submitted. <br />Please call me if you have any questions or require additional information. <br />Si ~ Y, <br />~14~-tr--~-- <br />Ronald G.
