<br />Mature Shrub Transplant Clumps <br />In 2006, Trapper completed two new mature shrub clumps, one in Flintlock pit and another in <br />East Flintlock pit. A third clump was started in Flintlock pit and will be completed in 2007. At <br />least one new shrub clump is planned for construction in the fall of 2007. <br />Drainage Reconstruction <br />Refer to Section 3.0 of this annual report. <br />Contour Ditch Construction <br />During 2006, Trapper constructed contour ditches in new reclaimed areas of Flintlock pit <br />(MaP 1)• <br />Stock Tank Construction <br />No new Stock Tanks were constructed during the 2006 field season. Refer to Section 6. <br />Stock Tank Reclamation <br />No Stock Tanks were reclaimed during the 2006 field season. Refer to Section 6. <br />Developmental Drill Sites <br />During the 2006 Developmental Drilling season 50 holes were completed. Of these holes, 41 <br />developmental drill sites were disturbed that required regrading and seeding. All other <br />development drill sites are included within pit advancement disturbance by the end of 2007. <br />Regraded holes were primarily located in the eastern portion of the mine. <br />Topsoil Piles <br />Refer to Section 5. Topsoil stockpiles were sloped and seeded to the approved 2006 <br />perennial topsoil pile mix. Approximately 9.2 acres were treated. <br />Sediment Dams <br />No sediment control impoundments were cleaned in 2006. All structures were maintained <br />and monitored during the year. Cleaning of several ponds is anticipated for 2007. <br />1.2.6 Previously Revegetated Acres <br />The locations and acres for all previously revegetated areas, seeded to perennial species, are <br />presented in Map(s) 1. To date, Trapper has revegetated approximately 3370.57 acres <br />(53.87 acres in 2006) within the boundaries of active mining and has revegetated an <br />additional 516.0 acres within the permit boundary but outside topsoil stripping limits. Of the <br />total revegetated acres, 2620.5 reclaimed acres have received final phase III bond release <br />(762.8 in 2006.) <br />Not shown on Map(s) 1.0 in this annual report are the areas seeded to temporary perennial <br />mixes that will require final reclamation prior to the end of the project (life of mine). <br />t=vusow~cR a~o~ <br />[DRMS\06RECtebt-0] <br />
