SECTION 3.0 2006 Drainage Reconstruction, Improvement and <br />Repairs at Trapper Mine <br />3.1 Drainage Reconstruction 1987-2006 <br />At Trapper Mine, all or portions of six major drainageways (Coyote, Johnson, Buzzard, No-Name, <br />Flume and Pyeatt) and their tributaries have been regraded and appropriately treated to reduce the <br />erosion rate and assist in permanent channel stabilization from 1987 through 2006. At the conclusion <br />of the 2006 field season, approximately 88,800 linear feet (16.82 miles) of permanent drainage <br />reconstruction had been completed at Trapper Mine (Map 1). In 2006, approximately 2,300 linear feet <br />of permanent drainage reconstruction was completed in East Pyeatt and Oak drainages. <br />3.2 Drainage Improvements and Repairs <br />Improvements and repairs were performed to provide benefits to all drainages treated in 1987-2006 as <br />well as portions of undisturbed and disturbed drainage segments. Drainage improvements include <br />dozer basins constructed in newly stripped topsoil areas and on newly regraded spoils. Drainage repair <br />and enhancement was completed on approximately 8,100 linear feet of drainageways (Pyeatt, Flume <br />and Oak drainages) during the 2006 field season. <br />GCR 2/07 <br />]DRMS\O6DRte~rt3-1] <br />I <br />
