ORG. STIPS. 22 & 26 <br /> Dear Jim, <br /> Inclosed is the report from Geo-Hydro and our updated maps showing <br /> the locations of the completed test sections . We have taken <br /> Geo-Hydros six suggested test section types and combined them <br /> into four test sections; <br /> 1. ,:,�SECTION 1. High soil cut road <br /> 1. �' <br /> SECTION 2. High rock cut - mine bench <br /> ,,,,,::::::::SECTION 3 . High thick fill road <br /> 2. <br /> SECTION 4 . High thick fill mine bench <br /> 3. SECTION 5. High thin sliver fill <br /> 4 . SECTION 6 . Severe erosion area <br /> All of these four test sections were completed this fall at <br /> #4 Mine. <br /> SECTION 1 . Combines the Geo-Hydro sections 1 & 2. The location <br /> at #4 Mine was well suited as it included a road and mine bench <br /> cut above the old #4 Mine lower bin pad . (See MCR crossections <br /> & location map for all sections. ) <br /> SECTION 2 . Combines the Geo-Hydro sections 3 & 4 . the location <br /> also at the #4Mine lower bin pad was ideally suited for a high <br /> thick fill. <br /> SECTION 3. Geo-Hydro 5 is located just east of the #4 Mine lower <br /> bin pad on the edge of the truck haul road. <br /> SECTION 4 . Geo-Hydro 6 is located on the north side of the #4 <br /> Mine lower bin pad. It is also the north slope vegetation test <br /> plot. The hillside was severally eroded before being scarified <br /> by a dragline. The larger rill & gullies were filled with rocks <br /> and mulch , then the entire hillside (150*100) was seeded, mulched <br /> and covered with netting. <br />
