i <br /> Additional priority interim reclamation involves No. 3 dam and <br /> No. 5 dam. Initial work on stabilizing and reclaiming No. 5 dam <br /> will begin in 1989. Rock material from the east edge of the <br /> Mayflower tailing pond will be removed and placed on the dam <br /> face to a depth of 18"-36" . This rock will grade 7-15% <200 <br /> mesh and 20-40% >31' . Ultimately, soil materials may be placed <br /> over the rock face and reseeded in the standard manner . In <br /> addition, the beach area of the Mayflower tailing pond flat will <br /> be covered with 6" to 1 ' of the same rock material to stabilize <br /> the flat from wind erosion, thus reducing Coherex use (see Ex- <br /> hibit K - Climate and Air Quality ) . <br /> Interim reclamation work on No. 3 dam is scheduled to begin in <br /> 1994. This stabilization work will be similar to that for No. 1 <br /> and No. 5 dams. Stable rock material either from the minesite <br /> or from a quarry located near the dam will be placed on the face <br /> up to a depth of 36" . Topsoil probably will not be used on No. <br /> 3 dam because of its scarcity and needs for priority areas, but <br /> reseeding will be attempted depending on the results of trials <br /> at No. 1 dam. <br /> • Non-priority Interim Reclamation <br /> In addition to the priority interim reclamation areas discussed <br /> above, site specific reclamation of the 23 non-priority interim <br /> sites (Appendix D; Map ID areas Cl-C23 ) will be initiated in <br /> 1989. As noted in Appendix D and in Appendices B and C (Exhib- <br /> its C and F, respectively) , these non-priority sites are small <br /> areas ( 1-9 acres ) scattered around the property which require <br /> little site preparation and can be reclaimed quickly. Revegeta- <br /> tion of these sites primarily will enhance property esthetics as <br /> these sites are already physically stabilized. <br /> Active Operating Areas - Final Reclamation <br /> The sites listed under Map ID area A (Active Operating Areas ) in <br /> Appendix D are those considered as necessary for the operation <br /> of the mine during times of production. These sites will be <br /> maintained in a state of readiness during those periods when the <br /> mine is not producing because of world market conditions . As <br /> noted in the "General Timetable" columns of Appendix D, final <br /> reclamation of these sites will be completed within ten years <br /> following final mine closure. <br /> • <br /> E-7 <br />
