Adr% <br />ame <br />Earth & Environmental <br />C. Waste Rock to Stockpile <br />1. LOB Pad <br />• Ames worked in the LOB Pad early in the week placing minor excavated <br />material for fill placement in the LOB/Delivery Road between Station <br />34+50 to 38+00 left of centerline. A Komatsu 800 excavator was used in <br />the pad area for removal of all oversize to Waste Dump #4 (north of Joe <br />Dandy slash pile area). Excavation has stopped due to the cut is "non- <br />rippable". Rockbreakers mobilized 3 rigs to the pad site this past week after <br />completing the drilling in the Elkton workings and Kitty Lane Shaft. The <br />plan is to drill and blast the LOB pad sometime next week <br />2. LOB/delivery Road <br />• Removal of cut from Station 22+00 to 35+00 to . Waste Dump #4 <br />commenced during the week using 3 Cat 777 Haul Trucks. <br />• Ames completed the widening of the construction access up to the Waste <br />Dump #4 (Joe Dandy slash pile). <br />D. Cut to Fill <br />1. LOB Pad <br />• No Activities <br />2. LOB/Delivery Road <br />• Ames continued to expand the fill placement for the LOB/Delivery Road <br />from Station 34+50 to 39+00 75 to 100-feet left of centerline. Fill <br />placement continued with approximate 24-inch loose fill lifts and <br />compaction using the method specification determined previously. Ames <br />was using 3 Volvo A40D trucks, when available, to transport fill material. <br />Transport now is primarily performed using the Cat 777 haul trucks. The <br />fill in this area has now progressed to approximate elevation 10,030+/-. <br />• AMEC continued observation of fill placement during the week. Fill <br />placement was observed to progress with no issues. The Contractor <br />maintained relatively uniform lifts thickness, moisture conditioning of lifts <br />and cutting of key-ins. Over size material was pushed outside the fill limit <br />and oversize from the cut is now transported to Waste Dump #4. <br />E. Subgrade Preparation <br />1. LOB Pad <br />• No Activities <br />F. SLF Processing (Material is being generated/processed for the LOB and the VLF) <br />1. Production of the SLF material continued intermittently at the clay plant <br />located at Dump 5, North end of the LOB/Delivery Road. Production was <br />limited however is improving due to mechanical breakdowns. A total of 12 <br />samples were obtained during the week by AMEC for Index Testing and <br />Proctors. <br />Sheet 2 of 9 <br />LOB Weekly Report WE 02.27.09.1)
