Initial reclamation of the loadout area, including backfilling, grading and seeding, <br />was completed in early 1997. The resulting gently sloping terrain as illustrated by <br />. the Loadout Area Post-Mining Topography Map, (Map 29) is a more stable land <br />form than that which existed prior to the mining related disturbance, and will more <br />effectively support proposed post-mining land uses. Stability analysis for the <br />loadout can be found in Exhibit 18. <br />Similar to the mine area, reclamation of sedimentation ponds and associated <br />drainage structures in the loadout area will follow initial reclamation by <br />approximately five to ten years. Reclamation practices for ponds and diversion <br />ditches will be essentially the same as previously discussed for mine areas. <br />• <br /> <br />MR-44 2.05.4-11 a Revised -May 2002 <br />
