This plan ensures that there is more t <br />enough overburden and topsoil available to eomplete reelantation. <br />Table D-4 shows a balance of the topsoil and overburden stripped versus the amount of topsoil <br />and overburden used in the reclamation of the pit The column titled Material Needed to <br />Reclaim is the minimum amount of material which is required for the reclamation of that <br />Excess overburden will be placed in the pit bottom Most of the overburden material will be used <br />to reclaim the 1 H• IV to 3H• IV, and achieve the more natural appearance as shown on Mau F-1. <br />This plan ensures that there is more than enough overburden and topsoil available to complete <br />reclamation Topsoil will be used to reclaim the pit slope concurrently with mining. This will <br />minimize the amount of topsoil stored in the storage area at any time. <br />Topsoil Stockpile <br />Topsoil will not have to be stockpiled to a great extent during the life of the mine. The topsoil <br />that is removed in a phase of mining can be used to reclaim the previously excavated phase, <br />removing the need for large amounts of topsoil stockpile during Lmining. Topsoil set aside at the <br />start of Phase 1 will be stored in the topsoil storage area along the Ana Branch.

Explosives and Blasting <br />No explosives will be used on site No blasting, will take place as part of mining. <br />Overburden Stockpile <br />The overburden from Phase 1 will be stockpiled along the west edge of the pit, so that it may be <br />pushed down onto the slopes for reclamation when the time comes. Once enough of Phase 1 has <br />been mined out to start the Reclamation Plan, this material will be placed as backfill in Phase 1. <br />6 Water Information, Rights and Augmentation <br />Gehrman Pit October 09 D-6
