It will be recycled and sold or used to partially <br />reconstruct the slopes that will be left when mining ends. Some <br />may also be used to backfill portions of the mined area. If <br />courser fill is used it will then be covered with finer material <br />and revegetated where required by the permit. If the imported <br />material is good dirt we will use it to supplement the topsoil <br />needs for the mined area. Sloping will not be delayed if fill is <br />not available since the fill will supplement material on the site <br />at this time. <br />The exact amount of material to be imported is unknown. We <br />will record the volume imported each year and keep a running <br />total so if needed the Division will know how much and how it as <br />disposed of. <br />Importing fill will begin when the Division acknowledges <br />receipt of this notice. We will continue to import inert fill <br />until reclamation is complete or we no longer have a source. <br />No specific compaction rates are proposed for any fill <br />placed in the mine. The material usually available contains <br />smaller pieces of concrete, or dirt mixed with the larger pieces <br />of the same material. This makes it very difficult to achieve a <br />specific compaction rate. While we take no action to reach a <br />specific compaction rate, the way the material is placed tends to <br />compact it. We run heavy equipment over the filled area during <br />the filling process and the material is compacted as a result. <br />Stabilization of this fill material is not a concern because of <br />the limited amount used in the slopes and the way it is placed. <br />What voids do remain are usually under large pieces of material <br />and little settling is possible. No structures will be built on <br />the fill, nor will the depth of the fill be so great as to affect <br />offsite lands if settling occurred. <br />
