The main processing plant is locate on the Industrial Site at 1360 Coffman Road. The stripped area in Stage 3 - PART B now covers 12.40 acres (yellow) and the overburden stockpiled area east of the stripped area is still in use (brown). This material will be used to reclaim the slopes and resoil the above water area as reclamation progresses in this stage. (2) See Sheet 1 of 2. Final grading and sloping was completed in the west arm of Stage 2 - PART A (2.79 ac.) and in Phase F (1.50 ac) (diamond hatched). Approximately 2.80 acres was backfilled in the northwest part of Stage 2 - PART A. The Cattle Feeding Area in Phases A thru F was graded this year completing reclamation on that area (purple).
