December 22, 2010 3 <br />The fill placement during this quarter was consistent with the approved design, and prudent <br />construction methods. Photograph 1 depicts the extent of fill placement near the end of the quarter. <br />As fill material is placed above a previous dump level, the surface of the previous dump is ripped with a <br />D-10 dozer to prevent the formation of perched water tables. Large snow accumulations are cleared <br />prior to being dumped over. <br />At the end of the fourth quarter of 2010, the 7500' and 7535' dump levels were complete; the active <br />dump is currently at the 7585' levels. Rough grading work, sloping the face of levels to the designed <br />3H:1V slope, was complete from the 7500' level down to the toe of the fill. <br />Photograph 1: Fill placement (12122110) <br />2.5 Revegetation <br />Topsoil replacement and revegetation activities were not conducted during this quarter.
