Reclamation Feasibility Report - Virginia Canyon <br />• <br />• Reclamation Measures <br />Because of good access, reclamation of this site should be simple and low-cost. The waste pile can <br />be removed, or reclaimed in-place. At a minimum, the road drainage should be improved to direct <br />water around the pile. <br />Since there is already some sparse vegetation on the pile, no neutralizing agents should be required <br />for in-place reclamation. The cover material can be derived from a local source or from future road <br />maintenance. If the pile is reclaimed in-place, the waste rock at the edge of the road cut should be <br />pulled back to a minimum grade of 3h:1v. In addition, the road drainage should be improved around <br />this site. <br />Pine Shade Mine (Site #55) <br />Location <br />The Pine Shade Mine is located at the headwaters of Seaton Gulch immediately north of the Gilson <br />Gulch turnoff (Figures 3 and 33). The Pine Shade mine waste pile was sampled as site # 55. Site <br />#55 is located at LAT. N390 45' 35.0", LONG. W1050 30' 49.3". The estimated volume of mine waste <br />in the main pile is 12,500 cubic yards. Site 55A is located immediately south of the main pile at LAT. <br />N390 45'31.1 ", LONG. W1050 30'47.2". <br />0 59 <br />Figure 32. Unknown Site 104
