TAILINGS POND RECLAMATION <br /> BORROW AREA <br /> Approximately 30 , 000 cubic yards of overburden will be required <br /> to cover Tailings Pond #2 . The overburden will be obtained from <br /> the proposed borrow area northeast of Tailings Pond #4 . This <br /> proposed borrow area is adjacent to and, in places, overlaps the <br /> borrow area approved in Technical Revision Number Nine. Hauling <br /> will be facilitated by constructing a haul road from the borrow <br /> area to Pond #2 . Both the haul road and the borrow area are <br /> completely within the current permit boundaries. <br /> Prior to overburden excavation the topsoil overlying the borrow <br /> area will be stripped and stockpiled adjacently for later use in <br /> reclaiming the borrow area . The topsoil will be broadcast with <br /> seed following stockpiling. The slopes of the borrow area will <br /> be on the order of 2: 1 to 2 . 5 : 1 and shall be designed to blend as <br /> well as possible with the surrounding contours . The diversion <br /> ditch above the area will prevent large amounts of water from <br /> encountering either the topsoil stockpile or the borrow area. <br /> Reclamation of the borrow area is to include distribution of the <br /> stockpiled topsoil on the area, fertilizing, and seeding with <br /> "Mountain Mix". Reclamation of the haul road will include <br /> reshaping, fertilizing, and seeding with "Mountain Mix". The <br /> borrow area and the haul road will not be reclaimed immediately <br /> following reclamation of Pond #2 since they will most likely be <br /> used in conjunction with other projects . <br /> -4- <br />
