Sunnyside Basin (Lake Emma) Area <br /> Approximately 10 , 000 cubic yards of talus was excavated from a <br /> kn:,ll immediately to the north of the Lake Emma g-ory hole ( 2580 <br /> stope) , and it was transported to the Terry Tunne: mine bench for <br /> temporary storage (Plate 2) . This material will 5e used as road <br /> surfacing for the Terry Tunnel . As noted above, -:�he rail line has <br /> been removed from the Terry Tunnel which will now be used for rubber <br /> tire access to the mine. About 5 , 000 cubic yards of talus were <br /> st:,ckpiled at the Terry Tunnel over the winter. <br /> A fence was erected around the Lake Emma glory hole, along the <br /> crest of the diversion channel berm. 2 , 500 feet of six strand high <br /> tension fence was erected around the accessible portion of the hole. <br /> Step slopes to the west and north precluded fence construction due <br /> to winter snow accumulations , avalanche, and snow creep. Warning <br /> signs were attached to the fence to discourage pu'slic access . <br /> No field work was conducted relative to reclamation of the Lake <br /> Emma stopes . A plan was constructed and submitted to the MLRB in <br /> Fe'--�ruary 1988 for open pit mining of the Sunnyside and Washington <br /> ve=ns in the Sunnyside Basin. As part of this plan, waste rock will <br /> be created which will be used to backfill the Lake Emma glory hole. <br /> Upon approval this amendment (no. 3) to permit M-77-378 alters the <br /> reclamation schedule for the Lake Emma area, postponing reclamation <br /> ac=ivities for as much as four years while the open stopes are used <br /> as an ore pass . The revegetation test plot planned for the lake <br /> seciments pile will be constructed at the same time as revegetation <br /> -5- <br />
