Bulldozers are carrying out grading of the final mine pit.
Dump trucks bring stockpiled overburden to the 'last cut' of the mining operation.
The highwall, which is still just showing will be completely eliminated. This sedimentation pond will be incorporated into the lake. A scraper removes stockpiled subsoil for spreading on the backfilled area. All of the subsoil will be used and this area will be completely reclaimed. Subsoil is being spread on the regraded area.
