CLOSURE AND RECLAMATION ACTIVITIES
7.3.1
Flora and Fauna Management Plans
Portions of the slurry pipeline corridor (approximately kilometre 0 to 2 and
kilometre 16 to 26) will be re-vegetated immediately after construction, with a
targeted revegetation outcome of zonal forest. Maintenance roads will not be
kept along the pipeline in these areas. This effort is designed to maintain habitat
connectivity in key areas and to assist with regional conservation initiatives.
Research-based reclamation trials will be established as part of the revegetation
effort in these areas, to improve reclamation techniques over time.
