The materials in the SPDV pile include mined tailings interspersed with soil, rock, and debris from the construction of the shafts. The SPDV pile encompasses approximately 10 acres and ranges in height from 7 to 20 feet above ground. The pile was closed by grading the contours and covering the pile with a geosynthetic liner, 36 inches of native soil blended with rock, and establishing native vegetation.
