The Walters Pit was a rocky site with a sparsely vegetated floor surrounded by shear 5m faces that rose to a mature conifer forest. Not wanting to impact the established conifer forest MAAP was restricted in source material and finished grade for the slopes. Test pits indicated the potential to recover an old stockpile of organic materials that had been overgrown in the decades since the site had been extracted from. Most of the material used for backfilling the pit faces was taken from the area adjacent to the roadway, thereby exposing local traffic to the progress of the transition from abandoned pit to grassland meadow. The newly discovered topsoil was recovered and thinly spread across the site. A Biotic Soil Media and hardy seed mix was used to establish grasses over the site. Over time, this site will be unrecognizable as a former pit.
