The Mundt pit featured several small pit faces with the largest approximately 4 meters high, along with a spacious open floor previously utilized for equipment and vehicle storage. The site was scattered with numerous large rock piles and overburden of varying grain sizes. Notably, there was a lack of organic materials available on site. The grading approach aimed to smooth out the remaining slopes wherever possible to minimize disturbance to the surrounding forested area.

To address the absence of organic material, TOARC reached out to a local lumber mill that had surplus piles of decomposing organics resulting from processing raw wood before milling. The mill was eager to dispose of some of these piles to create additional floor space for their operations. Approximately 2,100m³ of material were obtained free of charge, covering the floor to a depth of about 20cm. Since the mulch was only partially decomposed, it would take several years for it to break down sufficiently to facilitate the establishment of grasses and woody species. Five years after rehabilitation the site is well on its way to self-sustaining vegetation!
