Area ~4,300m² Volume ~700m^3. The Anderson pit, located near Maynooth Ontario, had very sandy exposed faces at each end with no recoverable organic soils to be used for rehabilitation. Minor grading was required to reduce the sheer faces, but the rehabilitation plan primarily relied on the application of hydroseed. Northern Ontario seed mix was applied in a “Verdiol Biotic Earth Black” hydraulic growth media across the site.  After one year of drought conditions, vegetation was well established on shaded slopes that prevented desiccation. Other areas of the pit were patchy and did not do well. After consultation it was decided that low success areas would be reseeded. MAAP continues to monitor the site and make recommendations as it progresses.
