I am doing QA on stripping of "A" horizon on a mine site. Part of the site is two wetlands in which the EOR wants to decommission. As per discussion with the contractor, contractor said that they can only strip the wetland with an arm reach of an excavator. The rest will be just covered with soil, with the water being pumped elsewhere or squeezed by the material placed on top. Site will be a plant site once the mine gets fired up.

Just wondering what is the standard decommissioning of wetlands? Is covering the area with "C" horizon enough?

 
I wouldn't touch wetlands without explicit permission and permits from the state.
