sites plus an additional six sites which were added because of their large size and therefore potential for significant load contributions. Leachate conce~ons presented in Appendix l0E of the UAA were converted to "potential loads". The annual load contributed from waste rock site in Table 11.2 was estimated by multiplying the concentration from the leach test of the waste rock times the surface area of the pile times the average annual runoff from the basin expressed as depth (29 inches}_ The potential load figures do not include any potemial reductions. The 32 waste sites listed contribute 90•/a of the estimated load from all 158 sites. Units are in pounds per year as opposed to pounds per day used for edits. Estimated loading from mine waste is much smaller than from edits. Approximately eighty-five percent of the mine-related annual metal load in the Upper Animas Basin is from edits, and fifteen perceut is from mine waste. As with edits, the appropriate site treatmem and corresponding load reductions are based on professional judgement. Again, the estimated costs of remediation fall irto the same four categories used for edits. The costs listed in Table 11.2 are the mid-point of the ranges of each category applied to the particular site. Sites with CPDES or reclamation permits are not included in the tables in this chapter_ It is assumed that required best manageme~ practices and/or treatment at these sites is already in place.
