is directed along the eastern edge of the primary mine access road. This combines with surface <br />water originating off the historically mined area. This water flows through a series of catchment <br />ponds that capture any sediment associated with the stormwater. These "ponds" are routinely <br />cleaned out (generally twice a year or as needed) using a front -end loader and backhoe. French <br />drains direct surface water to an engineered ditch on the east side of the access road. Very little <br />sediment is in evidence in water flowing off site at the lower end of the permitted area. As our <br />current plan appears to be working, we will continue to follow what we believe to be BMPs for <br />the site. <br />d. Identification of Discharges other than Stormwater. No materials other than stormwater are <br />conveyed by the stormwater drainage system. A chemical toilet on site is provided for <br />maintenance personal and this is routinely emptied and sanitized by a third party vendor. <br />2 <br />
