Animas Glacier Gravel Pit M- 2011 -028 <br />Stormwater Containment & Retention <br />Pond <br />Stormwater Management of Mining Operations <br />The mining method to be employed as excavation begins at the former "highwall" and <br />progresses southward will ensure all stormwater is contained within the mining limits. As <br />illustrated below, the mesa rim along the western edge of the property will be sloped to the east <br />as each successive mining bench is excavated. The stormwater will be diverted to the existing <br />retention pond and to subsequent ponds as the pit floor is exposed and more area is opened. <br />E��� <br />O.G. 11 11 <br />------------------------------------------ <br />MINING <br />%, ---------------------------------- - - - - -- <br />BENCHES <br />Cross - sectional View looking South from Existing Pit Floor <br />Figure E <br />4 <br />
