of `muck" will be produced from the sluice. For 10 hours of operation, this is 9,500 cubic <br />feet per day, or 352 cubic yards. Cleanout of the pond will may not be needed since the <br />pond area will be reclaimed by the deposition of sluice tails, however,, some amount of <br />fines may be used for reclamation or backfilling purposes elsewhere, and these <br />calculations provide an estimate of how much material could be provided. Any muck <br />extracted will be allowed to drain for a few days and the semi-dry material will be hauled <br />to various locations on site for possible use as substitute topsoil in the reclamation. Much <br />of the water will drain rapidly from the muck as it is placed on the bank along the pond. <br />The dry solids removed from the pond are expected to be approximately 208 cubic yards. <br />Shown below is the e-mail from Tons Per Hour showing the results of the laboratory <br />tests of the dirty water from the sluice at Alma Placer, which is similar to the Hector <br />Placer site. <br />
