was constructed on the beams extending over the pit. A submersible pump, along with hosing and piping, is <br />suspended from the platform into the pit. A winch installed on the platform assists in setting the pump at the <br />desired elevation. A second pump was added to provide make-up water for Washplant Il. Control equipment for <br />this second pump was installed at the existing pump platform location <br />The water pumped from the Area I Pit can go in one of four directions, or a combination of them: l) Pit to <br />Washplant l; 2) Pit to Washplant 11; 3) Pit to mine water recycling line; and/or 4) Discharge to Foidel Creek. The <br />water pumped from the pit is piped to a de -sander, located at an old well site. From this point it is piped to one or <br />both of the washplants or piped over and tied into the existing mine water line. A line has been installed from the <br />de -sander back to the pit so that the back-flush water can be returned to the pit. The location of the lines is shown <br />on Map 24. The trenches were dug with a backhoe or trackhoe. During the excavation process suitable plant <br />growth media was removed and windrowed adjacent to the trench and then replaced on top of the sub -soils returned <br />to the trench. <br />PR 14-10 2.05-97.8 04/28/16 <br />
