A standard 55 gallon drum spill kit is placed on-site to be rapidly employed if a spill of <br /> flocculant were to occur. All employees will be trained to check for spills of flocculant and <br /> trained in the use of the spill kit. In addition, DBMS, CDPHE, and Park County Department of <br /> Health will be immediately notified if any flocculant spill occurs. <br /> Flocculant will allow all solids to settle out in the initial area of the sluice tails pond. This pond is <br /> excavated in native material—glacial debris and alluvium, and has shown itself to not drain to <br /> the surrounding area. As the pond is used, silt and fines will build up within the pond, further <br /> reducing its permeability. <br /> 5.2 Water Transmission <br /> A sluice pond is not lined with a synthetic liner.The pond is excavated in native material that has a <br /> significant proportion of fines within it. Sluicing operations directed to the pond will decrease the <br /> permeability of the pond even further as silt and fines build up along the pond's base. Water will <br /> leave the pond in two ways: recycling to the sluice itself, and evaporation. Infiltration will be <br /> negligible. Any overflow from the sluice ponds will be contained on-site by existing site berms and <br /> sumps. <br /> 6. Water Information, Rights and Augmentation <br /> All water rights issues such as availability of water for this operation, consumption rates, dust <br /> control, etc. is presented in Exhibit G- Water Information. <br /> 7. Schedule of Operations <br /> Mining operations will occur Monday through Saturday during the hours of 7 am to 7 pm. <br /> Mining, screening and processing will be conducted with portable equipment at various times of <br /> the year. Product will be sold from this activity throughout the year, although little material is <br /> expected to be sold in winter months. The operator will not have night gravel mining operations, <br /> although minor truck activity or repairs may occur after hours.
