processing will not occur on site. Thus, this permit is written for discharges related to <br /> removing raw materials, but does not cover any discharges related to processing <br /> activities". "Should the permittee decide to begin ore processing in the facility, the <br /> permittee must notify the division as on-site processing may trigger the applicability of <br /> the federal ELG in its entirety". <br /> A copy of this permit is enclosed (Exhibit #1). Any water used in future processing will <br /> be purchased and hauled in. <br /> 6.3 SPECIFIC PERMIT APPLICATION EXHIBIT REQUIRMENTS-110 LIMITED <br /> OPERATIONS <br /> EXHIBIT C-Mining Plan (Rule 6.3.3) <br /> 4. See Mining Profiles (Exhibit#2). <br /> Darden Engineering, INC provided these profiles from Google Earth photography. The <br /> cross sections below each photograph depict the changes in elevation within, and 30 feet <br /> adjacent, to the permit boundary. Currently, the permitted area has a slope of <br /> approximately 4:1. During interim reclamation under this amendment, gentle sloping to <br /> the west for drainage, and removal of ore from stockpiles, the slope will remain as <br /> depicted. <br /> The blue arrows show the permit boundary for comparison with the surrounding <br /> topography. <br /> 5. Mine Map slopes. <br /> Slopes no steeper than 3H:1V will be maintained during the mining operation. The slope <br /> of all stockpiles of ore and tailings will not exceed 3:1. Tailings which are not needed in <br /> the reclamation of the two retention ponds, will be graded out so there are no steep <br /> slopes. See Exhibit#3, Mining Plan and Interim Reclamation Plan Map, E-3/E-4. <br /> The goal for final reclamation of the 30 foot wide amendment area, is to return this area <br /> to near normal land contours, stabilize this ground, spread topsoil and vegetate. <br /> The goal for interim reclamation on the Scott Blue II claim is to return the two retention <br /> ponds to near normal land contours, with the surface gently sloping toward the west. <br /> Stormwater run-off will either seep into the ground, or be directed around the permit area <br /> to the existing channel. <br /> The goal for mining, is to use the small settling/recycling ponds in the future for further <br /> test runs of placer material on site using water purchased from the City of Victor. The <br /> goal is also to remove hardrock ore samples from the Scott Blue II claim for analysis. <br /> This work is necessary to obtain information about the ore and how to mill it. Based on <br /> this testing, a larger mining operation may be warranted. <br /> See revised Mining Plan and Interim Reclamation Plan Map, E-3/E-4 (Exhibit#3). <br /> 2 <br />
