Goforth Stock Pond (SP1) <br />SPI is located in the northeastern quarter of Section 6, of T46N, R15W and was a previously <br />unnamed, pre -mine stock pond that will be reconstructed in the post -mine topography. The <br />surface landowner (Lester Goforth) has requested the stock pond be replaced to provide a post - <br />mine watering location for livestock. <br />The watershed that drains to SP1 contains surface runoff and seasonal irrigation water. <br />Additionally, the watershed contributing to SP 1 does not contain water from any mining related <br />disturbance areas and SPI is located north of the mining related disturbances. Finally, the <br />majority of the watershed contributing to SP1 is located outside the permit area. The design <br />specifications for SPI are shown on Map 2.05.3(3)-38. The design of SPI is based upon the <br />dimensions of the pre -mine unnamed stock pond with the top of embankment and overall stock <br />pond footprint being generally the same. The volume of the pre -mine stock pond was <br />approximately 1.5 acre-feet at the top of the embankment and the volume of SP1 is 2.3 acre-feet <br />at the top of the embankment. <br />Topsoil removal will include removal of the topsoil within the SP1 footprint. Additional <br />excavation within the pond footprint will also occur and this material will be utilized for <br />embankment construction. During the final stages of construction, the topsoil will be utilized to <br />reclaim the embankment and SPI footprint. The area where topsoil is redistributed will be <br />vegetated in accordance with Section 2.05.4(2)(e). The construction of SP1 will take place under <br />the direction of a professional engineer and upon completion a certified as -built drawing will be <br />submitted to the Division. A copy of the letter from the surface landowner has been provided <br />which consents with the location and design of SP 1. <br />Attachment 2.05.3(3)-38 Page 1 October 2018 (TR -86) <br />
