NEWMONT <br /> GOLDCORP <br /> 1.5.6 Ancillary Support Facilities <br /> Ancillary support facilities, including the crusher facilities and associated structures, the HG Mill <br /> facilities, both ADR facilities, the fire assay laboratory, the overland conveyor, the load out bin <br /> (LOB), the Ironclad facilities (maintenance-warehouse-office), and the associated utilities, <br /> monitoring systems, the Projects Offices facilities, fuel island, radio towers, associated tanks, <br /> pipelines and other structures and mobile equipment will be removed or reclaimed in the same <br /> manner as previously approved. In consultation with appropriate representatives of Teller County, <br /> CC&V may later propose to retain and use some of the existing facilities; however, it is not <br /> possible to specify which of those existing facilities could remain at the present time. <br /> Once mining operations have ceased, portable equipment within the processing areas will be <br /> removed. Buildings and foundations either will be demolished and removed from the site or buried <br /> in place to a depth that will allow for reclamation procedures as discussed in Section 1.4. The <br /> areas of land disturbed by these activities will be regraded, covered with suitable growth medium, <br /> and reclaimed. <br /> Chemicals and reagents will be removed, along with empty containers and disposed of <br /> appropriately at off-site facilities. <br /> Facilities will be dismantled and salvaged, as appropriate, after mining and processing operations <br /> are completed. Many of the materials in these facilities have salvage value; however, the <br /> computations for the financial warranty in Exhibit L do not assume credit for that salvage value. <br /> Following demolition and salvage, remaining debris for burial will be removed to an OSA, one of <br /> the mine areas backfill sites, or to the ESP footprint area, or will be buried in-place(e.g., concrete <br /> foundations). These areas will be graded, and growth medium applied to the extent available prior <br /> to reclamation. <br /> 1.5.7 Closure Stormwater <br /> The previous closure stormwater analysis was updated to include the VLF2 Phase 3 expansion, <br /> specifically, the VLF and OSA closure stormwater analysis has been updated and is included in <br /> Appendix 3. Previous analyses included closure stormwater analysis for each VLF and OSA. <br /> Modeled peak run off was calculated for at least the 100-year/24-hour storm event. Diversion <br /> channels were designed around the facilities to convey water off the facilities. Additionally, <br /> channels on the facilities benches will be constructed ever 150 vertical feet to convey water to the <br /> diversion channels. All channels have side slopes of 2.5H:1 V and were designed as either <br /> triangular or trapezoidal cross sections and a minimum of 1 foot of freeboard. Details of the <br /> updated VLF2 Phase 3 closure stormwater analysis can be found in the VLF2 Phase 3 Design <br /> Cripple Creek&Victor Gold Mining Company Exhibit E <br /> Cresson Project Amendment 13 <br /> 15 <br />
