ity,water flow,and environmental impact. By thoroughly understanding the site's existing conditions,the following benefits <br /> will be achieved: <br /> • Improved Slope Stability: Slope profiles and potential weak spots will be identified,allowing for the design of appropri- <br /> ate slope angles and reinforcement measures to prevent collapse or erosion during mining. <br /> • Enhanced Drainage Planning: By understanding how water naturally flows across the site,drainage systems can be <br /> strategically placed to avoid pooling and erosion,while also preventing surface runoff from entering mining pits. <br /> Better Reclamation Planning: Pre-mining surface data will be critical in developing post-mining reclamation plans, <br /> ensuring that disturbed areas are restored to their original or improved condition once mining activities are complete. <br /> 4.4 Ongoing Monitoring <br /> The pre-mining survey will establish benchmarks for ongoing monitoring throughout the mining lifecycle.These bench- <br /> marks will be used for: <br /> • Tracking Changes:Continuous or periodic surveys will be conducted to compare post-mining surface conditions with <br /> pre-mining data,ensuring that mining activities remain within planned parameters and identifying any early signs of <br /> instability. <br /> • Adapting Operations: If any unforeseen changes in slope stability or water flow are detected,the operation can be <br /> quickly adapted to mitigate potential hazards,ensuring worker safety and environmental protection. <br /> By conducting a thorough pre-mining surface survey,the West Side Placer Project will ensure that its operations are <br /> grounded in accurate,reliable data,leading to safer,more efficient mining and reducing the likelihood of environmen- <br /> tal impact. <br /> 6 <br /> HARDROCK/METAL MINING REGULAR(112)APPLICATION Au Pt Industries LLC I PO Box 1424-Edwards,Colorado 81632 1970 306 1 784 <br />
