• <br /> • SSR <br /> MINING <br /> 15 WILDLIFE PROTECTION <br /> A description of the measures to protect wildlife from coming into contact with designated <br /> chemicals is provided in Exhibit H as well as in the Wildlife Protection Plan included as <br /> Appendix 8. The designated chemicals principally are contained in the internal PSSAs at the <br /> VLFs, in the ADR facilities, in the HG Mill facility, and the PSES. There are no new designated <br /> chemicals used in the processing of ore associated with Amendment 14 that have not already <br /> been identified in prior amendments. <br /> The leach tanks and thickener for solutions from the CIP process are located exterior to the HG <br /> Mill building and consist of open-top tanks. As of the submittal of this amendment application, the <br /> leach tanks are not currently being used in their original designed capacity. Rather, as of TR-109, <br /> the tanks are used as additional capacity for the process ore thickener tanks. If the mill processes <br /> require, the tanks may be used for their originally designed, permitted, and approved function. <br /> The PSES has three open-top tanks containing leach pad solution. If necessary, bird mitigation <br /> measures will be implemented such as netting or bird balls although, past experience with dilute <br /> sodium cyanide solution leach tanks has shown that birds do not tend to use these as a water <br /> • source due to the small open area of each tank, the noise associated with the agitation, and the <br /> level of activity of the milling operations. <br /> • Cripple Creek&Victor Gold Mining Company Exhibit U <br /> Cresson Project Amendment 14 <br /> 25 <br />
