This area has been patched. The operator needs to submit verification that the hole was repaired using an extrusion welding apparatus and that the repair was vacuum tested. Tailings Pond Spray Evaporation Syatem The =•pray evaporative system was operating during this inspection. The large spray head was also operating. The recirculating pump for the spray evaporative system has been set into a sump area which has been dug into the tailings in the bottom of the pond. The foot valve inta}:e was measured at 24.5" below the pond surface and it is set in an open 5 gallon bucket. This is still an inefficient screen and needs to be improved. The intake must be placed fully enclosed within a screen inside a coarser screen or filter. This has been noted in past inspections and will be discussed during the September Board hearing. It was also observed during this inspection that not all spray heads are flowing at full capacity. The system must be operating efficiently and as approved. Therefore, the operator must submit verification that this system meets the capacity as designed by Richard Fox and approved by the Division. Sea Problem PB-2.
