accumulates to 30 percent o` the sediment dead storage volume. A <br />Universal recording precipitation gace, installed in February, 1977 will be <br />cperated on a continuing basis to ronitor rainfall. The spillv:ay of the <br />loe:errost pond will be equipped with a stilling v:ell and vrater level recorder <br />to moni[or any overflo~.JS should they occur. <br />It is proposed that after mining has ceased, that the retention ponds remain <br />in place to fore a series of drops in this reach of channel. The channel v;ould <br />be reinforced with heavy riprap vrhere necessary to prevent scouring of bed and <br />banks. It is believed that the stream v,ill have begun to adjust itself to a <br />ne.v flow regime by the time mining activities are terminated. Additional <br />disturbance by re~.,oval of the structures would again disrupt the fl o:, regime <br />causing increases in sedimentation and changes in channel morphology. <br /> <br />cable 1.
