<br />k <br />"~":. <br />~:. <br />~.. <br />injection into a four-inch mine water discharge line <br />using a BIF pump (maximum capacity of 1.4 gallons per <br />hour) running at about 30 percent of capacity through a <br />1/4 inch line. The pumping system was connected to a <br />flow switch in the four inch mine water discharge line. <br />As noted above, on February 29, 1988 an additional pump <br />was installed with a maximum feed rate of 6.6 <br />gallons/hour. This pump was also connected to a flow <br />switch and acted as a backup for increased mine water <br />discharges. <br />The Pond 003 flocculdnt feed system was fed by gravity <br />from a 55 gallon drum through a line regulated by a <br />hand valve at the hoist house. An operator was present <br />at all times checking the flocculant flow periodically. <br />This line fed directly into a six-inch mine water <br />discharge line prior to entering Pond 003. Although <br />there are no written records of the amount of <br />flocculant used, WFC's best estimate is a maximum of 30 <br />gallons per day from the hoist house to the Pond 003 <br />system. <br />The actual dosage amount for the Pond 002 and 003 <br />systems was determined by recommendations of the <br />flocculant supplier and visual inspection of the pond <br />effluent. Over the time period in question, there are <br />no records regarding the total amount of flocculant <br />used. <br />4. Ponds 002 and 003 discharge flow volumes are calculated <br />from pump records recorded at the Golden Eagle Mine. <br />Hour meters have been installed on the pumps which <br />record operating time. Pump meter readings are <br />recorded periodically and the pumps are recalibrated as <br />necessary to determine the volume of water pumped. <br />Calibration is conducted at a pump surge tank located <br />underground. The tank is allowed to fill with mine <br />inflow water and removal of the known volume of water <br />is timed to determine pump capacity. WFC assumes that <br />all water pumped is discharged and no allowance is made <br />for seepage or evaporation from the discharge systems. <br />(Flow records are summarized on Tables 2 and 3). <br />5. Mine water was directed to Pond 003 from January 27, <br />1988 through March 4, 1988. Discharge from the pond <br />began on February 3, 1988. All flow and water quality <br />data is presented on Table 3. <br />6. Analytical results for samples collected from 'January 1 <br />through March 31, 1988 are presented in Tables 1-11. <br />Sampling locations are shown on Figure 2. <br />7. At approximately 10:00 a.m. on March 8, 1988, Mike <br />Kolin, Manager of Engineering for WFC, informed me that <br />
