To accomplish this modification, SGC commissioned a geotechnical evaluation to determine if a drainage outlet wuld be excavated in the embankment separating the pond and drainage ditch without creating stability problems (enclosed). The evaluation determined that with 3:1 slopes, a stable drainage outlet could be constructed using on- site materials and compaction specifications easily met with typical construction equipment (90 percent). SGC graded (1% typical grade) the pond area to drain to the drainage outlet area with the tailings material removed from the Power Plant Tailings project (TR-26), capped the tailings with 2' of overburden material from the borrow area near Tailings Pond No.4 except for a small azea reserved for placement of any tailings encountered when excavating the drainage outlet and then excavated the drainage outlet. After excavation was complete, this area was also capped with 2' of overburden material. The 2' cover is consistent with the existing reclamation plan. Where tailings were encountered in the excavation for the drainage outlet, the azea was over excavated 3'-5' below sub-grade and geotextile (Amoco #4545 Filter Fabric) was placed to prevent fill material from penetrating any remaining tailings material. Most of the excavation ended in alluvial material except for the interior section of the outlet. The excavation was then brought back to grade in 8" compacted lifts. At sub-grade elevation, the outlet was lined with 40 mil PVC liner. The liner was covered with dirt and cobbles to grade. The hydraulic capacity of the drainage outlet is significantly greater than the diversion ditch it drains to. The diversion ditch was sized for the 100 yeaz storm event from both the pond surface and the up-slope drainage therefore, the drainage outlet is significantly oversized for the pond surface drainage 100 year storm event. The entire Tailings Pond #4 surface and borrow azea was seeded with the Mountain Mix at 25 #/acre, fertilized with 34-17-0 dry fertilizer at 80#/acre and mulched with grass hay at 1 ton/acre. SGC believes the reclaimed configuration follows the basic concept in the current reclamation plan but the contours have been modified to match the availability of material to implement the plan. Included is an as-built plan for the reclamation plan technical revision. In the event Gold King Mines Corporation cannot or does not obtain a MLR permit to take over reclamation responsibilities for the American Tunnel permit azea and SGC implements reclamation of the permit area as is the current situation, a cell will be constructed, using available material, for any demolition debris, mine waste or water treatment sludge that may require disposal as is currently in the plan. This cell will then be capped (2' overburden material) and planted with the "Mountain Mix" as currently approved for this material. This cell will not materially change the configuration of the existing reclaimed surface.
