<br />In addition to removing excess water from the tailings pond by the use of the existing <br />decantation line, Colina Oro Molino, Inc. plans to install a pump in the tailings pond to <br />recycle water directly back into the mill. Any structures used to support and position this <br />pump will have rubber tires attached to the underside of the swctures to prevent the pond liner <br />from being ripped or torn. <br />At the present time, all of the operable water lines to and from the tailings pond and the <br />Hazel A mine and the mill are two inch diameter PVC. One line runs from the tailings pond <br />to behind the Hazel A mine's bulkhead, and serves as the decant line. Another line runs from <br />the Hazel A mine to the mill building and has a submersible pump attached for the purpose of <br />recycling the water that is decanted from the tailings pond. There are no plans to enlazge or <br />increase the number of water lines between the mill facility and the Hazel A mine. <br />The total amount of land surface that will be affected by the construction of the Left <br />Hand Creek pumping station is 0.013 acres. This area was previously included in the total <br />acreage of affected land in the permit. The total amount of land surface that will be affected <br />by the installation of the Times mine water well and the connecting pipeline to the Gold Hill <br />Mill is estimated to be approximately 0.014 acres. To date, all of the existing water lines are <br />placed on the ground, and their assembly has not disturbed the land surface. However, this <br />particular line will have to be buried below the access road running between the Times mine <br />well site and the northwest comer of the Gold Hill Mill. This may require some additional <br />portions of the line to be buried in order to maintain a proper gradient between the Times mine <br />well head and the Gold Hill Mill. As soon as this line has been installed, a determination of <br />the total amount of land surface disturbed by this activity will be made, and the permit acreage <br />will be increased accordingly. Any pipe and pumping lines that cause any ground surface <br />disturbance will be included in the permit acreage. <br />Very wly yours, <br />Mark A.
