The system consists of approximately 12 acres of geomembrane lined <br />surface area along the West Pit reclaimed surface which acts to collect and divert <br />unevapora[ed water back to a lined staging pond which facilitates recirculation of <br />the water back to the mechanical evaporation system. System surface cisturbance <br />is included in the re-grading and topsoil cost estimates presented above with the <br />West Pit. Obligated reclamation costs are associated with the Wes[ Pit <br />evaporation system dismantling and removal of the electrical supply installations, <br />the geomembrane liner material, supply pumps, supply piping, concrete <br />foundations, mechanical evaporative equipment, and wildlife fencing.
