This is approximately equivalent to 228,480 gallons of solution <br />(assuming a conservative weight of solution of IO pounds per gallon or <br />equivalent to a heavy slurry solution). <br />The actual amount detoxified may vary greatly from the presented <br />calculations. Conditions at the time of detoxification as well as the <br />specific material being detoxified will play a large role in determining <br />the amount of hypochlorite necessary. The number presented can only be used <br />as a general guideline. <br />5.

The berm was constructed as a <br />levy along an old road. The berm was not designed to any particular Corps <br />specifications, however Mr. Collins observations are that the berm "cannot <br />be overtopped". The berm varies in height between 2 and 29 feet with atop <br />width of 12 feet and side slopes of 2H:IV. The berm runs along the east <br />side of the town of San Luis fora length of approximately 6,000 feet. The <br />berm was constructed as a temporary structure to be removed after the <br />spring runoff in 1979, however the berm was never removed. Plans and <br />specifications are available from the Corps or from either Larry Lang or <br />Bob Kistner. Mr. Lang works for the Colorado Nater Conservation Board and <br />Mr. Kistner is a consultant +n the Board. <br />8.
