<br />2.0 SUMMARY OF SITE RECLAMATION COMPLETED TO DATE <br />The following summary of completed activities is provided in a format consistent with the <br />itemized listing of reclamation activities compiled by the Division on December 15, 1998 (as <br />updated on March 9, 1999). <br />Item A-1: Reduce NE tailing pond slope by grading crest down into seep dam. <br />This activity is estimated to be 90% complete as of July 12, 1999. A portion of the extreme <br />eastern edge of the NE tailing pond formerly occupied by the colluvium stockpile remains in <br />anon-recontoured configuration due to the presence of remaining quantities of colluvium <br />growth material. The remainder of the NE tailing pond was recontoured to provide a positive <br />draining slope toward Canyon Creek substantially in conformance with the plans provided <br />in Technical Revision No. 1. <br />An approximately 6-inch lift of colluvial growth medium was uniformly applied across the <br />recontoured surface. A combination silt fencelstraw bale barrier was installed on an <br />intermediate level terreice, and a silt fence was installed on the former seep dam crest (lower <br />terrace). A limited portion of the embankment area along the northernmost edge of the <br />feature was excavated to a 2:1 horizontal to vertical slope and all access roadways were <br />provided with earthen berm barriers and/or locking gates to prevent unauthorized site access. <br />Camp Bird Colorado. Inc. has retained an access route to the remaining colluvium. <br />Quantities of this colluvium may be utilized to support next year's (Phase II) reclamation <br />activities, after which the remaining i0°1° final recontouring will be completed. Refer to <br />photographs 1-A through 1-D in Appendix A. <br />Division Calculated Bond Amount: $1,339.00 <br />Release RequestAmount (90%): 51,205.00 <br />Item A-2: Grade portions of surface of NW tailing pond to slope away from face. <br />Grade borrow area. <br />The surface of the NW tailing pond was recontoured to provide internal drainage from west <br />to east along aloes-grrdient, centrally-located longitudinal swale. The internal face of the <br />crest berm was reduced (sloped back) into the tailing pond surface. Perimeter areas were <br />generally blended into surrounding topography, and existing rock and vegetation features <br />were sculpted into the final recontoured surface. Surface drainage of the tailing <br />impoundment is routed along the internal swale to an 18-inch pipeline inlet feature comprised <br />of coarse (8-12 inch diameter) rock rip-rap. The 120-foot long HDPE pipeline routes surface <br />drainage directly to Canyon Creek via a pipeline outfall along the Canyon Creek bank. <br />Page 2 of 6 <br />
