.~ <br />~ Blowing tailing will be kept to a minimum with a dust retardant:. <br />6.2 Soils <br />Stockpiled soil revegetated for future use in tailing reclamation <br />Monitoring: soils around mill & tailing area + control will be analyzed <br />every 3rd year for: pH, EC, OM, N03, P, Al, Fe, Mn, Cu, F, As, <br />Pb, Mo, CN <br />If significant differences are not evident after 15 years (5 samplings) <br />the sampling frequency might be reduced. <br />6.3 Wildlife <br />Monitoring: semi-annually; gather seasonal information ~~bout: <br />1) elk and deer movements <br />2) areas utilized during annual stress periods (late fall and <br />early spring) <br />3) determine possible effects of the disturbance of their <br />activities, by visual sighting and track counts <br />6.4 Water <br />2 surface watersheds and 1 underground water flow (NPDES) treatment: <br />coagulation, flocculation, settling (prior to Pond #1) <br />Cooling, aeration, chlorination ( entering Pond #2) <br />3 settling/cooling ponds at Henderson: piped to Urad, then to <br />Williams Fork River <br />° 1,500 ft. of 102" CMP along mine yard to transmit West fork of <br />Clear Creek preventing mine-yard run on <br />Mill: No NPDES -closed loop - recycle - industrial water circuit <br />flood bypass canals + pipelines <br />*NPDES added in AM O1 as production water requirements have <br />decreased <br />Monitoring: contracted monthly and in-house since 1968 <br />6 sites in Clear Creek watershed ( 3 previously as<,ociated <br />with Urad) and 3 sites in William Fork watershed <br />Biology monitored annually: aquatic ecology of benthic (~;tream <br />bottom) organisms and fish in both watersheds <br />6 benthic and 3 fish stations in Clear Creek watershed <br />9 benthic and 8 fish stations in William Fork watershed <br />
