<br />' Water from Pond 4 will either be routed back into the Golden <br />Gilpin mill or treated for discharge. The Golden Gilpin mill will <br />circulate approximately 802 of the tailings water discharge from <br />Pond 4 back to the mill circuit for re-use. The remaining 152 to <br />202 of the mill water will be discharged into North Clear Creek <br />after undergoing a filter process to remove any contained heavy <br />' metals. In the proposed filter process, the mill water discharge <br />will flow through a peat and sawdust filter to remove dissolved <br />metals prior to discharge. <br />' As Ponds 1 through 4 fill with tailings, CCCM intends to <br />periodically remove the tailings from the ponds and sell the <br />tailings for various uses off site. As most of the sulfide <br />material will be removed from the tailings, the discarded <br />tailings will consist primarily of silica sand and will have <br />little or no acid generating capability. <br />CCCM does not expect that the tailings discharged from the Golden <br />Gilpin mill have any impact on surface or groundwater. The mill <br />building is located upstream of the tailings impoundments thereby <br />shielding the tailings from any potential damage in the event of <br />a flood on North Clear Creek. CCCM also intends to stabilize and <br />reclaim the south bank of North Clear Creek by seeding the bank <br />slope with an MLRD approved grass mixture and by planting trees. <br />Additionally, CCCM intends to construct a two foot high berm <br />along the North Clear Creek to contain any incident precipitation <br />that may run-off from the tailings impoundment area (Figure 4). <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />l,' <br />C 12 <br />
