x 8'h). These buildings were placed on the minesite in 1987 to replace the combination <br />• office shop building which has been removed. Exhibit 12-2 shows the existing mine <br />facility area. <br />Building facilities proposed for the Nucla East mining area will consist of a <br />wood framed-metal clad pole barn (60'w x 100'1 x 20'h) for a repair shop/warehouse and the <br />relocation of an abandoned house from the mining area for an office. In addition, the <br />existing trailer facilities as described above will be relocated to the new facilities <br />area as shown on Exhibit 12-3. <br />Waste Water. Sewage from the existing building facilities is treated and disposed through <br />the use of a septic tank and leach field system. Sewage from the proposed Nucla East <br />facilities will be treated and disposed of in the same manner. A71 required county design <br />requirements will be met and appropriate permits obtained prior to installation. <br />Domestic Water. Potable water is currently supplied through public facilities and water <br />coolers. The 300-foot deep water well previously located at Nucla Mine has been plugged <br /> and abandoned in accordance with proper procedures. Potable water at Nucla East will be <br />• provided through a waterline that ties into the City of Nucla water system. - <br />Solid Wastes. Solid waste has been placed in the Montrose County Sanitary Landfill, which <br />is currently in operation, under the guidelines stipulated by the State of Colorado. The <br />landfill is solely owned, operated, and maintained by the Counties of Montrose and San <br />Miguel. Solid wastes generated by the mining operations will continue to be hauled to the <br />county landfill. <br />Explosive Storage. At the Nucla Mine, the previous storage facilities (existing prior to <br />cessation) were moved to their present location in 1976. Explosive storage magazines were <br />constructed and located aceordfng to State and Federal regulations. The ammonium-nitrate <br />fuel oil mixture (ANFO) explosive is stored in a powder magazine, a second magazine <br />contained the prima-cord and connectors, and a third magazine contained the blasting caps <br />(see Exhibits 12-2 and 13-1). These facilities were dismantled when operations ceased but <br />were reinstalled at the same location in 1987 prior to mining activities. Prior to use, a <br />Colorado Bureau of Mines explosives permit was obtained. At the Nucla East area, similar <br />facilities will be used for explosive storage (see Exhibit 12-3 and 13-2). <br />• <br />13-33 Revised 04/11/88 <br />
