<br /> <br />area was examined. It indicated a flow of 82 gallons per <br />minute and contained 22~ solids. <br />These affected areas of about one acre will be somewhat <br />pie-shaped, and when their near limit of capacity is <br />reached, another pie-shaped section will be cleared, and a <br />proper embankment of compacted material constructed. <br />The areas abandoned for tailings fill can then be <br />partially reclaimed, thus minimizing the work and cost <br />involved in the final reclamation. <br />It is our belief that this procedure will minimize <br />cost, reduce loss of water through evaporation, improve dust <br />control efforts and generally contribute to a more efficient <br />operation. <br />Tailings dam embankments will be constructed not <br />steeper than one vertical to three horizontal. <br />Topsoil will be stockpiled for future use in <br />reclamation. <br />Our calculations indicate that the 4.6 acres of <br />tailings disposal is adequate in size to accommodate <br />tailings disposal needs for 10 years at a proposed rate of <br />full production of 125 tons per day. <br />DUST CONTROL <br />Dust control of the tailings disposal area is expected <br />to be greatly enhanced by the fact that the pond area is <br />sheltered by a dense growth of pines and is located on the <br />lee side of a hill which affords considerable protection <br />
