2 Permits <br />Sediment retention structures will be constructed prior to mining related disturbance in the <br />• overlying watershed. These structures are designed to have adequate sediment storage, to <br />effectively treat the 10-yeaz 24-hour storm for settleable solids, and to safely pass the 25-year 24- <br />hour storm event through the discharge structures. Sediment control reservoirs will be operated <br />to maintain their effective design capacity. Sediment will be cleaned out at approximately 60 <br />percent of the three-year sediment storage level. The sediment level in ponds will be visuaity <br />approximated during the quarterly pond inspections, as water level conditions permit with <br />support from a staff gage placed at the base of the pond on the inlet side. Gradations wilt be <br />marked on the staff gage and the maximum storage level will be marked on the riser pipe, to <br />allow sightings during dry conditions. Cleaning will be done during dry periods of year, typically <br />between fall and mid-winter or in eazly summer when the pond sediments have had an <br />opportunity to dry out. Depending on their portability, cleanings may be stacked upstream yet <br />adjacent to the pond to dry out, or they may be immediately taken to the surface mine For <br />disposal in the pit. The ponds are designed to prevent diminution to downstream water users. <br />Each structure has been designed under the supervision of a professional engineer. Ponds are <br />shown on Map 2.05.3-2 and design documentation is presented in Exhibit 15. <br />All impoundments are designed to have embankments approximately 10 ft high and storage <br />capacity less than 20 acre feet. In those locations where the topography is too steep, storage <br />capacity is achieved by excavation. Excavated impoundments aze incised no deeper than 5 ft <br />below the bottom of the embankment, and the volume in the lower 5 ft is used for sediment <br />storage and dead pool. Exhibit 15-14 illustrates typical design parameters for both totally <br />impounded and excavated ponds. By using excavated impoundments, LCC anticipates that <br />• MSHA and State Engineer's approvals will not be required. Excavated material will be used for <br />embankment construction and placed in the mine backfill or in the excess spoil fill areas. Topsoil <br />will be stockpiled near the pond sites. <br />Small azea exemption (SAE) designs are included in Exhibit 15. These provide documentation <br />that the effluent draining from small disturbances at auxiliary facilities or adjacent to topsoil <br />piles outside the major disturbance areas will meet effluent limitations following the use of one <br />or several sediment control measures. These include but aze not restricted to the use of rock, <br />mulch, straw bale dikes, silt fencing, rock check dams and vegetative filters. <br />A small (approximately one acre) service azea will be constructed to the north of the Jeff Canyon <br />Haul Road, as shown on Figure 2.05.3-14b. This area will be used for placement of portable fuel <br />Tanks, ANFO prep bins, a cap house, a miscellaneous equipment. The site will be leveled and <br />graded to drain to a bermed drainage collection area on the south east side, where storm water <br />will be treated with a silt fence or gravel drain before discharge. SEDCAD calculations (Exhibit <br />IS) estimate the runoff from a 10-yeaz, 24-hour, storm event will be approximately 0.2 acre-ft <br />which can be effectively treated with a 100-ft silt fence. <br />The mine office SAE is located in an area previously disturbed by ranching and oil and gas <br />operations. Effluent limits will be met by applying gravel to traffic areas and constructing a <br />containment berm along the north edge of the site. <br />• This bean will include a gravel drain structure at its lowest elevation. <br />Page 2.05-33 Rule 2 Permits (Apr.4.02).doc 2.05-33 (Revised 04/04/02) <br />
