The waters of Tomichi Creek are not muddy even <br />at flood stage and will not tend to fill up the lakes with debris <br />nor would the water quality be degraded. <br />If the area were flooded during the operational period, there <br />would be extra costs and possible delays in the minimg and <br />crushing processes. Dewatering would be the primary problem. <br />Flood water will be too shallow to damage equipment. <br />Reclamation Drainaoe Plan <br />Since there is na storm flow onto the pit area and since the lake <br />level is four to eight feet below the original ground surface, there <br />will be no flooding problem from a 100 year 24 hour duration storm <br />or even from a significantly larger storm. <br />Paae 43 of 66 <br />
