the water is recycled through the system. These twilling ponds <br />• and piles will be redistributed and reclaimed accordifng to the <br />reclamation plan (Exhibit E). <br />There are presently four (4) ponds on the prope~ty in the <br />immediate vicinity of the mining operation. There ark also two <br />diversion dams on Pennsylvania Creek which feed the twc~ pipelines <br />which supply make-up water for the mill. All but dune of the <br />ponds have been functional and present for well over a decade. <br />The lower ponds have served as clarifiers for they recycling <br />and discharge of the mine water of past operations. <br />These ponds will not be incorporated into the new operation <br />but will serve as the location for temporary tailing pules. One <br />of the ponds will be left to act as a catch basil for all <br />escaping water. This will control erosion and all~w further <br />• settling time of the suspended load of the released water. <br />Each phase will consist of at least two (2) pond (approx- <br />imate location is marked and shown on map). The firstlpond will <br />act as a dewatering of the spoils. This pond will be mucked with <br />rubber wheel loaders to temporary tailing piles <br />The next pond will act as a settling pond and reservoir from <br />which the water for the processing of the ore will be ~umped. A <br />third pond may be needed for additional clarification. dams <br />will be engineered and constructed so that they will be stable <br />and functional structures. These ponds will later beidestroyed <br />and the material from them will be incorporated in tF~e reclam- <br />ation portion of the operation. <br />• <br />5 <br /> <br />
