FACILITY IYFORMATICN: (continued) <br />capable of containing and creacirg tie peak f'_ow from the '_0-;~esr, 24-hour <br />precipitation even[. The upper sedimeacacion pond concrois tie runoff <br />from approx'_mately 50 acres iR tie extreme seuthwest corer of tie <br />reclaimed mine area. The total ca~aci:'r or .ond volume of tie uDDer oond <br />is 1.7 acre feet or 5=3,946 gallons, whici is greater clan tae design 10- <br />year, 24-hour storm event volume of 0.35 acre fee c. The lower pond is <br />located to the southwest of the upper sedimentation pond. The lower pond <br />was designed to concroi sur?ace runo=' from a 38.4 acre drainage area and <br />in addition, the diverted runoff from the ~JO small watersheds. The coral <br />pond tenacity is 1.2 acre-:eec or '91,020 ¢a1'_ons, which is greater than <br />the design 10-year, 2~-!:our storm event volume of i.'_2 acrz-feet.
