Mr. Richard Atkinson <br />• May 14, 1981 <br />Page Five <br />The Taylor Gulch Pond and Gulch A have been revised to accommodate the <br />revised sediment volumes resulting from revised sediment delivery ratios and <br />revised CS factors. <br />5. Working area percolation pond: This pond is a component in the sanitary <br />waste disposal system and as such is not connected with storm drainage or the <br />sedimentation ponds. <br />b. Drainage from disturbed areas: The areas described in this point are drained <br />to t e Streeter Gu c and Gulch A detention ponds by the use of berm ditches, <br />terrace or contour ditches and the East Collection Ditch. In the area near <br />Streeter Gulch berm ditches at vertical intervals of 100' are employed to carry <br />the drainage along the berms in a northernly and westernly direction to the <br />Streeter Gulch channel. In the Section II fill either terrace ditches or contour <br />ditches will be used to conduct drainage to the Gulch A south ditch (Drainage <br />No. 5) and thence to Gulch A detention pond. A small area in the vicinity of <br />the Gulch A north ditch (Drainage No. 4) will be also conducted along terrace <br />ditches or contour ditches to the Gulch A north ditch and thence into the Gulch A <br />detention pond. The Eastside collection ditch, a portion of which is constructed <br />• and operating in Section 2, collects runoff from the fill areas below the last berm <br />and from construction roads and conducts this runoff to the 6900 berm of the <br />Streeter Gulch fill. As this ditch is extended with the mine progression into <br />Section II a portion of the ditch will discharge flow into Gulch A drainage system <br />and thence into the Gulch A sedimentation pond. <br />7, Section II Permanent Diversions: The Adequacy Review inquires about the design <br />of diversions to a located in conjunction with the Section II fill. The original design <br />of these diversions was a single diversion channel located along the south boundary <br />of the Section II fill. Data and sketch of this channel are given in Table 1 and <br />Figure 1 of Exhibit 7 to the Permit Application. The final post mining topography <br />as shown on Map 19 of the Permit Application portrays a minor modification to the <br />original design consisting of connecting the beginning of the ditch to the Streeter <br />Gulch Drainage (Drainage No. 3), thus restoring the drainage pattern closer to <br />pre-mining drainage pattern. This results in a smaller diversion that the Diversion <br />No. 2 to Prospect Gulch listed in Table 1 of Exhibit 7, for which the design section <br />should suffice. <br />8. Stock Water Ponds: The Adequacy Review requires compliance with applicable <br />ru es and standards. All engineering for these ponds will be in compliance with <br />the required standards. <br />2.05.4 (2)(C) 4.14 Backfilling and Grading <br />. 5. Stream Channel Reconstruction: The Adequacy Review requested plans for all <br />stream c annel reconstruction. The design data for all stream channel reconstruction <br />and supplementary ditches is given on Table 1 of Exhibit 7, sketches of the ditches <br />
