A discharge <br />of one ton of salt per day can be considered a no-salt discharge by <br />the Department of Health. At the maximum expected flow rate of 40 <br />' gpm from the No. 1 Mine, the TDS concentration could be as high as <br />4150 mg/1 and still not exceed the one ton per day of salt <br />discharge limitation. Currently the TDS of the discharge is <br />' consistently less than 2000 mg/1. <br />The entire mine site has been reclaimed and seeded. Good plant <br />' growth occurred during 1988 through 1993. During 1992 a study was <br />performed at the mine site that demonstrates that untreated <br />drainage from the reclaimed area contributes fewer suspended solids <br />' than untreated drainage from the natural surrounding area, (permit <br />pages 4-19i though 4-19iii). <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />lJ <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br /> <br />
