Site Reclamation Activity <br />. April 2001 - March 2002 <br />Page 5 <br />TAILINGS POND #1 AND TAILINGS POND #2 - Plate No. 3 <br />During the 2001 reporting year no additional acreage was disturbed <br />or reclaimed. <br />Activity at this site consisted of; <br />1) monitoring and maintenance of the vegetation. This included <br />spreading organic material (steer manure) and fertilizer to <br />enhance vegetation growth and long term vegetation health. <br />2) maintenance of stormwater sediment controls. <br />Planned activity for 2002 includes; <br />1) monitoring and maintenance of the vegetation. <br />2) possible construction of improvements to stormwater <br />diversions. <br />ENGINEERING OFFICE SETTLZNG PONDS - Plate No. 3 <br />This site was deeded to the San Juan County Historical Society <br />(SJCHS) during 1996. Use of the quonset building, metal building <br />and topsoil stockpile area was retained by lease arrangement. <br />The SJCHS is developing plans to create a small industrial park in <br />a portion of this area in the future and is currently leasing the <br />warehouse building and some of the surrounding area to small <br />business concerns. Because of their plans, the SJCHS requested that <br />7.44 acres of this area be removed from Sunnyside's permit area. <br />Since planned and current usage did not meet the Post Mining Land <br />Use (PMLU) in Sunnyside's reclamation plan, TR-24 was submitted and <br />approved to change the PMLU. Sunnyside submitted a request for <br />release of this area from M-1977-378 and approval was granted in <br />the 2001 report year. <br />Activity at this site for 2001 consisted of; <br />1) vacation of the site other than use for limited vehicle <br />parking. <br />2) relocation of the topsoil stockpile from this area to the top <br />of Tailings Pond No.4. <br />• <br />
