Site Reclamation Activity <br />April 2001 - March 2002 <br />Page 7 <br />• <br />MAYFLOWER MILL AREA - Plate No. 3 <br />Ownership of this site was transferred to the San Juan County <br />Historical Society for conversion into a historical and <br />interpretive tour. This conversion was approved in AM-004 and took <br />place in May of 1996. The Historical Society has operated the tour <br />since 1996. In SR-02 the main mill building area was removed from <br />the permit area and Sunnyside was released from further reclamation <br />responsibility for the building area. <br />During 1998, a work plan was submitted to CDPHE for inclusion of <br />three water diversion projects as B List projects under the Consent <br />Decree. One of these projects included the construction of an <br />improved upland stormwater diversion system in the Mayflower Mill <br />area. The portion of this project within the MLR permit area was <br />also included in Sunnyside's TR-21 submittal. This work was <br />completed in 1999. <br />Activity at this site for the 2001 reporting year consisted of; <br />1) monitoring and maintenance of the vegetation and water <br />diversions. <br />Planned activity for 2002 consists of; <br />1) monitoring and maintenance of the planted areas and water <br />diversions. <br />MONITORING - Water Quality <br />Included in Appendix A is water quality data for; <br />1) Mayflower Millsite area <br />a) Animas River above (AR3.5) and below (AR4) complex. <br />b) Boulder Creek above (BC1) and below (BC2) tailings ponds. <br />c) monitoring wells on the banks of the Animas River down <br />gradient from Tailings Pond #3 (EOMW1 and EOMW2) <br />d) diversion ditch flow between Tailings Pond #3 and <br />Tailings Pond #4, up gradient of TP #3, (SCTP3-1) and <br />before entry to the Animas River (SCTP3-2). <br />~~ <br />
