4.0 MITIGATIVE MEASURES <br />Various designs of mine operations and facilities have been incorporated to minimize disturbance of area <br />hydrologic functions at the Golden Eagle Mine. The primary mitigative measure is the surface water control <br />plan which is discussed in the mine permit document. A demonstration was completed that showed that <br />sediment has been controlled through the reclamation of disturbed areas. The sediment control system was <br />removed in November 1998. Areas outside the surface water control plan were either seeded, mulched, and <br />protected with straw bale dikes or silt fences, or have previously been vegetated or graveled for erosional <br />stabilization. Minimization of disturbance is a long-term objective at the site. <br />Monitoring of area hydrologic functions will continue at the mine. This is an important mitigative measure <br />because it provides for identification of potential impacts and corrective actions to be taken. <br />' Reclamation plans have been implemented to restore surface disturbance and drainage. These plans are <br />discussed in detail in the mine permit document. <br />292-34 Golden Engle Mine Rpt (reb.l 1.04).doc 4-1 <br />
