The tailing ponds serve for tailing deposition and for water <br /> reclamation. <br /> 2. 7 TAILING DEPOSITION <br /> The active tailing deposition sites are currently the <br /> Robinson Tailing Pond (15) (approximately 771 acres including its <br /> two Dams, No. 1 and No. 2 Dams (16 and 17) , located directly <br /> north of the mill site upon the natural divide between the. Eagle <br /> River and Tenmile Creek drainages; and the Tenmile Taili.nq Pond <br /> (22) (approximately 526 acres including its Dam, No. 3 Dam (23) ) <br /> located at a lower elevation north of, and contiguous with the <br /> Robinson Tailing Pond; and deposition. has begun on the Mayflower <br /> Tailing Pond (32) located approximately five miles north of the <br /> mill at a lower elevation than the Tenmile Tailing Pond . Its <br /> ultimate acreage will be 1, 280 acres including its Dam, No. 5 Daw <br /> (33) . The crest of the No. 5 Dam will be approximately 515 feet <br /> high and have an overall face slope of 3 : 1. No. 1., No. 2 and <br /> No. 3 Dams have face slopes approximately 3: 1. <br /> The Robinson Tailing Pond will remain active probably <br /> through the mid years of Phase III or approximately 1990 , while <br /> the Tenmile and Mayflower Tailing Pond will function for the life <br /> of the mane. Approximately 35 , 000 cubic yards of topsoil have <br /> been stripped from the Mayflower tailing area to date, and approxi- <br /> mately 300, 000 cubic yards will be stripped during Phases II and <br /> III. The topsoil will be used immediately for reclamation purposes <br /> or stockpiled (35) for the near future reclamation projects. <br /> 2-11 <br />
