• <br /> constructed around one or both ends of the dam to <br /> carry PMF waters to the Mayflower tailing pond . This <br /> construction project will be based upon engineering <br /> evaluations determining the most practicable method of <br /> minimizing infiltration and developing proper surface <br /> flow channels . <br /> Drainage into the Mayflower tailing area includes <br /> flows from the Tenmile area as well as from Clinton <br /> Reservoir , Kokomo Creek , Searle Creek , and direct <br /> precipitation. The outlet at Clinton dam presently is <br /> designed to handle the PMF, and the Clinton canal <br /> below the dam is engineered to bypass PMF waters <br /> around Mayflower tailing pond directly to Tenmile <br /> Creek . Near the end of the life of the Mayflower <br /> tailing pond , prior to rock capping , tailing will be <br /> deposited in a manner which will eliminate the present <br /> water pool and.__cr_eat.e a,,_east-w_est _divide on e pon <br /> Subsequent drainage from the pond to the east wir1—be <br /> handled by new water handling facilities constructed <br /> around the east side of the pond and the end of No. 5 <br /> dam . Surface drainage to the west will be removed <br /> through the existing twin 42" decant pipeline .

However , current best engineering judgment <br /> indicates that these flood control modifications will fully <br /> control flood conditions which may occur while assuring the long <br /> term stability of the tailing pond complexes . <br /> G-9 <br />
