If the ditch was constructed at the toe of the <br />bench area fill, the site topography would not allow the ditch to drain into the sediment pond. Therefore, <br />the ditch will collect all run -off from the disturbed facility area, except for the initially disturbed area of <br />the bench fill slope. Following construction of the facility bench area, the slope will be revegetated for <br />stability and sediment control and best management practices will be used to control run -off. Following <br />revegetation, the slope will not be disturbed by mining activities. <br />All ditches associated with haul roads located inside or outside the disturbed area shall also be designed to <br />contain the flow from the 10 -year, 24 -hour storm event and control erosive velocities. Sedimentation <br />control measures such as rip rap and straw bales shall be installed, as needed. <br />5.0 SEDIMENT POND <br />The Northfield Project site sediment pond was designed to effectively treat the run -off from the 10 -year, <br />24 -hour storm event. The pond was designed utilizing the SEDCAD4 computer model. The input <br />parameters and results are shown on the SEDCAD4 printout located in the Appendix B. Sediment pond <br />SEDCAD4 results are summarized in Table 3. <br />The location of the pond and its corresponding subwatersheds are shown on the Site Drainage Map. <br />Details for the sediment pond are located on the Sediment Pond Details sheet attached. A simplistic <br />approach was taken in determining disturbed area contributing to run -off. All areas which could possibly <br />be disturbed during the life of the project were considered disturbed for the sediment pond design. These <br />areas included the acreage below the run -on diversion ditches and above the run -off collection ditches. <br />Additionally, no sediment control barriers were used in the sedimentology design of the pond. This <br />approach resulted in a conservative design for the pond sediment storage design. <br />The sediment pond contains a principal and emergency spillway. The principal spillway has a 3 -foot tall <br />perforated riser. The riser will be enclosed with a trash rack screen to prevent clogging and pass the <br />10 -year, 24 -hour storm event without use of the emergency spillway. The principal spillway will also <br />allow for approximately 0.22 ac -ft of dead pool storage (not counting unused sediment storage volume) to <br />. treat mine dewatering flows. The dead pool storage will allow for approximately 1.0 days of dewatering <br />flow retention. The emergency spillway consists of a trapezoidal channel with 3H: IV side slopes. The <br />spillway crest and outlet slope will be armored. The emergency spillway is designed to safely pass the <br />
