Reclamation Feasibility Report - Virginia Canyon <br />With the exception of lead, the waste rock analysis indicates that this material is not high in heavy <br />• metals relative to the other sites sampled. However, because of the erosion that has occurred at <br />this site in the past and the likelihood of additional erosion, this pile should be considered a high <br />priority. Results from the 2:1 leachate analysis are given below. <br /> <br />PH VIIG 7 W <br />Total Acty <br />As <br />Cd <br />Cu <br />Fe <br />Mn <br />Pb <br />Zn <br />S.U. m /I b b b b b b b <br />3.27 104 BDL 130 330 140 2800 4500 20000 <br />Reclamation Measures <br />The preferred reclamation measure for this site is to divert road runoff around the waste pile, and <br />move the stream channel to the east. The stream channel should be regraded to eliminate the <br />active head cut. The toe of the waste rock pile will have to be armored with riprap to prevent future <br />erosion as the stream channel migrates toward the west. <br />Unknown Site #46 <br />Location <br />This mine waste pile is located in Boomerang Gulch above the Rattler Tunnel and immediately <br />below the Inter Ocean Mine sites 45 and 144 (Figures 3 and 31). The site is on the Bullion Inter <br />Ocean Vein. The mine waste pile was sampled as site # 46. Site #46 is located at LAT. N390 45' <br />30.1 LONG. W1050 31' 19.2". The estimated volume of mine waste is 2,000 cubic yards. <br /> <br />0 v 57
