Permit Amendment (AM-06) - Climax Mine <br />CM0000490 <br />the principal EPFs in the Tenmile Creek Drainage. This system discharges treated water meeting the <br />conditions and standards of the CDPS Permit at Outfall 001 located near the property line. Under the <br />CDPS permit discussed in Section T-2.2, discharge of water from the site, including process water and <br />impacted waters are required to meet discharge water quality limits. Contaminants that might be released <br />from the potential sources discussed in Section T-5.3.1 would be captured within the Tenmile Creek <br />watershed above or at the Mayflower TSF where water is treated prior to discharge. Individual EPFs, <br />which are part of the water treatment system, are discussed in subsequent sections along with EPFs that <br />are present in other areas of potential contamination above the water discharge outfall. <br />Existing EPFs <br />In the portion of the Tenmile Creek watershed affected by Climax Mine operations, the following existing <br />controls are considered EPFs: <br />¦ EPFs for Water Treatment Chemicals; <br />¦ New TDL; <br />¦ ETDL; <br />Robinson TSF and 2 Dam; <br />¦ Tenmile TSF and 3 Dam; <br />¦ Mayflower TSF and 5 Dam; and <br />¦ 5 Dam Seepwater Collection and Return System. <br />Potential Future EPFs <br />In the portion of the Tenmile Creek watershed affected by Climax Mine operations, the following potential <br />future controls are considered EPFs in addition to those previously mentioned: <br />¦ EPFs for Designated Chemicals for Concentrate Production; <br />¦ McNulty Seepage Collection System; <br />¦ North 40 Seepage Collection System; and <br />¦ PDWTP. <br />As the need for these facilities is confirmed and design details are developed, submittals will be made to <br />DRMS as necessary. <br />EPFs for Water Treatment Chemicals: As discussed, various source waters are treated by lime <br />precipitation to raise the pH and precipitate metal hydroxides. Precipitates (treatment sludges) are <br />primarily contained within the sludge cell on the Tenmile TSF. Additional precipitation and settling occurs <br />in the Tenmile and Mayflower TSFs. Prior to discharge to Tenmile Creek, a sulfuric acid drip is employed <br />to reduce the final pH into the range stipulated by the CDPS Permit. <br />Lime: Slaked lime is currently produced at the Lime Station. The lime station includes conventional silos <br />for storage of lime prior to slaking and lime slakers. Slaked lime is produced by mixing lime from the silos <br />with fresh water from Buffehrs Lake and/or the McNulty Well. Slaked lime is then piped to the SDP and <br />also to the 3 Dam Pump Station located between Tenmile TSF and Mayflower TSF. <br />Sulfuric Acid: Sulfuric acid is incorporated into the water treatment system to lower the pH of <br />discharged water to within the range of pH 6.5-9.0. Sulfuric acid is stored in a 7,000 gallon carbon steel <br />tank at the Mayflower Pump Station. The tank is located within an epoxy lined concrete sump designed <br />to contain 120 percent of tank capacity. <br />GreatFloc 5500: GreatFloc 5500 is received in bags and put into solution onsite. The liquid solution is <br />stored in a 2,000 gallon mix tank and a 3,500 gallon feed/storage tank. These tanks are located within <br />secondary containment inside the SDP <br />Exhibit T T-18 May 2010
