Reclamation Feasibility Report - Virginia Canyon <br />prevent future erosion if the stream meanders. Diversion ditches should also be constructed to <br />convey run-on water around the pile. <br />Unknown Mine Site #11 <br />Location <br />This site is located approximately 150 feet northwest of the Lower Clarissa Tunnel waste pile <br />(Figures 3 and 22). The mine waste pile was sampled as site #11. Site #10 is located at LAT. N390 <br />46' 02.7", LONG. W105° 32' 16.7". The estimated volume of mine waste at this site is 3,300 cubic <br />yards. <br />Historic Structures <br />There are no historic structures at this site. The Flues of a boiler are immediately above the waste <br />rock pile. <br />Water Quality Impacts <br />The toe of the waste pile is being actively eroded by the stream. There is also some erosion from <br />road drainage that flow over the pile. The waste rock does not exhibit high concentration of heavy <br />metals compared to the other piles sampled.
