Health Department to handle office trailer water (toilet /shower). A fence would be constructed around <br />the site area and a gate would be installed at the entry off of Thompson Park Road. <br />4 <br />Figure 4: looking at modified drawing submitted by applicant that illustrates what a typical placer <br />gold /gravel operation would look like. The mine /milling equipment is expected to look very similar to <br />this proposal. The lower equipment items were not identified on the submitted drawing. The <br />important piece is the dual sluice boxes shown. <br />The fuel tank would be placed in a shallow pit with a heavy plastic liner with twice the holding capacity <br />of the fuel tank and similar holding capacity and design for any hydraulic fluids and oils. Used oils would <br />be stored in 55 gallon drums in the lined pit area. If a spill over 25 gallons in size, the hazards spill <br />hotline would be contacted. Any contaminated soil would be dug up and placed in barrels and disposed <br />of properly and no smoking signs within 50 feet of the fuel tank would be posted. A diesel generator <br />would be used to run the wash plant and equipment pertaining to the use of washing and screening of <br />gravel. <br />Equipment such as dump truck, track hoe, loader, bull dozer, can be expected on site for the purpose of <br />excavation and loading of materials. The applicant proposes to have a trash dumpster on site and to <br />keep all trash picked up. Martial not being used would be kept in a material yard in the southwest <br />corner of the permit area. <br />Initially water would be hauled into the site until a well permit obtained and well were constructed and <br />placed in a 1,000 cubic foot holding tank (approx 3,000 gallons). The amount of water being used in this <br />closed circuit system is estimated at 1,000 gallons per minute therefore the system relies heavily on <br />reuse of water. Ground water is not expected in the site area and there are no surface streams on the <br />site. <br />
