Site Reclamation Activity <br /> Page 8 <br /> ENGINEERING OFFICE SETTLING PONDS - Plate No. 3 <br /> Activity at this site during the 1993 reporting year consisted of: <br /> 1) placing a 12" - 18" overburden layer over a large portion of <br /> this area. This was done because of several failed attempts <br /> to establish vegetation in this area. It is believed that <br /> failure was due mostly to soil texture. The overburden was <br /> obtained from the designated borrow area by Tailings Pond #4. <br /> After covering, the area was seeded with the Mountain Mix at <br /> a rate of 22 lbs/acre and covered with hay mulch at a rate of <br /> 1 ton/acre. <br /> 2) constructing a drainage path across the site for Hwy 110 <br /> drainage ditch flow to pass through the site. This path was <br /> then rock armored with 2" - 8" rock to prevent erosion. <br /> 3) fertilization of established vegetation (areas not requiring <br /> overburden cover) with liquid fertilizer (7 . 17N 5. 38P 8 . 96K) . <br /> Planned activity for the 1994 reporting year consists of: <br /> 1) monitoring and maintenance of vegetation. <br /> MAYFLOWER MILL AREA - Plate No. 3 <br /> Activity at this site during the 1993 reporting year consisted of: <br /> 1) general site cleanup. <br /> 2) regrading of backslopes that were not completed previously. <br /> 3) seeding the regraded areas with the Mountain Mix at a rate of <br /> 22 lbs/acre and then covering with hay mulch at a rate of 1 <br /> ton/acre. Selected areas were also treated with limestone at <br /> a rate of 2 tons/acre. <br /> 4) fertilizing vegetation established previously with liquid <br /> fertilizer (7 . 17N 5. 38P 8 . 96K) . <br /> Planned activity for the 1994 reporting year consists of: <br /> 1) monitoring and maintenance of vegetation. <br /> 2) either working out plans for donating the mill to the San <br /> Juan County Historical Society for non-mining use or develop <br /> plans for removal as required for reclamation in the MLR <br /> reclamation plan. <br />
