Site Reclamation Activity <br /> April 1999 - March 2000 <br /> Page 5 <br /> Hwy. 110, grading and forming a ditch (with fill material from <br /> the borrow area behind Pond No.4) , lining the ditch with 30 <br /> mil liner and covering the liner with sub-soil material. The <br /> disturbed area was then seeded with the MLR Mountain Mix (mix <br /> sheet included in Appendix A) and mulched with grass hay. <br /> Completion of this project allows surface run-off to exit the <br /> site instead of infiltrating through tailings material. <br /> 4) extension of the Tailings Pond No. 4 upland groundwater <br /> interception and diversion coverage up-slope of Tailings Pond <br /> No.4. This work included removing overburden material down to <br /> a clay layer and placing a lined ditch at the overburden-clay <br /> contact to intercept water traveling along this contact. The <br /> intercepted water will be carried around the tailings material <br /> by the lined run-off diversion ditch along the pond-hillside <br /> contact. The lined ditch was covered with overburden material <br /> and planted with the MLR Mountain Mix. This project is a <br /> Consent Decree project and was also approved in TR-21. Because <br /> of weather at the end of the construction season when this <br /> project was completed, some completion work may be required in <br /> the 2000 report year. <br /> Planned activity for 2000 includes; <br /> 1) maintenance and/or completion of the water diversion projects <br /> approved in TR-21 and implemented during the 1999 report year. <br /> 2) monitoring and maintenance of the vegetation. This may include <br /> an extension of the test program of placing composted steer <br /> manure to improve vegetation health. <br /> TAILINGS POND #3 AREA - Plate No. 3 <br /> Activity at this site consisted of; <br /> 1) maintenance of stormwater sediment catchment. <br /> 2) monitoring and maintenance of the vegetation. <br /> Planned activity for 2000 includes; <br /> 1) monitoring and maintenance of vegetation. <br /> 2) potential improvement of drainage pathways. <br />
