Surface Drainage of the Preparation Plant Area <br /> A proposal has been made to delete most of the Savage Pond <br /> located at Mid-Continent Resources Preparation Plant Area . In <br /> order to do this it must be shown that the four ponds constituting <br /> discharge point 001 are adequately large enough to contain the <br /> sediment and surface runoff from a 10 year - 24 hour precipitation <br /> event . <br /> The following computations are based on the Soil Conservation <br /> Services ` Procedures for Determining Peak Flows in Colorado (SCS) <br /> and Applied Hydrology and Sedimentology for Disturbed Area (AHSDA) <br /> (Barfield , et al . ) . <br /> In order to determine the arieal extent of disturbed area <br /> which contributes flow to the four preparation area ponds , Map <br /> II-B-App . 7-Att . 3 from Mid-Continent ' s permit application was <br /> used . Areas 1 , lA and 2 were examined in order to determine <br /> the total sediment loads and flow going to these ponds . <br /> Area 1 includes the preparation plant , district office, <br /> employee parking and coal stockpiles . This area has almost no <br /> vegetation and a relatively moderate slope. <br /> Area 2 includes the Savage Shop and parking area . This <br /> area also contains no vegetation and a relatively flat slope . <br /> Area lA contains the steep outslope of the old refuse pile . <br /> Although this area has a good vegetation cover it does not comprise <br /> more than 50% of the total area . <br />
