Gold Prince Mill Tailings and Waste Dump <br /> Page 3 <br /> Monitoring <br /> Monitoring sites will be established above and below the site for dissolved metals and continue <br /> for two years after completion of consolidation. Four sample sets will be taken yearly with one as <br /> soon as site is open in the spring and once during low flow in late fall. Samples will be taken in the <br /> creek above and below the site. All samples taken will be analyzed for dissolved Zn, Fe, Al, Mn, Cd, <br /> Cu, sulfate and hardness. A field pH will be taken as well as field measurements for flow. <br /> Reporting <br /> Due to the short duration of this project, a report will be submitted after consolidation is <br /> completed. Results of the monitoring will be submitted with the annual seep and spring study to both <br /> the Water Quality Control Division and the Division of Minerals and Geology. <br /> Budget <br /> SGC will fund this program. <br /> Remedial Goals and Objectives <br /> Cleanup of historic mill tailings and mine dumps with removal from contact with rainwater <br /> and snowmelt in order to reduce potential impact to the Animas River from heavy metals. <br /> Contingency Plans <br /> Removal and isolation of tailings and mine waste is planned onsite. Should this not be realistic <br /> due to groundwater conditions, SGC will haul the material to Tailings Pond#4 at the Mayflower Mill. <br /> Under SGC's MLR permit M-77-378 this material can be consolidated into Tailings Pond#4. <br /> Sediment catchment traps will be built as needed to prevent water from carrying sediments <br /> to streams during the course of the project. <br /> Relocation of the waste and tailings will be done using practices which will prevent spillage <br /> of materials. <br /> Legal Ritaht to Enter and Conduct Activities <br /> This project is on property owned by Sunnyside Gold Corporation. <br />
