Pride of the West Tailings <br /> Page 2 <br /> Analysis <br /> Removal and consolidation of these tailings will remove the materials from exposure to <br /> groundwater seeps and severe the direct connection to the Animas River. This will prevent direct <br /> contact with flowing water and reduce the risk for impact to the Animas River and Cunnigham Gulch. <br /> Monitoring <br /> Due to the close proximity and high flow conditions which occur in the Animas River no <br /> monitoring is required for this project. <br /> Reporting <br /> Notification will occur at the start of project with final report to be submitted after completion <br /> of project. The final report will include cubic yards moved, final disposition of material and soil <br /> amendments used. Monitoring reports will be included with the annual seep and spring study and sent <br /> to both Water Quality Control Division and the Division of Minerals and Geology. <br /> Budget <br /> SGC will fund this program unless the property owner chooses to contribute. <br /> Remedial Goals and Objectives <br /> Cleanup of historic tailings,removal from contact with flowing water, severing existing direct <br /> connections to the river in order to reduce the impacts to the Animas River from dissolved metals. <br /> Contingency Plans <br /> lans <br /> Construct catchments to prevent sediments from reaching the Animas River during <br /> excavation. <br /> Should the owner not allow the tailings to be placed on the property: the tailings would than <br /> be relocated, mixed with high pH material for stabilization and placed in Tailings Pond #4 at the <br /> Mayflower Mill. Under SGC's MLR Permit(M-77-378),this material can be consolidated at Tailings <br /> Pond#4. <br /> _Legal Right to Enter and Conduct Activities <br /> SGC has not contacted the property owner concerning this project. No contact will be <br /> initiated until substantial agreement on remediation projects is reached with WQCD. No work will <br /> commence until proper permission is granted. <br /> Owner: Tucso, Inc <br />
