The remainder of the mine waste dump will be removed and consolidated with <br /> addition of high pH material for stability. The area underlying the waste dump <br /> will be revegetated in accordance with SGC's MLR permit. The consolidated <br /> material will be capped and revegetated. <br /> (�) Surface Mill Tailings at Eureka- Eureka Townsite <br /> The surface tailings at Eureka will be removed from contact with stream water <br /> and consolidated with addition of high pH material for stability. Due to this area <br /> existing in an alluvial fan which consists primarily of gravel, no revegetation will <br /> be done. The consolidated material will be capped and revegetated. <br /> (4) Gold Prince Mill Tailings and Closure Bulkhead- Head of Placer Gulch <br /> The existing closure bulkhead which prevents entry will be reinforced and the <br /> Portal will be reshut to create a water retaining bulkhead. The surface mill <br /> tailings will be removed and consolidated with high,pH material. Disturbances <br /> will be revegetated. The consolidated material will be capped and revegetated. <br /> (5) Koehler Longfellow Portal and Mine Waste Dump- Headwaters of Mineral Creek <br /> The mine waste dumps will be removed from the creek bottoms and consolidated <br /> with high pH material for stability. Areas that do not occur within talus slopes <br /> will be revegetated. The consolidated material will be capped and revegetated. <br /> Run-on controls will be constructed to isolate clean waters from running across or <br /> through waste materials. <br /> During reclamation of the mine waste dumps, SGC will evaluate and analyze <br /> water flows from two existing adits. SGC will perform bench scale studies on <br /> alternative mine drainage treatment options during 1996 and 1997. SGC will <br /> assess the improvement in zinc loading between the Koehler and Longfellow adits <br /> and monitoring point M-2 during 1996 and 1997 and will-prepare an engineering <br /> design for a bio-pass treatment system. At the completion of the studies and <br /> reclamation work, SGC will provide$200,000 to a fund as directed by WQCD, <br /> which funds will be utilized for water quality improvement or remedial projects to <br /> address impacts of past mining in the Upper Animas River basin. <br /> (6) Boulder Creek Mill Tailings- Upstream of confluence of Boulder Creek and <br /> Animas River <br /> 13663I b <br />
