flowing water and stormwater and placed in the Mined Land Reclamation permitted tailings <br /> pond on the property or at any other approved location. The excavated area would then be <br /> revegetated. No additional reclamation work will be done on the permitted facility. The <br /> catchment traps will be removed, the site regraded, soil amendments added, seeded and mulched. <br /> Work Plan <br /> 1) Build catchments. <br /> 2) Relocate tailings. <br /> 3) Remove catchments and regrade area. <br /> 4) Add soil amendments as needed, seed and mulch. <br /> Analysis <br /> Removal and consolidation of these tailings will remove the materials from exposure to <br /> groundwater seeps and sever 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 Cunningham <br /> Creek. <br /> Monitorine <br /> Due to the close proximity and high flow conditions which occur in the Animas River, no <br /> monitoring is contemplated for this project. In lieu of monitoring at this location, the tributary <br /> mouth will be sampled on a rotating basis with the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation. Monitoring <br /> reports will be submitted the month after the analysis is received as well as with the quarterly <br /> reports and sent to both the Water Quality Control Division and the Division of Minerals and <br /> Geology. <br /> Description of Land Use <br /> This remediation work plan is intended to use Best Management Practices on the site to <br /> conform with surrounding land use policies for: <br /> 1) Land stabilization, limited rangeland, and limited wildlife habitat to <br /> approximately resemble a mountain park ecosystem consistent with <br /> bordering undisturbed areas. <br /> 2) The conversion of facilities, usable for purposes other than mining, to <br /> alternate uses and the preservation of facilities of historic interest. <br /> 46094-2,9112,96 B-3 <br />
