Page 2 <br /> Gold Prince Inspection <br /> closed off to entry by timber lagging on the interior timber set . <br /> The County Road through the site was realigned to make room for the dump expansion area. <br /> This realignment did not require as much change as previously anticipated. Soil material was <br /> stripped from the dump expansion area and stockpiled for use to cap the consolidated mine waste <br /> and mill tailings collected from around the site (i.e. tailings piles T-1,T-2, and T-3 and mine waste <br /> piles W-1, W-2, W-3, W-4, W-5, and W-6). A containment area for the tailings was constructed <br /> from mine waste within the dump expansion area. Drains were placed under this waste to allow <br /> any springs or seeps that may exist in this area to pass under the mine waste. The bowl shaped <br /> containment area was lined with geotextile and PVC 40 mil liner material. Tailings and coal ash <br /> clinkers were collected and placed within this lined containment. Alkaline material was placed <br /> with the tailings to provide pH stabilization although, acidic conditions were not encountered <br /> during excavation. After all collected tailings and ashes were placed, the top was covered with 40 <br /> mil PVC liner to keep water from entering the tailings from the top. <br /> The contained material was them covered with the remaining mine waste material to provide the <br /> contours that will make this consolidation pile resemble a historic mine dump to preserve the <br /> historical and cultural aspects of this site. The top surface of this consolidated pile will be capped <br /> with the stockpiled soil by Saturday, September 20,1997. <br /> Areas from which waste rock, tailings, and ashes were removed were amended with limestone <br /> acidic conditions were not found) to provide long term neutralization, capped with soil , planted <br /> with SGC's high altitude seed mix (mix sheet attached), fertilized where required, and mulched <br /> with hay. <br /> The stream flow crossing the Hanson Mill waste area will be diverted back into the stream <br /> channel to minimize the runon water passing through this area by Saturday, September 20,1997. <br /> An upland diversion ditch was constructed to divert stormwater around the site. It is located <br /> along the inside edge of the County Road (that passes laterally above the waste piles) to the east <br /> of the portal and below the road from the portal area to the stream on the west side of the project <br /> area. These segments are connected by a culvert under the road. Final grading will be completed <br /> by Saturday 20,1997 <br /> Please contact me if there are any questions on this completion certification or if any additional <br /> information is required to initiate an inspection request to DMG by the Division. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Larry Perino <br /> Reclamation Manager <br /> cc: Walley Erickson, DMG <br />
