i <br /> INSPECTION REPORT - PAGE 2 <br /> FILE NO. M-77-378 <br /> DATE: June 19, 1986 <br /> OBSERVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: <br /> Terry Tunnel <br /> 1 . Doug Murray accompanied the inspectors on the inspection. <br /> 2. Refuse on site will be collected, placed in "sludge ponds" and buried. <br /> 3. The portal was discharging into the settling ponds, and further to <br /> Eureka Gulch without being treated. Portal discharge was running over the <br /> ground as well as into the transmittal trough. Please direct all discharges <br /> to the transmittal trough to minimize erosion and possible sedimentation of <br /> Eureka Gulch. <br /> Mill Site <br /> 1 . Overflow from the mill building "truck washdown area" collects in a pond <br /> adjacent to the security building. Mill water should be maintained in the <br /> building to the extent possible. <br /> Tailings Ponds <br /> 1 . Solid Waste Disposal was observed at (DRY) Tailings Pond No. 1 . <br /> 2. Tailings Pond No. 1 surface exhibited a large breach; surface runoff is <br /> now controlled by an earthen berm at the pond' s western extent. <br /> 3. The upland diversion ditches above tailings ponds No. 1 and 2 require <br /> maintenance. <br /> 4. Tailings pond No. 3 contained standing water, resulting from flushing of <br /> the tails line. This pond is required to remain dry, as it is a sludge <br /> disposal site. Please provide measures planned to insure the minimization of <br /> water introduced to this pond. <br /> 5. The diversion ditch above tailings pond No. 3 intercepts flow from <br /> upland drainage to the river. <br /> 6. Sludge and solution samples were taken at tailings pond No. 3. <br /> 7. Tailings and (2) solution samples were collected at active tailings pond <br /> No. 4. Solution samples at the ponds surface and toe (seepage) were collected. <br /> 8. Sloughed tailings at the toe of active tailings pond No. 4 were being <br /> removed and replaced atop the pile. Seepage through the pile was evident. <br /> 9. A sludge sample at the River sludge disposal site was collected. Please <br /> provide a reclamation schedule regarding this area. <br />
