Jim Stevens <br /> Senior Reclamation Specialist <br /> Mined Land Reclamation Division <br /> 1313 Sherman St. , Room 423 <br /> Denver, CO 8�1203 <br /> RE : File M-77-378 <br /> d s� i�`41d1v'� <br /> Technical Revision (TR 13 ) Request <br /> Tailing Pond #1 Reclamation <br /> Dear Mr . Stevens: <br /> Attached is a modified reclamation plan for Tailings Pond #1 , a <br /> copy of the geotechnical report that the earthwork is based on and <br /> a check for $150. 00 to cover the fee for consideration of this TR. <br /> This plan is similar to the revised reclamation plan for <br /> Tailings Pond #2 (TR 11) tnat was approved by the MLRD on May 6 , <br /> 1991 . <br /> The major change in the reclamation plan is the methodology used to <br /> achieve the same stated end goals . <br /> The major points of each plan are listed below: <br /> Existing Reclamation Plan: <br /> - No grading or altering of slopes. Current slopes range from <br /> 1 : 1 to 2 : 1. <br /> - Pond surface will be graded at approximately a one percent <br /> grade towards the hillside. The material to accomplish this <br /> is to be the sand fraction scalped from the tailings going to <br /> Tailings Pond #4 during operations . <br /> - Stabilization of the side-slopes and top is accomplished by <br /> erection of four-foot snowfences perpendicular to prevailing <br /> winds and application of a non-toxic cementing agent to bind <br /> loose tailings material . <br /> - Revegetation is accomplished by a process of spreading peat in <br /> hand dug furrows on 12" centers, fertilization, seeding, <br /> maintenance and establishment of secondary plant communities. <br /> - No definite schedule for reclamation. <br />
