feeding a continuous milk of lime slurry to the renovated mix tank in <br /> the existing reagent building. A liquid flocculant system was also <br /> installed with 6000 gallons of storage . The Polybiend flocculant <br /> mixer/feeder is capable of feeding any concentrat:Dn of flocculant to <br /> the mix tank on a continuous basis . Roughly one year of storage of <br /> liquid reagent is available . A 16 inch inlet pipeline replaces the <br /> previous two eight inch inlet lines to the mix tank. <br /> All four settling ponds were cleaned during May 1987 and October <br /> 1987 . Roughly 3 . 5 million gallons of sludge/water was pumped from <br /> the ponds with the Mud Cat Lagoon Dredge into 80 barrel ( 3000 gallon) <br /> vacuum water trucks for haulage to Tailings Pond No. 3 and disposal . <br /> At all times at least two feet of freeboard is available in each <br /> settling pond. <br /> A new 24 inch outlet spillway was installed in settling pond no. <br /> 4 -�o replace the old decayed spillway. To prevent the discharge of <br /> fluting solids , a 24 inch CMP T, oriented vertically, was added to <br /> the spillway inlet. <br /> Considerable upgrading to the snow shed has also been <br /> accomplished including repair of siding and graveling the snow shed <br /> floor. A second rock dump for waste material is being added <br /> immediately to the south of the existing ore dump. This will <br /> facilitate removal of waste rock and , low grade ore from the mine. <br /> Activities planned for 1988 include sampling the newly deposited <br /> waste to determine acid production potential, and continued <br /> semi-annual settling pond clean-out. Also, a new 16 inch outlet <br /> pipeline will be installed from the reagent building, running 100 <br /> feet to a manhole where connection to the twin 10 inch bypass lines <br /> -3- <br />
