Site Reclamation Activity <br /> April 1998 - March 1999 <br /> Page 7 <br /> During 1998 , a work plan was submitted to CDPHE for inclusion of <br /> three water diversion projects as B List projects under the Consent <br /> Decree. One of these projects included the construction of an <br /> improved upland stormwater diversion system in the Mayflower Mill <br /> area. The portion of this project within the MLR permit area was <br /> also included in Sunnyside's TR-21 submittal. Both submittals were <br /> approved during the 1998 report year. <br /> Activity at this site for the 1998 reporting year consisted of; <br /> 1) construction of the interception structure and diversion ditch <br /> approved in the Consent Decree and TR-21 for this area. <br /> 2) planting the area disturbed by construction with the permit <br /> "Mountain Mix" (mix included in Appendix) at a rate of 22 <br /> lbs/acre. Snowfall covered the area before mulch or <br /> fertilizer was added. If growth does not start from the <br /> seeding effort, it will be redone in 1999. <br /> Planned activity for 1999 consists of; <br /> 1) monitoring and maintenance of the planted areas. <br /> MONITORING - Water Quality <br /> Included in Appendix A is water quality data for; <br /> 1) Mayflower Millsite area <br /> a) Animas River above (AR3 .5) and below (AR4) complex. <br /> b) Boulder Creek above (BC1) and below (BC2) tailings ponds. <br /> c) monitoring wells on the banks of the Animas River down <br /> gradient from Tailings Pond #3 (EOMW1 and EOMW2) <br /> d) diversion ditch flow between Tailings Pond #3 and <br /> Tailings Pond #4, up gradient of TP #3 , (SCTP3-1) and <br /> before entry to the Animas River (SCTP3-2) . <br /> 2) American Tunnel area <br /> a) Cement Creek above (CC1/CC1A/CC1B) and below (CC2) <br /> complex. <br /> b) Springs in the area of the now reclaimed waste dump <br /> (ATS1, ATS2) . <br /> 3) Eureka Creek between Sunnyside Basin and the Terry Tunnel <br /> (EC1) <br /> 4) Mine Pool <br /> a) American Tunnel <br /> b) Terry Tunnel <br />
