Mr. Ronald Zuck <br /> September 5, 1900 <br /> Page 2 <br /> 7. Why are the Robinson and Tenmile Tailing ponds kept active for <br /> so long? Pg. 2-9 <br /> 0. Has any topsoil from the Mayflower tailing area been used for <br /> reclamation, if so, where and how much? <br /> D. Disturbances - 6. <br /> 1. Table 6.1 - Please clarify what is meant by no reclamation on <br /> 400 acres in area #1 . <br /> E. Soils - 7.2 <br /> 1 . Since both soil and vegetation evolve interdependently, is an <br /> effort being made to segregate various topsoil types for replace- <br /> ment on similar areas for use by similar vegetation types? If <br /> not, why? <br /> 2. is all existing and useable topsoil currently being salvaged for <br /> use in reclamation? Since much of the area was disturbed prior <br /> to topsoil salvage, has any thought been given to salvaging <br /> useable subsoil for uee in reclamation? <br /> F. Wildlife - 7.3 <br /> 1. Please supply Table 7.3--,;�,. <br /> 2. Additional comments may be forthcoming from the Division of <br /> Wildlife. <br /> G. Water - S. <br /> 1 . The Division of Water Resources and a staff hydrologist are <br /> currently reviewing this section, I will sand you a copy of <br /> their questions and concerns as soon as available. <br /> 2. Please submit Table C.1 . <br /> 3. What is the nature of the leachate originating from the tailings <br /> ponds and waste rock dumps? <br /> 4. if treatment of water must occur during and after mining, where <br /> is the sludge disposed? <br /> 5. is there any possibility that contaminants from industrial water <br /> may seep out of the Arkansas River settling ponds into the Arkan- <br /> sas River? Pg. 0-3. <br /> 6. What happens after the. wire holding the gabions in the interceptor <br /> canals disintegrate? Now will canal stability be affected? What <br /> CFS were the canals designed to handle? What is the probable <br /> maximum flood in CFS? <br /> 7. Does all "industrial water" get recycled or is some water lost <br /> by seepage? If some is lost, where does it go? <br /> 0. What assurances are there that the Glory Hole will hold water? If <br /> seepage occurs, as you indicate it probably will , where will the <br /> seepage go? What will be the guaiity of the water in the G ory <br /> Hole Lake? Will it support life? Will this lake be a hazard to <br /> humans and wildlife? What are some alternative reclamation possi- <br /> bilities for this site and their related problems? <br /> ?. How is or will groundwater be monitored in the area to insure that <br /> seepage is not causing contamination? <br /> 10. Who will provide for the operation and maintenance of the reservoirs <br />
