the pit. Installation involved burying forty -foot beams under the road and extending them over the pit. A <br />platform was constructed on the beams extending over the pit. A submersible pump, along with hosing and <br />piping, is suspended from the platform into the pit. A winch installed on the platform assists in setting the pump <br />at the desired elevation. A second pump was added to provide make -up water for Washplant II. Control <br />equipment for this second pump was installed at the existing pump platform location <br />The water pumped from the Area 1 Pit can go in one of four directions, or a combination of them: 1) Pit to <br />Washplant I; 2) Pit to Washplant II; 3) Pit to mine water recycling line; and /or 4) Discharge to Foidel Creek. <br />The water pumped from the pit is piped to a de- sander, located at an old well site. From this point it is piped to <br />one or both of the washplants or piped over and tied into the existing mine water line. A line has been installed <br />from the de- sander back to the pit so that the back -flush water can be returned to the pit. The location of the <br />lines is shown on Map 24. The trenches were dug with a backhoe or trackhoe. During the excavation process <br />suitable plant growth media was removed and windrowed adjacent to the trench and then replaced on top of the <br />sub -soils returned to the trench. <br />TR12 -80 2.05 -97.8 09/04/12 <br />
