water rights may have to be transferred or acquired in <br /> order to obtain the legal right to store water in the <br /> Glory Hole Lake . <br /> b. Tenmile Creek Drainage. The Tenmile Creek drainage <br /> will include water from seepage and surface runoff from <br /> tailing areas, open pit waste dumps, Climax camp area, and <br /> existing old mines in the Mayflower area. It should be <br /> noted that all tailing areas will be covered with rock and <br /> resloped for more efficient drainage. This more efficient <br /> drainage will lessen the length of time water is allowed <br /> to remain on the tailing areas, and will lower the <br /> phreatic line and significantly reduce the amount of <br /> seepage through the tailing dams. <br /> Surface water and seepage water will be handled <br /> separately. Due to the reclamation of the tailing areas , <br /> waste dumps, and camp area, surface runoff water will be <br /> of comparable quality to the runoff from natural alpine <br /> terrain. Therefore , this water will be allowed to exit <br /> the property into Tenmile Creek. It is highly probable <br /> that the seepage from the No. 5 Dam and the waste dumps <br /> will need to be treated before released from the property. <br /> Climax is presently constructing a multi-million dollar <br /> water treatment facility in the Tenmile drainage . At the <br /> end of operations, this facility will be available to <br /> treat the seepages from No. 5 Dam, waste dumps, and <br /> existing old mines in the mayflower. area. The operating j <br /> experience gained while the mine is active will be used to <br /> develop the required treatment criteria for use when <br /> operations are terminated . <br /> C . Eagle River Drainage. Water in the Eagle river <br /> drainage that may require treatment after operations are <br /> r <br /> terminated could include seepage from Robinson Reservoir <br /> Dam, No. 1 Dam, and No. 4 Dam. These waters can be <br /> treated as necessary to meet appropriate water quality <br /> standards or pumped to the Tenmile Treatment System for <br /> treatment within the facilities previously described for <br /> that drainage. <br /> 8-13 <br />
