<br />The OML.LC drainage and sediment control network is designed to function as the primary
<br />mitigation system to prevent significant impacts on surface water quality. Disturbed area runoff from
<br />precipitation events and snowmelt is intercepted and routed through sedimentation ponds with a
<br />minimum detention time of 24-hours. The discharge from these sedimentation ponds meets effluent
<br />standards through the use of decants that will be opened after settlement of suspended solids. The
<br />top of the decant pipe will be utilized as a visual indicator of maximum allowable water level for
<br />r~perntirnai dewatering. Opexatirn', o`. the sedur,entaticn ponds :nay rzsnk 71'r srm.e delay m water

<br />constituents in the runoff retained in the pond due to evaporation.
