Pumping and Operation Maintenance Plan for Cutler Mine (07-63)
Pumping is only proposed to occur on a twice-a-year basis, at maximum,to replenish stockpile
areas with material. Pump will be floated above the bottom of the mine pit to prevent intake of
sediment. Pump will discharge into a flat ditch acting as a level spreader, and as water overtops the
Level spreader,will sheet flow into through approximately 100 feet of adjacent riparian vegetation
before entering surface waters. Wastewater sampling will occur at the corner of the property
adjacent to Camp Leach Road on a quarterly basis, as prescribed in the NCG02 permit.
