OPERATION
"Th

which will operate ;as _�total'ly closed circulatory loop consti-
tuting a non -discharge status. -.The circulatory loop is to be
,,•::, driven by -a- model T33. Zoeller pump which will deliver about
70 .:;GPM ;to ,.two 1-f/2" supply lines that feed the two ' recre-
.ational panning `flumes.:=` Water, „together 'with fine and medium
aggregates,�-,are .'.flushed. along these two flumes for, par-
= ticipants_,to experien.ce'the panning operation of mining. The
flumes -will --slope at.a rate of 2-1/2" in 12' to flow the wa-
ter__.and aggregates .in solution to a common collection point
--_::-where 4t-.`'"is.;conducted via a 411 -ret.urn . line to a settling box.
;_.,The...'-. f:unctiony of the_.°s-ettling box is to progressively' screen
