2.1.1 Narrative
SWPPP controls and BMPs were inspected onsite prior to work
each day. Goldfield Mine Road was inspected visually and with an XRF daily for
contamination, the road tested clean every day. Wood from the mill and barn
building demolition was placed in the impoundment and broken down using tracked
heavy equipment. Approximately 7,000
cubic yards (cyds) of material was removed from the mill area and placed on the
impoundment. The concrete slabs that were underneath the mill buildings were
cleaned off. On November 4th, the construction entrance was sloped
to divert potential stormwater from the mill area to the contracted drainage on
the north side of the construction entrance.
Contaminated soils were discovered around Mr. Nixon's (the land owner) outbuilding ('museum') that were removed by hand and placed on the impoundment. The building foundation was compromised due to age/deterioration. The building's foundation was stabilized/repaired.
Two loads of scrap metal were removed by the
recycler.
