process up to approximately 4314,000 tons of ore pcr ),ear at an average rate of 2,000 tons per day
CntD) over a Period of cight years. The principal project components wiu be the Barneys and Mel-
Co open pit mines and related mine waste dnmps and a processing plant. The processing plant will
oonsist of screening conveying, ore cnrshing and agglonerating facilitieg a number of heap leacb
pads, a leachate processing plant and refnery and offices and shops.
It is Kennecott's intention to commence constructioD in the third quarter of 1988 leadiag to
gold production in the third quarter of19g9.

The Barneys Canyon Pit and heap leachi"g facilities wil be located north of tbe mouth of
Baraeyc Canyoa along the castern flanlr sf the Oquirrh Mountains, Salt l,ake C.ounty, Utab.
Grotmdwater geuerally flows in an easterly direction from the Oquirrh Mountains toward the Jordan
Rircr. Depth to the water table in this part of the Salt l*ke Valley geuerally increases with the
risc in topqgraphic elevation Thereforg groundwater depths wilt be grcatest near the mountains
and shallower as distance from the mountains increases. lltis occurrence is characteristic of a
groundwater rccharge area (Wadde[ Seiler and Solomon, 19&7).
the aquifer matcrials along the nargins of the SaIt Iake Valley are charactetizrA by thick
unconsolidatsd allwial sand and grarrel deposits soafnining lenses and beds of finer gained sands,
silts and clap. the aquifers along the valley margins are generally unconfined and are recharged
from precipitation, seepage from ephemeral streams, inigation ditches, pond6 and resenoirg and
secpage from be&ocll Recharge from the bedrock is bclieved to contribute the greatest volume of
water (approxiBately 45% of. total recharge) to the ralley-fill aquifer. The bedrock is predominantly
recharged in the upper cleviations of the oquirrh Mountains (waddell ct 4 19g7).
Pump tests have bccn performed ou the ooarse grained rmconsolidated aquifer beneath the valley
benc,h aear Bingham Canyon The hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer -aterial has been estimated
to range from 1.0 x 104 to 35 x t04 feet per second. Hydraulic gradients are estimated at 0.063
and substratum porosity is approxinatety 30 pcrcent. Usiag these figrres as a basis for the Barnep
Canyon area' average linear groundwater rrclocities could range from @ to 2300 feet per year
(Waddelt Seiler and Solomon, 1987).
Groundwater quality hes also been characteiznd at several locations downgradient and north of
Barnep Canyon- \ilatcr analyses show a total dissolwd solids conccutration rangilg fron 430 to 910
nilligrans per liter. These dissolved constituents are dominated by calcium, nagnesiun, bicarbonate,

233 Local Recharge (aaraasisics
The rate of groundwater recharge is dependent on the hydraulic e.haracteristics of the surfcial
soif underlying rmconsolidated sediments and bedroclc Dcscriptions of the surficial soils by tbe Soil
Conservation Service (SCS) indicate clay and silt loams are present in the Baraep Canyon project
arca. Infiltration rate is modcrate (05 - Z0 inches per hour) and permeability is slo\il to moderately
slow (SCS, ln4). Runofr from precipitation cwnts is rapid as these fine-grained soil layers linit
the infiltration and percolatioa of watcr do*lward into the soil horizon Laboratory permeability
tests were also conducted on samples of compacted surficial soils obtained from the leach pad areas;
Table 2-11 lise the results of these tests. The soils from the surface to a depth of 3 fcet wsrc
clas"cified as silty to gravelly clay with compacted permeabilitics ranging from 1.1 x 10'5 to lass than

Aquifer recharge takes place fron precipitatio4 seepage from ephemeral strcamg seep4ge from
ponds, rescrvoirq irrigation ditches and from spring. Since no pordE rcservoirs, or irrigation
ditches are located within the project area, precipitation events alone defne the quantity of water
available for recharge. Barneys Creek ruDning from Barneys Canyon is an ephemeral stream and
likely coaributes measurable quantilies of recharge water to the aquifer during spring snoumelt and
ntnoff Gvents atthough these events are short lived and the total anount of rccharge contributed by
surhce sccpage into the dlwiun appcars tobe linited-
Most of the groundwater rcclarge takes place in the higber ele\Etions of the Oquirrh Mountains
(Waddell' Seiler and Solomoo, 1987). Ia thcse areas, shallow soils and fractured bedrock allow for
rapid percolation of snownelt and rain into the aquifer below. ltis recharge water floun dovm from
the motmtains and entcrs the rnalley fill underground. Therefore, grormdwater flowing beneath the
Barneys Canyon project area is nainty recharged fr66 highsl elerations while little rec,harge actually
takes plae in the project area
233 LocalAquier Cbaractccigi,cs
A total of 11 decp monitoring welts harre been installed at the Mel-Co and Barneys Canyon pit
areag the leach facility area, and nearby at the Utah Copper Concentrator. Table 233 lists these
holes and the depths to the water table. Contoruing the water clevation data from these holes
shows that the rnain watcr table surface subparallels the land suface at the Barncys Canlon projecr
site @grue z3it). From the proposed mine arean flow is generally eastc/ard toward the Jordan
River. The hydraulic gradient at the leac,h pad site is steep, at around 0.1 ft7ft, but decreases to
about O.Bff/ft under the 53ffi topographic coutour about one mile cast of the leach pads. Water
table deptbs vary from 600 feet at the Mel-Co Pit site to betwcen 140 to 350 feet below the ground
surface in the Barnqn Canyon Pit area. Watcr table deptbs in tbe leach pad area rangp from 145
to 160 feet below the ground surface (Damcs and Moorg 19gg).
Tbe main aquifer is composed of volcanic rocks consisting of andesitg latite porphyry, latite
tu$ and dacite. Aquifer tests fron wells near the Utah Copper Conceutrator tocated about 15
miles from the project site reveal aquifer permeabitities in the volcanic rocls range from 0.098 - 3.0
feUday. Howener, aquifcr tesg of drill holcs BC-14 and BC-150, locatcd. at the Barnep lcacb

Bradshaw-Agassiz Association
Asassiz
The Agassiz soils occur on the steep ridges around the Melco pit and dump. They are
35
sballow (<20 inches), well-drained soils over bedrock Thc surface layer is very cobbly silt
loam' and the subsurface layer is also rrcry cobbly silt loam that is slightly calcareou. The
average topsoil depth is 12 inches but numerou rock outcrops wilt linit thc actual anount
salwged The SCS describes the potential for erosion gs high.
Bradshaw
The Bradshaw soils occur in association with Agassiz soils in thc Mcl-Co pit and dump area but
are usually found in concaw positions of the slopes over colluvium- the surface layer is very
cobbly silt loam as is the ligbter colored subsurface lalcr. The horizons are weakly dcrreloped.
The substratum is collwium developed from limqstone and quartzite. The average topsoil depth is
20 inche.s but some sites will contain topsoil to fl) inches or more. The potential for erosion is
higb, accordingto the SCS.
Fitzserald
ltis soil is found on the nortl border of the Mel-Co pit on the north slope of the ridge.
The vegetation is a spruce-fir forest with limited understory. Ite surface layers are dark
grayish-brovm gravelly loam and the subsurface layers are yellowish-brown gravelly silt
loam- The substratum is colluvium ald rcsiduum from mixed sedimentary rocla. The topsoil
depth averages 18 inches. The scS lists the potential for erosion 6s high for this soil t1pe.

Gaopmaver-Wallsbure Association
Gaoomaver
The Gappmayer soils are located on north-fac-irg slopes along the Mel-Co to Barneys haul road
route. The parent material is colluvium and residuum from mixed sedimentary rocts. The
surface layer is rrery cobbly loam and gaveUy silt loan and the subsurface layers are rrcry
gravelly silt loam- Tte depth of topsoil is Z inches. The SCS states that the potential for
erosion is moderate.
Walsbure
This soil occurs with the Gappmayer soits uually occupying the ridge tops and upper parts of
the stccp slopes. The parent natedal is cotlwium and rcsiduun from mixed sedimentary roctrs.
The surface lalcrs are very cobbly loam while the subsurface layers are very cobbly silty loam.
Bedrock is present at 1? inches. lte deptb of topsoil is about 15 inches. The potential for
erosion is described as high by the SCS.
Drv Creek-Coooerton Association
Coooerton
The Copperton soils are fouod in association with the Dry Creck and Harkcr soils and occur on
nalro\il ridges and drainagcs that traverse the loqg allwial fans. The soils formed over alluvium
derived from mixed sedimentary roclc The surface layers are very gravelly and very cobbly
loan and the subsurfacc layers are rrcry cobbly fiae sandy loam characterized by lime
n
accumulations. The topsoil depth arrcrages 18 inches. The potential of erosion is moderate,
according to the SCS.
Drv Cteek
These soils are on the easterly slopes of high alluvial fans- in the Barney Canyon pit and dump
area aad in the leach pad sites. The surface layers are silt loam and the subsurface layers silty
clay loan to silty clay. A distinct lime accumulation oocurs bclow the subsurface la,,ers. The
topsoil deptb can be up to 40 inc,hes. The SCS reports that tbe erosion potential is modcrate.
Harker-Drv Geck Association
Harker
The Harkcr soils are in association with the Dry Creck and Copperton soils in the Barneys
Canyon pit and dump area and occur on the higher elevations of the fans and drainages. The
surface layers are heary loan rvtile the subsurface lalcrs are gave[y clay loam to gravelly

The riparian comrnunity varies greatly dcpcnding upon the size of the drainage in which it
oosurs and elerration- Generally, riparian stands have trees and shrubs that grow in deuse stands
and are taller tha" the surrounding rrcgetatirc commrmity. Whcre drainages harrc wide flat c,hannels
atd floodplains, tbe deciduoru trces cqn form crensive woodlands.
The plaaned baul road segmeot within Barneys C;anyon will pass throryh a large riparian

Thc riparian comnuity adjaceat to the chanel in Barneys Canpn is doninated by large stands
of maple (Acrlt sandidentatum) with scattered birches (@lt occidentalis), spon fpooulus
tre'muloides). chokecherry (Pnmrs drgipiana), and bluc clderberry (Sambucrs caerulca). The

The gold in the Barneys Canyon deposit is hosted in sandy dolomite and sandstone. The ore in
the Mel-Co deposit is contained in calcareou sandstone. The geologl of the Barnep Canyon andMel-Co mineral deposits is described in detail in Section 212. Tbe Baraeys deposit is a sub-horizontal oocurrenoe of gold ore that is highly variable in thickness and overlain by zso (0) toperhaps 4{D feet of owrburden. Maximum pit depth is planned to be approximately ?50 feet. Thegeneral geonetry of the ore deposit is shown io plao and in cross section in Figrre A-I-1 which isfound in Appendix A (CONFIDEI{"flAL). The Mel-Co deposit is a near-r,ertically dipping ore depositthat is somewhat elongate io plaq as Figure A-I-2 in Appendix A (CONFIDENTIAL) shoun. TheMel-Co ore body is e':rposed at the surface; however, removal of owrburden above and adjacent tothe ore body will result in a pit with a maximnm depth of approximately 760 feet.

that three l7-foot tifts of ore will be placed on cach pad- The pads haw been designed and
approrred by BWPC for a maximum orc heigbt of I25 feet. To rcduce capital outlay, thc pads wi[ be
constructed sequeatially as nceded with the BC-l leach pad constructed in 1989. Other pads will be
constructed in later years. The general arrangement of the leaching facility is sho*u on Figures
3.+1. A generalized drawing depictiag itre rnajor oonponents of leach pads is shorm on Figrre 3.*,
Z Leach pads will be sized and arranged on the site to reduce the amount of grading required forpad foundations
Leach Pad Foundations
Each pad will first be graded to produce a firm foundation. Grading wiU be preceded byvegetation and topsoil removal. The topsoil wil be placed in stockpiles for frrtrue use inreclamation of the facilities. The pad foundations will be built with cut and fill techniques wherethe alluvial soils will be excavated from the tidges and placed in the low spots as engineered 6lts.The backfills wiu be raised in horizontal lifts not s:lc€€ding &inches in thickness, conditioned withmoisture and compacted to W95Vo of na:rimum dry density (see Appendix E for full specification).The general grade of the pad foundations will slope along their long dimensions at 6% naximun andless than LVo along their short dimensions so tbat each pad will have its lowest poiat in a corner for
ef6cient solution collection (Figure 3.+3). Stability analyses performed by Sergent, fhuskins sndBeclnilith (1988) indicate that the heaps will be stable. fte detailed grade of the pad surfaces willtypically accomnodate the topography through the use of long terraces which themselves have slopesalong their long and short .linensions for drainage of solutions (Figure 3.+3).

At the doqmhil margins of the pads, the pad surface will terminate in a solution collectiontrench that is ll-feet wide at the crest and 2 feet deep. Outside of the trend there will be apcrimeter berm that is 2-feet high v,,ith an 8-foot wide toe (Section d Figure 3.+3). The bottomcorner of each leach pad cell will be equipped with a leachate collEction pipe erending through theperimeter bern @etail 6, Figure 3.U). This pipe will be made of welded HDPE and will tnnsportthe collected solutions to the leach pads.
Liner Irak Detection Srntem
A Six-inch-thidq high permeability pad drainage s),stem is installed above the compacted low-permeability subgrade. The purpose of the leak detection s)4stem is to alert operations personnel tosolution losses thro'gh the HDPE and clay liners. T:pical cross sections of the pad lining and leakdetection system are shown on Figure 3.43.
Irak detection under all areas of the pad is accomplished by monitoring the presence of anysolution 0ow in a closed HDPE collector pipe which connects to a series of two- or three-inch-dianeter comrgated polyethyelene pipes resting on the subgrade (Figure 3.+t. Each pipe exits atthe side of the pad- The leak detection pipes are factory-miilsd with 0.66_inch-wide slots placed ontl0-foot centers. .d rninimsn slope of one perccnt is maintained on the leak detection pipes. Eachsix-inch HDPE collection pipc at the margin of the leach pads is joined to the non-perforated endof the leak detection pipe by a polyehtylene snap adapter. The other end of the non-perforatedleak detection pipe is joined by a pipe sleeve to its perforated equivalent that rests on thc leakdetection layer.
Leach Pad Liners
The secondary earth liner will be placed on top of the lea& detection system. This will be afine-grained clay soil borrowed from &e property near the leach pads. It will be spread in layersthat when compacted will be approximately 6 inches thid conditioned with water and compacted to95Vo of $e 6315fuarrm dry density as determined under ASTM-D698 (see Appendix E). Two layers willbe placed for a total compacted thiclness of 1 foot. The permeability of this compacted soil liner isexpected to be 1.0 x 10-7 cm/sec whicb combined with the design thickness, will assure that anyEeePage thtough the primary platic liner will be essentially stopped by the secondary liner. Thisliner will be erended to the perimeter berms as shown on Figures 3.4-3.
The clay for the secondary liner will be recovered from borrow pits on the Baroeys Canyon
Property. Three borrow souroes have been identified thus far and their locations are shown on
Plate III. Further pit development will depend on the resources available at each of the existr4g
sites. Clay pits 1 and 2 have been partially developed. The esent of current development and
esrirnated ultimals pit size is shorm on Plate Itr. Pits will be expanded or developed as demand for
liner materials arise.
The primary liner will immsdhlely be placed on top of the earth secondary liner. The primary
liner will be 60 mil HDPE installed according to the manufacturer's recomnendations (see Appendix F
for full specification). This material will cover all interior areas of the pads, as shown of Figures
3.42and3.{3.
Solution Collection
The final step in pad construction will be the installation of the crushed ore blanket, oroverliner, on top of the primary liner. Solution collection piping will be installed on each cell prior
to covering the liner with overliner. The piprag will consist of a tbree-inch-diameter comrgated"perforated polyethylene pipe spaced at zl&foot centers (Figure 3.+2). These pipes will connect toan eight-inch-dianeter polyethylene collection main which will run downslope to the discharge endof each cell. The blanket will be minus 3/4_inch cnrshed ore, produced at the plant crushingfacility, which will be trucked or conveyed to the pad and spread to a thickness of approximately 3feet. The overliner will function as a protective cushion separaring the primary plastic liner fromthe overlying ore. The crushed and agglsmssated ore will then be stacked on top of the cushion.
3.42 Solution Conveyanes
Lcach solutions drainiqg from the bottoms of the heaps will llow in pipes in the solutioncollection tre'nches along the margins of the pads to the low points of each cell where the solutionswill be routed into HDPE pregnant solution pipes. The pregmnt and barren solution pipes will havesecondary 5pn[ainmsal a lined ditch which flows toward the process solution ponds. pregnant
solutions entering the ponds will be routed through measuring flumes that will record the flow rates.
The collection trenches will be HDPE lined ditches from the pads to the solution ponds tocollEct any leaks of solutions from the pipes, as shown on Figure 3.zt-4. These collection trencheswill be separated from the general site drainage by their lateral berms and will be carried under all
70 REVISED 9.29-89
road crossings with culverts. Thc layout of the trenches will provide suitable grade (LVo rninimum)
so that any leakage will be conveyed in the trenc,hes back to the process solution ponds (Figure 3.+4).
The barren solution piping s'sten on the heaps will co'sist of a l2-inch HDPE pressure main oneach cell' a network of six-inch PVC branch lines, and a network of three-inch spray PVC linesspaced at 4&foot intenals. InitiallX the sprinklers will 6s igsnninger-Wobblers" spray heads. The$snninger-Wobbler sprinkler is highly resistant to corrosion which reduces the risk of plugging orstalliry. Since it has a single moving part, the Wobbler also resists wear.
The spray heads operate between 15 aad 25 ponds per square inch and provide a solutionappilcation rate of .0025 to .gg+ gallons per minuts per square foot of pad area. yelomine SDR-21PVC is enployed rrring spline connections. The piping s),stem will be inspected daily by the leaching
crew. The Wobblers require occasional un-blocki"g of orifices. The leaching crew will survey thespray pattern and note non-performing sprinklers. After shutting docm the fsgdlineE the sprinklerwill be unplugged or replaced. The sprinkler system will be restarted after maintenance iscompleted.
Solution punping will be accomplished with submersrble-type pumps in the solution ponds.Outside of the solution pro@ss building pumped solution pipes will be equipped with pressuresensors which will irnrnsdhtgty and automatically shut down the pump should there be a break in thepipeline.
3.43 SohrrionPords
The process solution ponds are HDPE-lined bacin( located at the lowest point in the processarea (Figure 3.41). The ponds will have a total capacity sufEcient to contain the followingvolumes:
The working inventory of lEach solution. This is the combined vol,rr'e of solutions in thepregnant and barren ponds. Normal volume will be 150,000 gallons in each pond (300,000gallons total).
The drainage of leach solution from the connected heaps during a Z hour shutdown of theleach pr'-ping system. The calculation assumes a 2Lhour draindown volurne enters the

ponds at the prevailing barren solution pumpng rate to the heaps. For cxample, at apumpiry rate of 2000 gpm, the calculated vol,mc would be 2"880,000 gallons.
The volume of runoff from the exposed, lined pad and trench areas that occurs during thelCI-n 24-hour precipitation event. Thrs is based upon 3.5 inches of rain. This runoff will
be a variable and will equal 218,200 gallons for each 100,000 square feet of bare plastic. .
The runoff from the leach pads. Due to the water storage capacrty of the heaps, it is655rrrns4l that runoff will occur only from areas under active leach. Runoff from the 100-year storm Q W inches sf irin) would providc 218,2N gallons for each 100,000 squarefeet under active leach.
The direct precipitation on the ponds during the 100-yr 2A-hour precipitation event. Thiswill equal 283,600 gallons based on 35 inches of rain falling on the 13),000 square footpond area.
A freeboard value of at least 2 feet above the level for volumes 1) througb 5) above.
The combined capacity of the barren and pregnant solution ponds is available for the draindown and51636 inflsws. The total capacity of the process solution ponds is 10,285p00 gallons.
The ponds will -have 3h:1v sideslopes and bottoms that are sloped to one low corner (Figure 3.a-6 and' 3'47). The bottoms of thc ponds will have a rectangular configuration and will be inclined at2'0Vo, then graded to one oorner where the pond leak detection collection sump will be placed(Figure 3.+7).
Ponds will first be excavated to approximate final grade. TWelve inches of secondary linermaterial material will then bc applied in nro 6inch compacted lifts (Figure 3.+6). Thepermeability, material t1pe, and placement techniques for this liner material will be identical tothose described for the leach pads in Section 3.4.1. A geote*ile followed by a drainage g:ldmaterial will then be placed on the secondary liner (Figure 3.+6). The primary liner of 60 DdlHDPE will then be placed on top of &e drainage grid and anchored in trenches along the margin ofthe ponds (Figure 3.+6).

The function of tbe drainage grd wilt be to capture any leeks 931 rrighl occur through ghs
prinary liner and allow leakage to be drained to the low point of the pond bottom for removal.
fhe bw point of the tcak detection s),stem will be equipped with a snall sump to collect the
socpage. pight-inch rlinmetff standpipes will be used to monitor the leak detection sumps forleakage (Fgure 3.+6). A probe inserted in the standpipe will detect any solution accumulated in
the leak detection sump. If confirmed that the solution is leakage from the ponds, the BWPC will
be notified as required in their construction permit.
35 lJach Solution Processing
Leach solutions will be processed in the process building. The buildingis location is shoum onPlate Itr. I-cach solution processing is depicted on the flow sheets shorvn on Figures 35-1 and 3-5-2).
35.1 CarbmAdsorption
Tbe carbon adsorption process is depicted on Figure 35-1. The leach solution from thepregDant solution ponds will be pumped to carbon columns, each filled with granulated" activatedcarbon, and locatcd in the process building. The gold-ganide complex will be adsorbed on thecarbon as the prepant solution passes through the columns. The solution coning from the carbonsslrrmns is the barren solution and will be refortified with solutions of NaOH and NaCN and recycledto the barren solution pond. The barren solution will then be pumped back to the heaps tocomplete the leach cycle. Fresh water as needed will be added to the barren ponds to make up forevaporative losses from the leach heap and the leach solution ponds.
When the gold content of the carbon is suf6cient for stripping the loaded carbon will go tothe carbon processing plant. The carbon will be pumped to an acid wash tank whcre the loadedcarbon will be treated with a 57o solution of hydrochtoric acid (HCl) to remove any minsla[ scaltbuild-up Ftgute 3.5-2). Acid soluble metals will also be washed from the carbon i1 this s1sp. Theacid wash solution will be neutralized in the acid wash tank by reaction with the natural carbonateminslxl5 on the carbon The metals that were dissolved from the carbon will therefore beprecipitated as hydroxide sludges within &s tnnk. This dilute sludge will be rinsed from the carbon,passed over a fine carbon screen, and pumped to the chemical waste sump. Fron the chemical wastesump, the sludge will be pr'-ped to the active barren pond where the sludge will bo mixed andpumped to the heap. If the acid is not adequately neutralized in the acid wash tank, washed carbon

352 Carbon Strbping
The washed carbon will be stripped of its gold with a solution of.lVo NaOH plus 0.12o NaCN atatmospheric pressnre and a temperature of 190h. The stripping will be conducted in 2 banks of 2closed, strip tanks, each bank connected in closed circuit with a strip solution tan\ strip solutionheater and electrowinning cell Figure 3.5-2. Approximately 40 GPM of strip solution will becirculated for 72 hours to strip each batch of carbon.
3-53EteCrwinning
Gold will be precipitated from the heated strip solutions onto steel wool cathodes in a procasscalled electrowindng (Ftgute 3S-Z).
35.4 CarbonRqencratim
Stripped carbon will be pumped from the carbon strip tenks back to the carbon gslurnns (F gute3S-2), Continued reuse of the carbon results in a degradation of its adsorption quality so thecarbon will be occasionally reactivated (F gure 35-3). The carbon will first be washed with waterto remove any cyanide and then reactivated in a 1,500,00GBTUIHR, propane-fired kjlo by heating toa temPerature of 1200oF in an oxygen deficient atmosphere. The reactivated carbon will then bequenched i161ank of water and pumped bac& to the carbon adsorption sslrrmns.
355 GoldRefining
The gold refining Process is depicted on Figure 3.5-3. Cathodes, consisting of steel wool withplated gold, will be removed from the electrowinning cclls about every third day. After being airdried, the cathodes will be placed in an electrically heated mercury retort to drive off any containedmercury' The mercury fumes will be drawn off by a vacuum pump into a condenser where theaercury will be collected for sale. The nacu,- pump will exhaust to the outside and will not havemercury c'arry-over. The cathodes will then be mixed with soda as\ silica and borax flux andmelted in an electric induction furnace to form a gold dore.

3.6 ArcillaryFacilities
Aocillary or support facilities for the Barneys Canyon Project will consirt of an analyticallaboratory, a truck shop and warehouse, erplosives storage, fuel storage facilities, parking areas, and3i lrlminisf;ation building. The locations of most of these facilities are shown on Plate III. Thetotal laboratory facility will include a sample preparation room with drying and cnrshing equipment,wet chemistry laboratory fire-assay laboratory, a metallurgical testi.g laboratory and an atomicadsorption analytical room. The truck shop will be used to service and maintain all mining
eqrripment. The warehouse will be used for storage of parts and equipment for the shop. The fuelstorage facilities will be sited as appropriate for efficient operations. Fuel spill control Eeasuresissluding safety berms will be installed at each fuel storage site. A Spill prevention Control andCountermeasures Plan (SPCC) has been prepared and implemented as required by Federal law. Theadministlstiea luilding will house offrces for management personnel. Parking lots for employees willbe located at the xdminis6sfiea [uilding. Parking for company-owned eqrripment and man-carryingrahicles will be provided adjacent to the truck shop, process luilrling 6sd sdninistration building.
3.7 WasteDftpcal
Waste materials generated by the activities at the Barneys Canyon Project will consist of minewaste rock, spent ore on the leach pads, and trash. Mine waste rock will be disposed in the wastedumps, as described in Section 3.2. Spent ore will be reclaimed in place. Trash will be hauled to anearby, permitted municipal laDdfill. Waste solutions from the labs and process buildings will behandled in the process s)4stem in accordance with BWPC permits.
3.8 ProductionscLeduls
Waste rock removal began in the Barneys Canyon pit in the first quarter of 1989 and in theMel-Co pit in late 1989. Nearly J milliea tons of ore and waste will fs minsd from Barnep Canyonin 1989 and about QJ rnilliql tons of waste will be pre-stripped frorn Mel-Co in 1989. Barneyscanyon and Mel-co pits will be mined concurrently in 19g9 and 1990, by which rime ths fust phaseof Mel-Co will be minsd 6ut. Barneys Canyon operations will continue, exclusively through 1991,l9{2, and 7ryB. Beginning in 1994, pre-stripping for the second phase of the Mel-Co pit willoourmerce and Barneys Canyon and Mel-Co pits will !e minsd concurrently thtough 1994, 1995, and1996.
80 REVISED 9-29.89
The Barneys Canyon ming will operate two 12-hour shifts per day,7 days per wee\ 52 weeksper year. Because of limitations imposed by severe weather conditions, Mel-Co operations may becurtailed during the worst winter montbs; however, if conditions pernit, mining will proceed Zhours per day and 52 weeks per yqr. tfte 665hing plant and pro@ss plant are scheduled tooperate Z hours per day and up to 365 days per year. The laboratory and tnrck shop will beoperated year-round in support ofboth ths mining and process operations.
39 TopsoilUanagenent
Available topsoil naterials at the Barneys Canyon mining site will be stripped with dozers andscrapers placed in storage piles on sites protected from excessive surface runoff. Plannecl topsoilstockpile sites are shown on Plate III. The topsoil portion of &e soil profile, gsnsisting, onaverage' of the upper 12 inches, will be salvaged. In areas underlain by Copperton soils no morethan ftg upper 12 inches of topsoil will be salvaged. The Soil Conservation Servicc has determinedthat these soils are less thap ideal for use as topsoil. Facility sites having Copperton soils includeall the leach pads, the solution pon&, process building; substation, lclminisftnties building, srushingand screening are4 the eastern 3.8 acres of the shop building area, and the eastern L6 aqe,s of theore stockpile area. All other facilities are covered with Harkers-Dry Creek associatioq Dry Creek-Copperton association or Bradwhaw-Agassiz association soils which the SCS recognizes as suitable foruse as topsoil. For these soil tlpes, borrow deptbs may exceed 12 inches to meet topsoil yslrrmsneeds, if necessary.
Recoverable soil vol'-es for eac.h @mponent of the project are s'mmarized in Table 3.9-1. Inthe event that areas currently identified for topsoil salvage are found during reoovery operations tolack the 12 inches of topsoil ne@ssary, the balance of the soil necessary to carry out the topsoilredistribution plan desoibed in Section 5.4 will !s meinlained by borrowing additional soils fromother areas having greater tha! 12 inches ofsoil.
In the Mel-Co atea, total available toposoil e:rceeds the anticipated topsoil demand forrecl'-ation by approximately 28,000 cubic yards, as described in Table 3.9-1 and section 5.4.Becaue of the steep terrain and resultant difEculties in removing andl trenRporing the materia!only a sufficient volumE of toposoil to accomplish the plar,r,ed reclamation worh will be recoveredand stockpiled from the pit and dunp sites.
81 REVISED 9-29-89
The topsoil recovery plan wil include nixing the e:risti.g vegetation into the soils which will
provide additional organic matter to the salvaged soils. The topsoil storage piles will be protected
from wind erosion and slope drainage by seeding with 6 lbs per acre of annual rye to protect the
surface with a quick growing vegetative cover. In additio4 Kennecott will apply the permanent
reclamation seed mix to those topsoil stockpiles or parts of topsoil stockpiles which will not receive
future contributions of topsoil. Stockpile surfaces that will receive additional topsoil as part of
ongoing mins gxpanslon will be vegetated with the interim seed mir

3.10 OrerbudcnDispoal
Salvaged topsoil will be stockpiled and managed in the manner described above in Section 3.9.
All other overburden will be hauled to the mine ch,mps shown on plate trI and dumped.
The dumps will be constructed with top surfaces sloprng gently back toward the natural hitlsidss
for the purpose of drainage control. Dudng rnining, the dump outslopes will have a slope nngls 6f
approximately 37 degrees. The waste will be spd-drrmped from the haul trucks and dozers will be
used to push the waste over the dump outslopes as Decessary. The geologl of the overburdEn is
described in Section 2.1. The chemical characteristics of the orrerburden material regardi'g the
potential for toxicity, are discussed below in Section 3.11.
Dump slope stability analyses have been performed by Sergent, Hauskins & Bechpith for the the
large Mel-Cs drrmp and the Barnep Canyon 6300 and 6JQQ rnine dumps. Analpes were performed in

The plarrngd drrmP configurations for this project, includi'g placement of the dump material at the
angle of rePose (37 dogrees) were used in the calculations. Stability analpes performed for the
proposed dumps resulted in the following r:rnges of factors of safety (F.S.) under static conditions:
Barnep Canyon Dumps
Mel-Co dump
A safety factor of 1.0 or nore indicates that a slope is stable; therefore, the Barneys Canyon and
Mel-Co dumps are predicted to be stable.
Sergent Hauskins and Beckwith also conducted dynamic stability analyses for the clt,-ps. These
calculations indicate that "...permanent defornations under horizontal accelerations of .2 to 3 g for

3.11 Evaluation of lvlafcrials Tuicity
In order to respond to the Division's rule regarding identification 6a61 [gndling of toxic
materials, analyses of waste rod ore, and leached ore were performed lsing ono or more analytical
techniques that are accepted means of determining toxicity of waste materials that are either
naturally occurring or have been disposed in the natural environment. Waste rock was analped for
total content of seleded metals, weak-acid-soluble metals @P toxicity test), and acid-base potential.
Raw ore was analped for total metals. Spent leach material Qeached ore) was analyznd for total
metals and EP toxic metals.

Runoff volumes and peak flows in and around the project area wEre calculated usi"g the SoilConservation Service (SCS) Curve frf'mles technigue, utilizing a conputer program developed byHawkins aad Marshall (1980). Precipitation depths for the 10-year, 2S-year and 100-year, 2ahourrainfall events were used in the calculations to determine the nrnoff peals and volumes for eachevenl The precipitation depths were obtained from the National Oceanic and AtmosphericAdministration Precipitation Frequency Atlas for Utah (LgR). The precipitation depths for theseevents were found to be 2.7 inches, 3.0 inchcs, and 3.7 incheg respectively. Runoff pcaks weregenerated usi4g the SCS $pe II rainfall distribution which is gpical for the westerD United States.
The curve numbers used in these calculations were based on local soil hydrologic characteristicsand vegetation tlpes. Soils were grouped according to infiltration c,haracteristics, hydrologic soilgroup A having &s highest infiltration rates and group D having the lowest infiltration rates.Thcre are two main f,ydlstogic soil groups in the project area. Soils of group C are found largelyin the valley alluvium and colluvium beneath tbe Barnep Canyon project area. Soils of hydrologicgroup B are predominantly found in the higher elevations. The vegetation gpes are largelysage/grass co--unig in the lower elevations and gambel oaks on the low elevation north faorgslopes and in tls highel elevations. Based on this and other information e[tainsd over one year ofwork at the site, the base curve numbers bave been revised to better re0ect actual runoffconditions at the project site.

Acurve number of g9 was used for calculating runoff yslrrmss and peaks fron the compacted wastedumps surfaces. A high curve number was intentionally selected to provide a conserrrative ssrimxteof runoff from waste dumps; the actual nrnoff would be cxpected to be less than that predicted.The assumptions used in these calcurations may be found in Table 3.12-1belo$,.

The drainage basins and watershed areas used in the runoff peak and volume calculations areoutlined on plate V. Calculations were made 's,i'g the undisnrbed watershed areas so that alldesign" would be consenrative once the facilities are built. All operational culvert and ditches bavebeen designed [6 [rancfsl runoff from the 10-year, 2ahour runoff event. The largest watershed tobe disturbed by the operation is Barneys Canyon with an area of 1430 acres. The Barneys Canyondrainage will remain targely unaffestsd by the operations with the exception of the Mel-Co pitaccess&aul road crossing. Four drainages will be sipificantly disturbed by the rnining operations.The Barneys Canyon pit, adjacent waste dumps, leach pads, and process facilities will occupy largesections of drainages P, Q, s, and T. pleinage area R will remain largely undisturbed by theoperations cxcept for a snall area to be occupied by the two northeastern-most leach pads. TheMel-Co pit and waste dumps will occupy a large portion of the right fork drainage of Dry Creek.
3J22 Operational Runotr Control
The operational runoff control plan" depicted on Plate m, has been designed to take advantageof the existing impoun'lment capacity created by the B&G railroad grade fill structures. The B&Grailroad grade nrns along the eastern perimeter of the project site. The fill structures throughdrainage crossings will impound all runoff &om the upland drainage basins ia4lu.ring Barneys Creek
y2 REVISED 9.29.89
(Plate III). Approximately 60 years ago when the railroad was constructd culverts were placed in
the stream channel at thE bottom of the railroad 6ll to allow runoff water to 0ow through this
s6lanlrmslt. Since that ti-e, these culwrts haw become partially or completely 6lled with
scdiments rendering them ineffective and carsing ths qaganlcment to act as an impounding structure.
In 1985, eacb impoundment was 6tted with a spillway culvert approximately !5 feet bclow the grade
elevation in each drainage to permit impounded water to drain through the impoundm:nt without the
likelihood of overflow. The spillway culverts were designed to pass the SGyear flood event or
larger and were placed high enough in the sp[ankrngsts to provide significant storege capacities
below the spillways. All spillway culverts arc A inches or greater in diameter to meet rninimal
design criteria by the Utah State Fngineu. These spillway culverts are in place and the calculated
capacity of each impoundment is based on the invert elevation of the these spillway culverts. Water
is not routinely impounded behind these structures. A diagram illustrating the placement of theseculverts may be found in Appendix D-I. The stage/capacity curves for all impoundmeng located inthe project area rnay be found in Appendix D-I. The nrnoff volunes from the watersheds upgradient
of these inpoundments were calculated using undisturbed acreages. Usi"g this technique, the nrnoffvolumes calculated should be in excess of the actual runoff volumes after all facilities areconstructed, because precipitation faling on active leach pads will be directed to the solution pondsand inactive, ore-covered pads will have substantial moisture retention capacity.
Most haul roads have been designed to allow water runoff from both road surfaces and theupgradient watersheds to Eove along or beneath them with minimal impacts from erosion (Plate m;.the 6ll material from the landbridge haul roads southeast of waste dumps 6400 and 6500 will createthree temporary i"'poundments which will latcr be filled with dump materials. Culverts will not beinstaled in the road fill matcrials that create these temporary impoundments. The roads wi[ besloped away from the road fill slope so all precipitation water falling on the road surface wil draintoward roadside ditches. Roadside ditchEs will run the length of the haul roads througb the projectarea and will be placed along the roadside cut slope to collect all runoff from the watershedsupgradient before the water floun onto the road surface. The roadside ditches will be triangular inshape and x rninirnrrm of 1.75 feet deep. The ditches will have a 2h:1v sideslope from the roadsurface and th:1v from the cut slope. These ditches will be placed at the sane gradient as theroad" Many of the haul roads will be excavated into the bedrock adding stability to these ditchesduring high nureff events. AII roadside ditches will drain to corrryated metal pipe culverts totransfer the water below the road and into impoundments or natural stream channels below (plate
m).
93 REVISED 9-29-89
Comrgated metal pipe culverts will divert runoff water beneath the road at selected 6sssings.These cuhrerts have been desiped to pass runoff from the lo-year, 2A-hour runoff event. Theculverts will be placed along the natural channel gradient [s minirni'c erosion. Desigp specificationsfor &ese culverts may be found in Appendix D-tr.
During operations, all waste drhps wi[ bo constructed so that the dump surface slopes fron thedump crest toward the natural hillside from which it projects to control nrnoff dowa the outslope ofthe dunp' Safety berms will be placed around the top perimeter of the waste du-ps as needed toprevent runoff flow &om 1tr" drrrnp crest dowo the dump face. ,Ite dpmps will thcn be sloped sothat runoff draiDs toward one @rner of the dump for removal to either a drainage shennet or to animpoundment.
Runoff from the snal drainage area upgradient of the Barnep Canyon pit waste rock dumps andfrom the adjacent waste rock dump surfaces will be diverted fu1e rmpoundment M located upgradientof the lower elevation haul road leading &om the Barneys Canyon pit to the waste dump (plate Itr).Runoff from the undisturbed watershed area upgradient of the haul roads will drain onto theuppermost haul road and will be diverted along a roadside ditch and thtough a culvert forcsafainrnsaf in Impoundment M. Runoff &om dump 6500 will also drain through a cu&,ert forcollection in Impoundmett M. In addition, runoff from the y6ste drrmp 6400, adjacent to theBarnep Canyon pit, will drain into rrnpouadment M. The 1fi)-year, 2ghour runoff volume from thethree waste dumps and the upper watershed witl be 103 acre-feet and will be easily containedsithin the 47 acre-feet capacity of Inpoundment M (Table 3:r.-z). Current Utah DoGM regulationsrequire that the impoundments Bust contain the lGyear, ?*howrunoffvorr,-e.
Before the waste dumps arc builg the haul road to the truck shop will create threcimpoundmeuts in the area to later be occupied by the waste dumps. The impoundment to beoccupied by dump 6400 will have a capacity in excess of 80 acre-feet and will only receive runoff&om the 15 acre sasin i1 which it occupies. This i'npoundment will not receirre runoff from beyondits perimeter. The other two impoundments, designated D'r-p 6500 A for the nefr impoundment tothe north and Dump 6500 B for the north impoundmenf will be used to contain runoff from thewatershed above until the waste dumps are completed. These impoundments are not shown on plateIrI' The capacity ef prrmp 6500 Impoundments A and B will contain the full runoff vol,,me from thelfl)-year, 2#hour runoff event from the upland drainage basins.

The leach pads will occupy portions of drainage areas P, Q, & and T (Plate m). Due to theclosed leachi'g system, any precipitation falling on the active leach pad surfaces will nrn throughthe pad solution drainage s)Etems before cssfainmss[ in the doumgradient pregnart solution ponds.The leach solution qatems will have the capacity to contain the l0Gyear, 24-hour runoff event &omactive pads in addition to the yslrrrne of water psed in the leaching process. The ponds have beendesiFed to overflow into one another before discharging thereby creating additional irnpoundnentcapacity above the lfl)-year, 24-hour runoff capacity desigD. Any solution pond overflow from thepo'ds will be contained behind the B&G grade railroad impoundment.
The retention capacity of each of the railroad grade impoundments was calculated fromtopqgraphic maps and knocn spillway culvert invert elevations. Based upon the elevation of spillwayculvert inverts, the capacity of each of these irnpoundments and the calculated runoff volumes forthe lGyear, ?S-year, and 100-year, 24-hour runoff evelts draining into these irnpoundments fromuplaad drainage basins are given in Table 3.12-2, As can be seen in Table 3.12-z,all impounrtmentson the proper$ will contain runoff &om the l0G.year, 24-hour events with the exccption ofImpoundments R and P. However, Impoundnent R will contain nrnoff from the calculated 25-year,2ahour runoff event and the capacity of Impoundment P falls 03 acre-feet short o1 sopgrining thecalculated 100-year, 24-hour nrnoff volume from the undisnrbed drainage basin.

The placement of the Mel-Co pit and mins dumps will impact the natural surface water dreinage
characteristics of a tributary watershed of Dry Fork Canyon (Plate m). Precipitation and
upgradient runoff in the pit wiU be contained wirhin the pit (Plate m;. Water will not drain from
the pit into the Dry Fork drainage. Mine dump 7100 will fill the upland drainage area of the Dry
Fork basin creating the Mel-Co impoundnent. This dump will be constructed by filt;ng the drainage
with waste rock across fts gfuannst so that some impoundment capacity will be lsnlized almost
immediately and the capacity will increase with time. 1a;5 impouodment will have the capacity to
coltain 35 acre-feet of runoff volume upon completion and will easily contain runoff from the 10G
year, 2Ahour storm event as Table ?.L2-2 demonstrates. The watersheds that will discharge water
into the Mel-Co impoundment include runoff from tbe drainages impacted by the lower elevatioo
Mel-Co haul roads and from the 23 acre uadisturbed &ainage basin to the wqst of the impound"'ent
and &om the Mine Dump 7100 surfacc. Any water released from the Mel-co impoundnent will be
contained doumstream in a much largcr impoundment that has been created by mine dumps placcd
across Dry Fork as part of Ksnnecott's Utah Copper operations.
The Mel-Co pit haul roads will carry runoff water along a series of roadside triangular ditchesto be routed around the rnine dumps before release into either the Mel-co impoundment or a snallchannel east of the waste dumps (Plate ltr). Comrgated metal pipe culverts will be placed in areaswhere drainage will cross the roads. The haul roads will be excavated into bedrock srsating stableroadside ditches. A triangular c,hannel has been designed to carry water from the eastern part ofthe Mel-Co mins drrrnp are4 including areas occupied by haul roads of Mine Dump 73(X), to an areasoutheast of the nine dumps for discharge into Dry Fork Creek. This channel will be constructed ata gradient of lVo or less along the geaerally undisturbed section sf csennel placement so inliltrationand evaporation will be maximized- This channel was desiped to maximize seepage 61d minimize

Much of tbe rock and alluvium exposeddtui4g rnining will increase the potential for serli-ent movement both on the site and to locationsoff site. To control this process, a number of sediment control features will be placed on site toinhibit tle movement of sediment. These structures include detentioa lasins to contain sediment,
diversion channels to divert the flow of water around areas having 3 high potential for sedimentmovement, and silt fences placed below potentially erosive areas to control gsdi'nsat movement into
96 REVISED 9-29-89
nearby sfuanngl5. Hay bales will be placed in areas recognized as having excessive sedimentmovement dndng operation for additional control of erosion.
ffis dssilting pond" located imrnsdialsly west of the solutions ponds, is designed to contain stormrunoff from the l(X)-year, 2Ahoru event in the upland watershed. This desigD is based on BWpCapproved criteria. The discharge from the pipe spillway serving the sedimEnt control inpoundment iscollected in a bifurcated pipe that is counected to a 3Ginch dianreter CMP storm drain. This pipeblpasses the solution pond area aad dischargas into an existi4g 4S-inch diameter culvert whichpasses under the B&G grade east of the solution ponds. This storm drain will pass the flow from al(X)-year, 6hour precipitation eveut. The najority of the runoff from the small &ainage areasurrounding the solution ponds themselves is collected in a concrete sump just west of the pondsand is plrnped into &s dssilring basin.
The abaadoned B&G grade railroad embankmcn! located along the eastern edge of project site,creates a number of impoundments which will bc used to eliminate sediment release fron the site.These wilt atso be used as cmergency 6ppfainmsaf for solution pond owrflow (plateuD' The designed SG'year event capacity emergency culvertg described above, provide the onlydischarge Points from the impoundments. These sedinent storage lacinr will be maintained asneeded by periodic remoral of the collected ss.ti'nsnts to maintain the existing capacities of theimpoundments. Stage capacity curves (Appendix D-I) for each of thase inpoundments have beenproduced to veri$ that the impoundnents have adequate capacities to contain the lo-year, 2A-hourrunoff volt""es from the upstream dvainage are6. Sincc rhis railroad grade cuts across all of thedrainages donmgradient of the project site, any s,sdimsnl not contained by upstream sediment controlstructures such as silt fences or hay bales would ultimately be contained within lgsss impoudments.
TVo forms of sediment control will be implemented to controt sediment nrnoff from the wastedumps, the largest potential souroes of scdiment on the property (plate III). Waste dump surfaceswill be sloped away fron the d"-p margins. gerlimsat barriers wi[ be placed dowagradient of thetoe of the dumps where needed to provide protection against sediment movement from these drrrnps.Any serliment not contained by tbese forms of sediment control will be deposited either in thecpbemeral shannsls or behind the impoundments. Natural vegetation in areas undisturbed byopcrations will also retard sedimeat movenent dounward.
The Mel-Co Pit and waste dumps are situated near the ridge of the Dry Fork drainage basin
Ghte m). t[g mining disturbances that could potentially increase sedimentation rates include haul

roads and wastes drrrnPS. $s.limgnt will be controlled by usi'g ssdimgnt barriers and the Mel-CoirnPoundnent [9 rnininriz€ sediment movenent from the site. All uncontrolled sediment will becontained by the dowqgradient waste dump impoundment operated by Kennecott's Utah Coppe,Division.
The haul roads connecti4g the waste dumps to the Mel-Co Pit will be slopcd such that runofffrom the road surface and the uphill watershed area will nrn along a series of connecting roadsideditches bcfore being spilled into Dry Fork below. The ditches wiu be crcavated into bedrocktberefore, the erosive forces of gully erosion during ditch runoff pitt !s srnatt. The roadside fillslopes ofrer the greatest potential for erosion as these slopes wi[ be nuch steepcr rhrn 1trs hiilsidson which they lie. Sediment from these slopes will be caried alo4g the roadside ditches to bedeposited behind silt fences or the Mel-Co impoundment. These structures will be placed in thelower elevation of the Dry Fork channst @ate ltr). The natural vegetation in the area will alsoretain some sedi'nent as it moves from the disturbed areas.
Othcr operational sources of scdimeat would be from the fill slopes created by the haul roads,leach pads, and process areas. This sediment will move down into the drainage channels and willeventually be carried to the railroad impoundments where sediment build-up will be monitored andcleaned out when neoessary.
The potential impacts to Barneys Creek &om the proposed rnining facility will be caused mainlyfrom haul roads and the Barnep C;anyon pit (Plate III). The largest potential inpacts to BarneysCreek will be from the erosion of haul road fill material during construction increasing sedimentationrates into the stream channel. This impact should be of short time frame. g1tr"1 impacts toBaruep Creek could occur &om haul road placenent across the stream channel potentially causiagdegradation or aggradation of the streanr cfuanngt upgradient and downgradient of the crossing. Anyadditional sediment loads cntering the stream chennel will be impounded bchind the railroadimpoundment downstream and wilt not leave Kcnnecott property. Due to tbe location of thisimpoundmeDt' wNter quality stream flow monitoring is not planned. There will be no impact onBarneys Creek &om Barnep Canyon open pit due because the pit itself will prevent any dischargefrom occurring.
Topsoil stockpiles will atso be potentiat sources of sediment release (plate Itr). The topsoilstockpiles will be located on the ridge+ops away fron &e stream channels [s minimioe topsoildischarge into the channel. To prevent the topsoil from washing away during heavy rainfall events,
REVISED 9-D-89
silt fences wiil be Placed in areas around the stockpiles where the potential for erosion is high.These structures will be periodically checked and maintained when needed.
The Mel-Co mins dumps will be located just downgradient of the ridge and cxtend nearly to thebase of the slope (Plate ltr;. The a"gle of repose of these durnps will be steep so the potential forerosion i5 signifigant. Any s,E.limsat originating from these dump faces will be carried directlydowngradient to be deposited behind the sediment barriers located in the drainage area below. Anysediment origbating in the rni"e pit will also be deposited behind thcse sediment barriers.
