Brushy Fork Sludge Impoundment
Summer Solstice Sludge Tour (page 3)
Area of the pond where water is decanted off the top, with booms to
assist in blocking suspended materials or floating oils from the water
that is to be returned to the prep plant for reuse.
No coarse rock is supposed to be added to the slurry pond, as fine
grains are supposed to settle uniformly to the bottom
Large truck dumping waste rock directly into the slurry pond, with
larger and heavier rocks quickly scurrying down the slope to join the
slurry in the sludge graveyard (see the trail of dust).
One branch of the slurry lake. No vegetation is supposed to be included in the slurry pond, as it
could later decompose and leave voids which could differentially
settle and cause instability. Later the waste rock dam itself
will be moved upstream over this area.
