Power Plant Discharge Structure, Delta Stabilization Dike, and On-Land Taconite Tailings Disposal, Reserve Mining Company, Silver Bay, Lake County, Minnesota.

Abstract

Reserve Mining Company proposes to install a heated water discharge structure in Lake Superior. This structure would enable Reserve's Lakeside Power Plant to discharge approximately 106,000 gpm of delta T12 degrees F cooling water into Lake Superior. The delta stabilization dike would be an attempt to stabilize the tailings delta at Silver Bay and prevent the further release of fibers into Lake Superior. Reserve proposes to modify its existing taconite operation to convert from in-lake to on-land disposal of taconite tailings.
