A series of storage ponds are required to manage the heap leach solution associated with the heap leach process; these include : pregnant solution pond; barren solution pond; [and] event pond. The pregnant and barren ponds are lined storage ponds for the solutions that will be used throughout the heap leach process. The event pond will be used to collect overflow from the heap leach pad during precipitation events. These ponds are sized to handle the 100-year rain event for 24 hours. These ponds will be lined to reduce the potential environmental impacts, and measures will be implemented to prevent access by wildlife. 3, record 1, English, - storm%20event%20pond

Settling ponds may sometimes be referred to as polishing ponds, but they are not synonymous. A polishing pond is any pond in the treatment train that follows the facultative pond. A settling pond is usually placed at the beginning of the treatment series, but may also be a pond at the end of the system. 5, record 2, English, - polishing%20pond

Secondary effluent is pumped from the SRWRF to a splitter box, which distributes the flow to six parallel ponds. Effluent from Ponds B, C, D, E and F flows to a collector channel and then to terminal collector Pond I. The sixth parallel pond(AG) discharges in series to Pond H, which in turn discharges to Pond I. All wetland effluent is then pumped to an on-site DIW for disposal during the first year of operational monitoring. Pending FDEP approval, the treated wetland effluent will be discharged to the adjacent L-30 Canal for surficial aquifer recharge. 1, record 4, English, - parallel%20pond

Les systèmes de traitement par aquaculture sont généralement conçus de la même façon que les systèmes d'étangs conventionnels sauf que différentes espèces de plantes et d'organismes aquatiques y sont présentes. Un ou plusieurs bassins (étangs ou canaux) peu profonds (0,4 à 1,8 m) sont aménagés afin d'assurer un temps de rétention variant de 4 à 36 jours selon les besoins et les conditions. 2, record 6, French, - bassin
