<\/span>What you do is you take the FFT out of the pond and you mix the flocculant with the fluid fine tailings.<span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp; <\/span>For rim ditching, you pour a huge pit full of this material.<span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp;

<\/span>And then once this crust forms ,you go and you dig a ditch around the perimeter around the deposit<span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/span>Then any other water that comes out of the deposit flows to the ditch and flows out.<span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp;
