4 CALCULATION BASIS

4.1 Population

The population to be considered for the domestic, potable water and sewage
systems is defined in the Technical Bases 400-BT-C-002 with Contract CC-016;
and for the Non Process Buildings, the Technical Bases 400-BT-C-003 and
Contract CC-017.

For other facilities such as the Administration Buildings, design is defined in the
Construction Contract CC-025; Truck Shop Building per Technical Bases 140-
BT-C-001 and Contract CC-018.

For others, refer to 000-GD-A-002, Criterio de Diseño de Arquitectura. This

document determines the quantity of bedrooms and number of inhabitants for
Project Toromocho. It also takes into account that this is a mining installation
that operates in shifts.

4.2 Endowment

The values of the service endowments are based from previous project of similar
facilities and are used to size the storage tanks for each facility.

The values to be use are shown below:

Table 1 – Endowment Flow Rate

Area Liters per person-day
Construction Camp 100
Operation Camp 200
Concentrator 100
Truck Shop, incl. Admin Bldg 100

 Supply endowment = see above.

 Total consumption endowment = Supply endowment

For the design of piping network, the probable maximum instantaneous flow shall
be used based on installed fixture units.

4.3 Average Flow

Local Peruvian Standards defines average flows as follows:

Potable Water Flow, Qmp = (Population x Endowment)/86,400 in L/s

Domestic Water Flow, Qmd = (Population x Endowment)/86,400 in L/s

Sewage Water Flow, Qms = Qm x Recovery Coefficient.

For the Toromocho Project, a recovery coefficient equal to 1.0 will be used, that
is to say, all the potable water will pass through the sewage system network.

5 DOMESTIC AND POTABLE WATER SYSTEM DESIGN CRITERIA

5.1 General Criteria

Fresh water is filtered, chlorinated as required and stored in a tank for non-
potable water usage. Water is drawn from this tank and treated in a packaged
water treatment plant to potable water quality, stored in a tank and distributed to
the pipe network.

Each area facility will have its own fresh or potable water storage tank.
Depending on the available terrain, water may be pumped or gravity flow from a
higher elevation to distribution lines.

The stored domestic or potable water shall be 1½ times the average daily
consumption to account for interrupted services from the supply feeding the
storage tank.

Bottled drinking water will be delivered to the Primary Crusher and the Paste
Thickening Plant.

Concentrator area will have a separate fresh and potable storage tanks. These
tanks will also supply the Hydromet plant.

5.2 Fresh and Potable Water Supply

The quality of the water for human consumption shall meet the requirement
stipulated in the State and/or Local Peruvian Standards whichever is most
stringent.

Storage and supply rate shall be based on the number of personnel in each area.

The Potable water quantity shall be defined by the average flow stated in Section
4.3 of this document.

Access to the water storage area will be restricted to prevent any risk to
contamination through vandalism or other such intent. Fencing with locks is
required for all of the potable water supply tanks.

5.3 Tank Volume

Domestic water and potable water systems shall have separate storage tanks.

Operation Facilities Tank Volume

Operation facilities are defined as those in the Truck Shop (incl. Admin Bldg) and
the Concentrator areas

For the calculation of the tank volume, the following shall be considered:

Regulation Volume =1/2 day of average consumption calculated according to

the approach indicated in Section 4.3.

Reserve Volume = Average consumption per day.

Total volume = Regulation + Reserve

For water usage, consider the number of personnel on rotation in each area and
the endowment listed in Table 1 above.

Construction Camp Tank Volume

The water volume will be calculated on a basis of one construction daily shift.

For storage volume, use the population indicated in the Technical Bases of the
Construction Camp, Document Nº 400-BT-C-002, based on each person using
100 liters per person in 1.5 hours in the morning. This volume will be used as the
Total Probable Maximum Flow to the Construction Campsite.

Tank Characteristic

The storage tanks shall be steel carbon, designed and built according to API 650,
with Epóxy-Amine internal coating approved for potable water service. External
painting shall be per Document No. 000-GC-S-012, Painting and Protective
Coating, System P2.

For Tank dimensions, include the volume below the pipe nozzle discharge invert
elevation and the volume above the overflow pipe.

The tank shall have a vent and drain with valve connections and level
indicator/transmitter.

5.4 Domestic and Potable Water Distribution Network

The materials of construction for piping shall be approved for potable water
service and shall be according to Peruvian Norma OS.050. High density
polyethylene (HDPE) approved for potable service may be used.

The network shall be provided with isolation valves to isolate parts of the system
for maintenance where necessary.

Design Criteria 000-GD-P-206
Potable and Sewage Water Systems
Rev. 0

The network shall be provided with valves for draining or purging to facilitate
cleaning prior to commissioning for service.

Network Design

For distribution external to the buildings, the design flows will be determined
according to the criteria stated in Section 5.5.

a) Water piping between the tank and the delivery point to the network

Piping system design shall be designed for the temporary construction

camp and the permanent operation camp to optimize the network system

b) Operations facility network.

Piping system shall be designed based on the personnel on rotation and

the number of fixture units installed at each facility.

Network Design Pressure

For Domestic or Potable Water Service, the pressures are:

-Maximum pressure in the net = 40 m w.c. (~390 kPag)

-Minimum pressure in the net, for Qmax= 15 m w.c. (~145 kPag)

Hydraulic Design

The network will be designed in accordance with requirements in Section 5.1.

Piping

First preference is for piping to be routed above ground on sleepers and covered
with dirt to prevent exposure to the elements or direct sunlight as long as it does
not interfere with normal access or traffic. Another option is direct burial and
coated-and-wrapped for carbon steel.

Strategically located valves in the distribution nets will be used for isolation, in the
event maintenance is needed in some portions of the network. Isolation valves
shall not be more than 2000 m apart along the length of the pipeline. Drain
connections shall be located at low points and adjacent to isolation valves.

5.5 INTERIOR FACILITIES

Interior Facilities Flows

The design flows for the sanitary devices installed in each building shall be with
the Local Peruvian Regulations. This information is provided in Architecture
drawings and corresponding specifications: Technical Basis 400-BT-P-002 for
the construction and operation camp; Technical Basis 400-BT-C-003 for the non
process buildings, and 140-BT-C-001 for the buildings corresponding to the
Trucks Shop.

Also, in the flows definition, the prospective Coefficient of Simultaneity will be

considered for each building and the maximum probable flow, Qmp, of installed
fixture units, obtained for the Regulation:

Qmp = 1.7391 X Qr0.6891, in L/min

Where Qr is the rated total flow rate of fixture units installed

The Coefficient of Simultaneity will be proposed in the facilities for the project and
the operation characteristics for shifts (work rotation) for the Project Toromocho.

Other Flows

For emergency eyewash (15 L/min) and combination eyewash and shower (76
L/min), consider one set each (91 L/min) for the Truck Shop Concentrator and
the Hydromet areas. This flow rate must be added to the maximum probable
flow, Qmp.

Fire water flow rate is specified in Fire Protection Design Criteria, 000-GD-P-106.

Minimum Interior Pressures

The minimum residual pressure (adjusted for elevation) at the farthest user shall
not be lower than 15 m c.w. (145 kPag).

The testing of the facilities shall be in accordance with the local Peruvian Norms
and Regulations.

Where, P = Population served

D = Consumption endowment, liters/person-day
R = Recovery coefficient, use 1
Average hourly maximum flow, Qhm = M x Qad, in L/s

For P<100 people use the data on Boston Civil Engineering Society (BSCE),
Annex A

For P from 100 to 1000 people, a value shall be interpolated between BCES
Annex A for 100 people and the maximum flow (Qhm =M * Qad) corresponding
to 1,000 people.

Collector Net Sizing

Cumulative Population of the Tract

The cumulative population and location of each building shall be taken into
account when routing the collector network.

Minimum Slope

The minimum design slopes are given in the local Peruvian Norm.

The pipes shall be routed with downward slope. The minimum slope in the first
100 m from the highest point shall be 2% and 1% on succeeding 100-m run if
there are no contributors from other collectors.

For other segments, size and slope will be determined for a self-draining sewer
line shown in Table 1.

Network Collectors Calculation

For the sizing of the collectors, use Manning formula:

Q x n =A x R2/3
S0.5

Where n = 0.013 roughness coefficient served waters,

A = cross-sectional flow area of pipe, m2
R = hydraulic radius, m
= A / wetted perimeter
= ID/4 for full flow
S = Slope

The calculation will be based on full pipe depth of flow = pipe ID or H=D and
velocity = 0.6 m/s for both the Operations and Construction areas.

The minimum nominal diameter of the collectors shall be of 200 mm NPS.
