Mr. Hamarat <br />January 24, 2014 <br />Page 2 <br />precipitation (PMP) event. The available flood storage capacity in the system at the time of <br />the survey significantly exceeds the storage requirement. However, this excess capacity will <br />decrease throughout the coming year as additional inflows to the system occur and a portion <br />of the storage space is filled with deposited tailing. <br />A relatively accurate determination of the flood storage capacity in the impoundment can be <br />made at the time of the surveys in May and October. An operations model has been <br />developed to estimate the flood storage availability in the system between surveys and is <br />updated by Henderson personnel on a monthly basis. One of the reports generated by this <br />model is the attached TSF Report (Table 3). This report shows the flood storage conditions <br />in the system on a monthly basis throughout the period from October 2012 to October 2013. <br />The last column of this table verifies that at least 3,582 acre -feet of storage capacity was <br />available throughout the period. The attached Figure 5A graphically shows the actual water <br />level in the TSF as compared to the "Hi -Hi" level in the pond, which is defined as the level <br />corresponding to 3,582 acre -feet of available capacity. Note that the actual water level did <br />not exceed the Hi -Hi level at any time in 2013. <br />If you have any questions regarding the enclosed information, or if you require additional <br />information, please call. <br />Sincerely, <br />W.
