September 18, 2014 C- 1981- 008/New Horizon Mine MPB <br />Pit water is being pumped to Pond 011 (see attached Photograph No. 1). Photograph No. 2 shows Pond 011 and <br />surrounding Morgan property in the background. <br />The spoil spring located southeast of Pond 013 was inspected. Water seeps out along the toe of an embankment <br />and the spring has been excavated and exposed (see Photograph No. 3). WFC has begun construction of the <br />Trench Drain system approved in March 2014 with TR -63 to intercept and convey the mine spoil water (see <br />Photograph No. 4). On August 19, 2014 the Division received TR -64 which proposes to change the type of <br />connection to be used at the trench drain nexus and to revise the outlet location so that the trench drain will <br />discharge into the Pond 013 flume rather than into Pond 013. This proposed change with TR -64 is still under <br />review by the Division. <br />ROADS — Rule 4.03 <br />Construction 4.03.1(3)/4.03.2(3) <br />Drainage 4.03.1(4)/4.03.2(4) <br />Surfacing and Maintenance4.03.1(5) and (6)/4.03.2(5) and (6) <br />Reclamation 4.03.1(7)/4.03.2(7): <br />Haul roads and access roads were in good condition throughout the site.
