data is provided in Appendix 5. EFRI will continue to include the Rajah Spring in future annual <br />seeps and springs surveys. <br />The estimated flow rate and measured field parameters are included in Appendix 1, Attachment <br />8 of this report, and the analytical data is summarized in Appendix 2, Table 5. <br />Waste Rock <br />No ore was mined and no waste rock was produced in the first quarter 2016. The Mine is <br />currently in temporary cessation status with only maintenance and monitoring activities being <br />conducted. EFRI has suspended the quarterly waste rock sample collection until such time that <br />mining operations resume and waste rock removal from the Mine recommences. <br />Production rates of ore and waste rock are summarized in Appendix 1, Attachments 9 and 10, <br />respectively. Analytical data from previously collected waste rock samples are summarized in <br />Appendix 2, Table 6. <br />Sediment Pond <br />The sediment pond has been monitored since its construction in November 2008 in accordance <br />with the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety stipulations. Although storm <br />events and significant snow melt events have occurred, none have resulted in stormwater <br />discharge from the pond. As a result, no stormwater samples have been collected from the pond <br />to date. EFRI will continue to monitor the sediment pond for discharge and will collect samples <br />in the event that a discharge is observed. <br />Dolores River <br />In accordance with BLM stipulations to the Mine permit, the Dolores River is required to be <br />monitored for selenium upstream and downstream from the confluence of Lumsden Creek when <br />all of the following conditions are met: <br />1) The Mine treatment plant is discharging treated water, <br />2) There is continuous flow from the middle tributary of Lumsden Creek to the Dolores <br />River, and <br />3) Selenium levels have been in exceedance of the CDPS permit effluent limits in the past <br />two years. <br />Because water treatment of mine water has been suspended, it was unnecessary to monitor <br />Lumsden Creek for discharge to the Dolores River in the first quarter of 2016. EFRI will <br />commence monitoring the Dolores River for discharge from Lumsden Creek and take samples, <br />as necessary, at such time that treatment and discharge of mine water resumes. <br />3 <br />
