Newmont Mining Corporation ■ <br /> Cripple Creek&Victor Gold Mine ■ <br /> Squaw Gulch VLF CQA <br /> NewFields Job No.475.0106.006 <br /> Week Ending Saturday,April 9,2016 <br /> 2.0 GEOSYNTHETICS <br /> 2.1 Geogrid <br /> Approximately 2785 square feet of geogrid was placed as the third layer of "step 1" at <br /> UG#6617. Approximately 10,415 square feet of geogrid (total) was placed for the three layers <br /> of "step 2" at UG#6617. Two more steps will be placed before the working is considered <br /> remediated. <br /> 3.0 STORM WATER MANAGEMENT <br /> Best Management Practices continued to be performed. <br /> 4.0 NEWFIELDS LABORATORY ACTIVITIES <br /> NewFields personnel performed sieve analysis, atterberg limits, and compaction testing. Two <br /> samples of Soil Liner Fill (NFSLF-10-C and NFSLF-11-C) were collected from the processing plant, <br /> and one sample of Select Structural Fill (NFSSF-1-R) was collected from UG#6617. <br /> 5.0 MEETINGS AND COMMUNICATIONS <br /> NewFields personnel attended the weekly Contractor Planning Meeting (April 5, 2016), Ames <br /> daily safety meetings, and NewFields daily safety meetings. <br /> 6.0 MISCELLANEOUS, ISSUES AND CONCERNS <br /> The DCF that was previously placed between the edge of liner and adjacent slope along the <br /> south perimeter road had experienced minor erosion. The runoff from the south perimeter <br /> road drained down to the 9550-foot bench, where it had crossed onto the lined pad and <br /> washed out the DCF below the barren line on the slope.The washout exposed the liner beneath <br /> the barren line for the entire length of the slope. NewFields personnel inspected the liner and <br /> found no damage due to the washout. A memo regarding a remediation plan was provided to <br /> CC&V.The edge of liner and existing utilities were located by survey prior to repairing the area. <br /> Ames utilized an excavator to repair the DCF that had eroded along the south perimeter road. <br /> The excavator filled in the eroded trenches and sloped the DCF away from the pad, toward the <br /> adjacent slope. Ames then utilized an excavator and three laborers to repair the DCF that had <br /> eroded beneath the barren line. The excavator used material that had sloughed to the bottom <br /> of the slope to fill in the washout. The laborers helped spread the material that was placed by <br /> the excavator. A NewFields representative monitored and documented the repair activities. <br /> Jay Moore was on site to inspect the conditions of the Phase I diversion channel and pond, so <br /> that any current issues could be considered in the Phase II Deferral Stormwater Control Plan. <br /> Page 4 <br />
