t <br /> Comment 7: The Division is concerned that the drainage from the unlined haul road reports <br /> to the unlined drainage channel on the north side of the haul road, which reports to the <br /> unlined Phase I Sediment Pond(EMP 008c). If spills were to occur on the haul road during a <br /> precipitation event these structures could be impacted. Pursuant to Rule 6.4.21(7)(d) and <br /> Rule 6.4.21(7) (e),please propose a water and soil sampling plan for this drainage channel <br /> and pond to ensure there is an extremely low environmental risk of hauling on an unlined <br /> haul road. <br /> Response 7: In the event of spillage, sampling will be undertaken of both soil and <br /> water to confirm the effectivess of remediation efforts. <br /> In addition to known event sampling,Newmont will test quarterly for cyanide using <br /> a surface water method in the Phase I Sediment Pond and for cyanide in soil using a <br /> meteoric water mobility test. Soil testing will occur in the drainage channel <br /> approximately 100 feet east of the Phase I Sediment Pond. <br /> Newmont will notify DRMS if results of the analyses are above the threshold of 0.2 <br /> mg/1 CNWed as identified in Newmont's current operating permit. <br /> I believe the responses above address the concerns conveyed to us within your adequacy review <br /> comments.
