• Approximately 4 cubic yards of slurry and soil were excavated with a front end loader and dumped <br /> back into the float concentrate thickener secondary containment, the slurry and soil were washed into <br /> the sump, thus being pumped back into the mill circuit. <br /> • The over-excavated area was filled in with clean fill and gravel (see photo 4). <br /> b. Any known or adverse impacts to human health,property or the environment <br /> No impacts to human health or the environment were observed or are expected to occur due to the swift <br /> clean up. <br /> c.

Monitoring and analyses that are necessary to evaluate the situation and corrective actions <br /> Sampling is not necessary because the chemical composition of the slurry is well known, furthermore due <br /> to the thick nature and color of the slurry CC&V can ensure that all of the slurry was removed. <br /> e. Results of the Operator's investigation <br /> The root cause of the spill was a failure of the 34A pump housing and the partially open service doors. If <br /> the doors were closed the slurry spray from the pump would have remained within secondary <br /> containment. Increased training will be rolled out to the appropriate personal about keeping the doors <br /> closed. <br /> Should you require further information please do not hesitate to contact Tyler O'Donnell at 719.689.4056 or <br /> `II ler.O'Donnell conewtuotit.cotn or myself at 719.689.4055 or Meg.Burt(a?newmont.com. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Meg Burt <br /> Senior Environmental Manager <br /> Cripple Creek and Victor Gold Mine <br /> MB/tvo <br /> ec: Tim Cazier—DRMS <br /> Wally Erickson-DRMS <br /> File <br />
