Monitoring and analyses that are necessary to evaluate the situation and corrective actions <br /> While the water used in the wet scrubber is fresh water, through an abundance of caution, samples were <br /> collected and sent to the lab for analyses of constituents of concern. <br /> e. Results of the Operator's investieation <br /> The root cause of the release was an oversight in starting the blast furnace at AGADR. Maintenance was <br /> performed on the sump pumps in the refinery earlier in the week and the pumps were left in the off <br /> position. Refinery personnel started the blast furnace and left the refinery. When refinery personnel <br /> returned, they noticed the release and immediately turned on the sump pumps. Additional training will be <br /> provided to ensure the sump pumps are left on auto. <br /> Should you require further information please do not hesitate to contact Tyler O'Donnell at 719.689.4056 or <br /> Tyler.O'DonnelI Laiiewmoiit.com or myself at 719.689.4055 or McU.Bull(cI>newmont.com. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> U <br /> Meg urt <br /> Senior Environmental Manager <br /> Cripple Creek and Victor Gold Mine <br /> MB/tvo <br /> ec: Tim Cazier—DRMS <br /> Wally Erickson—DRMS <br /> 2 <br />
