This written notification is follow-up to the verbal <br /> notification that was made to you via voicemail on July 31 st, 2019. <br /> MNGW-1 was sampled during a normally scheduled monitoring event on July 1st, 2019, with a pH value of <br /> 6.1 standard units (s.u.). This exceeded the numeric protection limit (NPL) of 6.5-8.5. As required by the <br /> Groundwater Management plan, a follow-up pH measurement was taken within 30 days on July 30th, 2019, <br /> resulting in a pH of 5.6 s.u. <br /> These results do not appear to be anomalous or obvious outliers. If you have any additional questions or <br /> concerns, please feel free to contact me at 720-942-3384. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Alex Ungers <br /> Environmental Scientist <br /> Climax Molybdenum Company <br /> Henderson Operation <br /> cc (via email): <br /> M.
