This written notification is follow-up to the verbal <br /> notification that was made to you via voicemail on August 28, 2020. <br /> MNGW-1 was sampled during a normally scheduled monitoring event on July 21, 2020, with a pH value of <br /> 6.2 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 August 20, <br /> 2020, resulting in a pH of 6.0 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 720-942-3420. <br /> Since ly, <br /> Aar�n Hilshorst <br /> Chief Environmental Engineer <br /> Climax Molybdenum Company <br /> Henderson Operations <br /> cc(via email): <br /> M.
