Additionally, the main portal being excavated consists of a railway with piping <br /> and timber constructed underneath the tracks. This piping and timber construction <br /> appears to function as a method for draining water from deeper in the workings. We did <br /> not encounter any sign of water or moisture in this piping or timber. This is a reasonable <br /> indication that water runoff or seepage is not occurring in this location and will not be an <br /> issue. <br /> The most likely incident involving water will be a slight indication of moisture as material is <br /> excavated from the portal. This will most likely manifest as damp or wet soil, timbers, and other <br /> material. <br /> Our actions in the event that water or signs of water are observed: <br /> • Cease excavation efforts. <br /> • Replace the material that was most recently removed to stop the source of leakage. <br /> • Immediately advise Martha A. Williamson, District Ranger of the National Forest Service <br /> and Lucas West of the Colorado DRMS to seek their input and guidance. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Tate eft <br /> Gold Rush xpeditions, Inc. ° <br /> 385-218-2138 <br /> CC: <br /> Corey Shuman (GRE, Executive Contact) <br /> Jessica Shuman (GRE, Executive Contact) <br /> Gold Rush Expeditions,Inc.® <br /> 385-218-2138 1 goldrush@goldrushexpeditions.com -331 Rio Grande Street,Suite 201,Salt LakeCity,Utah84101 <br />
