ORIGINAL -PUBLIC FILE <br />(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: nn-t eRn_~ee <br />INSPECTION DATE: 4~28/n5 INSPECTOROS INITIALS: -S~ <br />OBSERVATION <br />The Division conducted a bi monthly monitoring inspection of the site on <br />4/28/05. Inspected the old Ajax mine area, CC&V wanted to know if all the <br />inert material around this old underground mine area can be buried on site <br />to clean up the area. The Division agreed all inert material noted during <br />the inspection, can be covered up with overburden on site, to clean up the <br />area. <br />Inspected the Main Cresson area, it was not active at the time of <br />inspection. Pit slopes stable. In anticipation of the drilling activity, <br />the West Cresson Expansion area was under going drill pad preparation. <br />Inspected the Squaw Gulch overburden area. CC&V plans to replace the lower <br />Storm water control ponds, with a larger pond (approximately 7 acre feet) <br />to handle the two 25 year 24 hour events, in anticipation of the overburden <br />storage area encroaching on the existing ponds. The design and capacity of <br />the ponds, was approved in Amendment # 8, by the MLRD BOARD. The storm <br />water management plan for the entire facility is also approved by the <br />CDOH&E, FOR EACH DRAINAGE AREA ON SITE. Drove onto the pad and inspected <br />Phase II and III pads. No ponded water noted. A D6 was working the pad for <br />increased infiltration at the time of the inspection. <br />Inspected the phase I, II, III AND IV leach pad areas and collected the <br />following readings from the Hhigh and Low volume solution collection <br />transducers. <br />Phase I high Volume Solution Collection transducer # 2 was recorded at 25.8 <br />and # 3 was at 25.6. Low volume transducer # 1 was recorded at .09 and # 2 <br />was at .04. Piezometer for the pond was at 34.0 feet. <br />Phase II and III high Volume Solution Collection Transducer # 4 was at 26.0 <br /># 5 was at 26.2 and # 6 was at 25.8. Low volume transducer # 1 was at .14 <br />and # 2 was at.68. Piezometer for the pond was recorded at 28.7 feet. <br />Phase IV High Volume Solution Collection Transducer # 7 was recorded at <br />13.6 # 8 was at 12.6 # 9 was at 13.6 and # 10 was at 13.6.Low volume <br />solution collection transducer # 1 was at 8.9 and # 2 was 6.9 inches of <br />hydrostatic head. <br />Inspected the External pond, it was holding frozen water covered with the <br />fresh snow from the night before. While in the area, collected the <br />following readings from the low volume solution collection transducers. # 1 <br />was recorded at 12.4 and # 2 was at 10.2 inches of hydrostatic head. (All <br />other readings are in feet of hydrostatic head unless noted otherwise <br />noted) <br />Inspected the under drain discharge area, all three ponds were still <br />holding what appeared to be partially frozen water from the recent <br />precipitation, the area received, no problem noted. Both the South and 4 <br />inches pipes were discharging. The discharge from the 4 inche pipe was more <br />than what was observed on 4/14/05 <br />
