<br />INSPECTION REPORT - PAGE 2 <br />FILE N0. M-82-020 <br />DATE: July 16, 1986 <br />OBSERVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: <br />1. Mr. Gydessen Reiterated that the cyanide circuit is not utilized at the <br />present time; Mr. Gydessen will contact the Division upon reinstatement <br />of the cyanide circuit, if ever. <br />2. The topsoil stockpile had bee removed from the toe of the tailings pond <br />berm to an area above (SW)~the tailings pond. <br />Weeds were observed covering the topsoil; perennial species may need to <br />be reseeded on the topsoil stockpile, as none were observed from the <br />previous seeding. <br />3. The "cyanide" pond and tailings pond berms outslopes were successfully <br />revegetated with perennial species. <br />4. A diversion ditch was constructed below (north of) the cyanide pond to <br />route possible pond overflow into the tailings pond. The access road <br />may need to be raised at its intersection with the diversion ditch to <br />assure possible pond over flow into the tailing pond rather than down <br />the road. This road acts as an upland diversion for the "cyanide pond". <br />5. The fenced cyanide pond exhibited secure, well maintained liners and a <br />freeboard of approximately 8.5 feet. <br />6. Waste rock was being dumped at the upper reach (south) of the tailing <br />pile. Some rock was placed over topsoil. This should be avoided in the <br />future, as the permit specifies topsoil salvage prior to disturbance. <br />7. Barrels with unknown contents were stored northwest of the mill building <br />and southwest of the cyanide pond. The permit specifies that barrels <br />will be triple rinsed, crushed and disposed of in an approved landfill. <br />Chemical barrels should be stored in a sheltered building or atop <br />pallets in a bermed area. <br />8. Equipment is stored east of the mill building/cyanide pond. Please <br />review the acreage disturbed to ensure disturbance is within the <br />permitted acreage (6). If greater than 6 acres,an amendment increasing <br />the permitted "affected land" boundary requires submittal. <br />9. The site is we1T maintained. <br />9. A E5,000.00 bond is maintained for the site. <br />10. If you have any question please do not hesitate to contact me. <br />/vj r <br />0086E <br />
