(Page a) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID # M-90-059 <br />INSPECTION DATE 7120/99 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS WHE <br />4. Potential for adverse impact to the hydrologic balance may exist due to the pyritic content of the low <br />grade ore and waste rock material, which has been placed in contact with surface waters. Please review <br />Rules 3.1.5(5), 3.1.5(10) and 3.1.6(1). DMG identified the issue of waste rock materials being placed in direct <br />contact with surface drainage, as a Problem in its 8/28/97 inspection report. Evidence of compliance with <br />the corrective actions of DMG's 8/27/97 inspection report was not observed. <br />CORRECTIVE ACTION: Within 30 days, by August 26, 1999, complete one of the following two options: <br />(a) remove waste rock and/or low grade ore material from direct contact with surface drainage; OR <br />Ib) demonstrate that the waste rock/low grade ore material does not contain acid-forming or toxic producing <br />materials, does not have potential for unauthorized release of pollutants to the surface and groundwater <br />systems, and that the operator has minimized disturbances to the prevailing hydrologic balance. Such <br />demonstration will include an appropriate laboratory analysis of the stockpiled material to determine the acid <br />and metals generating potential. 8 / 26 / 99 <br />PV or PB ~ <br />TOPICS MP.
