Inspected the Phase IVC leach pad area. The area had received a lot of rain the after noon of 7/14/04, which made the clay and geomembrane deployment difficult, still approximately 200,000 square feet of liner was deployed, since the last inspection. The deployed liner was inspected and appeared to meet the required specifications. The rainfall from the day before had washed some of the Darin cover on top of uncertified liner, Ames laborers under the supervision of GOLDER QA/QC personnel, were removing the Drain cover utilizing hand shovels. Drain cover was being deployed along the NORTH WEST facing slopes at the time of the inspection. The weekly construction report from last week, also reported an incident of liner tear during the deployment process, due to operator error. The repair was properly repaired and tested in accordance with the approved specifications. Golder QA/QC in addition to Ames workers were present over looking the deployment. Inspected the phase I, II, III AND IV leach pad pregnant POND areas and recorded the following readings from the High and Low volume solution collection transducers. Phase I High Volume solution collection transducer # 1 was recorded at 24.7 #2 was at 20.6 and # 3 was at 19.6. Low volume transducer # 1 was at .15 and # 2 was at .52. Piezometer for the pond was at 34 feet. Phase II and III High Volume solution collection transducer # 4 was recorded at 35.1 # 5 was recorded at 37.3 and # 6 was recorded at 36.2. Low volume transducer # 1 was at .11 and # 2 was at .40. Piezometer for the pond was at 37.8 feet. Phase IV High Volume solution collection transducer #7 was recorded at 18.3 # 8 was at 17.3 # 9 was at 18.2 and # 10 was at 18.2. Low volume transducer # 1 was at 5.6 and # 2 was at 6.3 inches of hydrostatic head. (All other readings are in feet of hydrostatic head) Inspected the external pond, it was holding some water (rain). While in the are recorded the following readings from the Low Volume collection transducers. Transducer # 1 was at 12.3 and # 2 was at # 9.4. Inspected the under- drain area, all the ponds with the exception of the upper most pond, were dry. Both the south and 4-inch pipes were discharging at the time of the inspection.
