The discharged water is sampled pursuant to discharge permit <br />requirements. Approximately 500,000 gallons of effluent per month are pumped to the tailings impoundment. <br />The tailings impoundment pond footprint covers 17 acres. The existing pond only covers about 6-7 acres. The pond is <br />currently frozen. <br />The erosion rills in the diversion ditch and the gulch west of waste dump "D" (where the impoundment pipeline crosses) <br />have been adequately repaired so this problem has been taken care of. <br />Could not review the seep area because of the snow cover. <br />Did not observe any problems. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: Dave Lon <br />OPERATOR: Battle Mountain Resources, Inc. <br />STREET: P.O.
