ORIGINAL - PURLIC FILE <br />(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: nn_iaan-~aa <br />INSPECTION DATE: 't/3~10s INSPECTORCS INITIALS: ~- <br />OBSERVATION <br />The Division conducted a bi monthly monitoring inspection of the site on <br />3/31/05. The area had received approximately 8 to 12 inches of snow the <br />night before with drifts ranging anywhere from 2 to 4 feet in certain <br />areas. The wind at the time of the inspection was blowing so hard, it <br />limited visibility to approximately 100feet. <br />Inspected the area above Squaw Gulch where topsoil was being stripped in <br />anticipation of the expansion of the overburden storage area. Again due to <br />poor visibility, the location was observed from the haul road. <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 33.9 <br />and # 3 was at 33.5-. Low volume transducer # 1 was recorded at .29 and # 2 <br />was at .52. Piezometer for the pond was at 36.5 feet. <br />Phase II high Volume Solution Collection Transducer # 4 was at 28.3 # 5 was <br />at 28.7 and # 6 was at 28.8. Low volume transducer # 1 was at .13 and # 2 <br />was at.55. Piezometer for the pond was recorded at 29.5. feet. <br />Phase IV High Volume Solution Collection Transducer # 7 was recorded at <br />13.8 # 8 was at 12.9 # 9 was at 13.8 and # 10 was at 14.1.Low volume <br />solution collection transducer # 1 was at 7.1 and # 2 was 7.0 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 13.4 and # 2 was at 11.2 inches of hydrostatic head. (All <br />other readings are in feet of hydrostatic head unless noted otherwise <br />noted) <br />After the inspection a brief discussion was held at the mine office <br />regarding the pending TR for the east Cresson Haul road. Lowe Billingley, <br />Technical Services Manager explained CC&V' wish to backfill the East <br />Cresson mine to original Pre-mining contour. CC&V was planning to backfill <br />the pit approximately 200 feet below original contour under Amendment # 8. <br />However, now that the East Cresson Expansion has been approved, CC&V felt <br />it would be easier for them to backfill the pit to original contour. <br />
