(Page 2) MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: nn-t9Rn_~ee INSPECTION DATE: s;-n~-ns INSPECTORHS INITIALS: ~~ OBSERVATIONS The Division conducted a monitoring and construction progress inspection of fhe Phase 1, II, III AND IV areas of the leach pad on 8-07-03. Present during the inspection were Mark 7idquist and Tlm comer of CCBV. before the physical inspection, Mark Tidquest presented briefly what CCBV would like to do as temporary diversion structure around the crusher area. The approved Permanence design was to place 60-Inch culvert in this area. CCBV would Tike to place as temporary replacement 25-inch culverts. Once the Phase IV C are work is completed, the design engineer (COLDER AND ASSOCIATES) felt as a temporary a smaller adequately sized culvert would be able to handle the flow. The Division Informed CCBV that the request must be submitted as a Technical Revision and that all drainages that will be reporting to the culverts must be properly delineated, with the appropriate HEC ANALYSIS, showing the culverts are adequately sized to handle the flow. CCBV agreed to the above request. The Division gave verbal approval to commence with the earth moving work in the area, before the submittal of the TR. The physical inspection began around the Phase IV pregnant solution collection areas. Both the High and Low volume solution collection transducer read outs have been moved to the upper bench, no major problem noted. The first lifts In the pregnant solution collection area were in place and being leached at the time of the inspection. While in the area collected the following readings from the High and Low Volume Solution Collection Transducers for Phase IV. High Volume Transducer # 1 was not functioning at the time of the inspectlon, however, the pump was on, # 2 was at 18.8 Low Volume transducer # 1 was at 6.6 and # 2 was at 3.0 (all readings are in inches of hydrostatic head) Inspected the Phase I AND II Pregnant solution collection areas and recorded the following readings from the High and Low volume solution collection areas. Phase 1 HIGH VOLUME SOLUTION COLLECTION TRANSDUCER # 1 WAS recorded at 33.4# 2 was at 40.4 and # 3 was at 39.8. Low volume transducer # 1 was recorded at .22 # 2 was at .60. Piezometer in the area was recorded at 43.8 feet. PHASE II HIGH VOLUME SOLUTION COLLECTION TRANSDUCER # 4 WAS RECORDED AT 33.1 # 2 WAS AT 27.2 AND #6 WAS AT 33.0. LOW VOLUME TRANSDUCER # 1 WAS AT .16 AND # WAS AT .34 (ALL READINGS ARE IN FEET OF HYDROSTATIC HEAD) CCBV had reworked some erosion features noted below the external pond and placed riprap, to protect it from further damage in the future and it appeared to be in good repair. Inspected the external pond, it was holding water from the recent storms, while in the are recorded the following readings from the Low Volume solution collection transducers # 1 was at 8.6 and # 2 was at 11.4 readings are in inches of hydrostatic head. Earth moving work in anticipation of liner deployment, below the ARD area had commenced, no major problem noted. Inspected the under drain area. Both the 4-inch pipe and South under drain were discharging at fhe time of the inspectlon. The flow was being pumped back onto the leach pad. All three lower ponds were still holding a lot of water; the water was being pumped back onto the pad at the time of the inspectlon. All the lower ponds and surface water diversion structures were holding water but were not discharging at the time of the inspection. No major problem noted.
