The area had received measurable precipitation, the night before, which was evident, through out the permit area. Storm water management repair work was on going, during the inspection. Given the amount of rain the area had received in the Month of July, the storm water diversion structures appeared to be in good repair and functioning as designed. Inspected the Phase IVC leach pad area. Due to afternoon rains, only 40,000 square feet geomembarne was deployed last week. According to the weekly construction report, most of the work conducted was deploying drain cover. Drain cover, along the North Facing slopes was being deployed, at the time of the inspection; Golder QA/ QC personnel were present overlooking 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 37.3 #2 was at 32.8 and # 3 was at 34.6. Low volume transducer # 1 was at .22 and # 2 was at .31. Piezometer for the pond was at 34.3 feet. Phase II and III High Volume solution collection transducer # 4 was recorded at 36.1 # 5 was recorded at 29.6 and # 6 was recorded at 34.6. Low volume transducer # 1 was at .12 and # 2 was at .46. Piezometer for the pond was at 38.4 feet. Phase IV High Volume solution collection transducer #7 was recorded at 19.1 # 8 was at 18.2 # 9 was at 19.1 and # 10 was at 19.4.
