ORIGINAL -PUBLIC FILE (Page 2) MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: M-teRnand INSPECTION DATE: o-I ~-0'~ INSPECTOROS INITIALS: fit` OBSERVATIONS The Division conducted a monitoring and construction progress inspection of the Phase 1, II, III AND IV areas of the leach pad and water sampling from the North Under drain Discharge, on 9-17-03. Present during the inspection were, Tim Comer and Mark Tdquist of CC&V. The physical inspection began around the Phase IV pregnant solution collection areas. Prior to the inspection Mr. Tim Comer informed me of an accidental fear to the liner near the temporary power source area, where the housing for the transducer read out will be placed, during the during the transportation and placement of the primary header pipes. He stated that no one knew how it happened but it will be repaired as soon as Poly Flex gets back to the site and the certification report will reflect the proper documentation of the repair work. Only drain cover was being pushed along the North sides of the pad area, at the time of the inspection. The tear area was observed, the operator had placed a liner above it to prevent rainwater from seeping. No major problem noted. The permanent pumps have been placed on the caissons. Once the power is connected and the permanent pumps are connected the main power source, the transducer readouts for the High and Low volume solution collection systems will also be in place and housed. While in the area collected the following readings from the High and Low Volume Solution Collection Transducers for Phase IV. High Volume Transducer # 1 read out was not functioning at the time of the inspection, the pump was on, and as noted in the previous inspection reports. # 2 was at 18.2 feet of hydrostatic head. Low Volume transducer # 1 was at 5.9 and # 2 was at 1.3 (all readings are in inches of hydrostatic head) both pumps were on at the time of the inspection. Inspected the recently deployed ore, the second liff was being placed at the time of the inspection. No ponded solution was noted. 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 I HIGH VOLUME SOLUTION COLLECTION TRANSDUCER # 1 WAS recorded at 40.5# 2 was at 43.2 and # 3 was at 43.9. Low volume transducer # 1 was recorded at .22 # 2 was at .71. Piezometer was at 46.9 PHASE II HIGH VOLUME SOLUTION COLLECTION TRANSDUCER # 4 WAS RECORDED AT 34.0 # 2 WAS AT 28.0 AND #6 WAS AT 34.0 LOW VOLUME TRANSDUCER # 1 WAS AT .16 AND # WAS AT .51 (ALL READINGS ARE IN FEET OF HYDROSTATIC HEAD) Piezometer for the pond was recorded at 34.8 feet. 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 11.7 and # 2 was at 13.2 readings are in inches of hydrostatic head. Earth moving work in anticipation of liner DEPLOYMENT near the ARD building for additional solution containment, IS CONTINUING. Once Poly Flex returns to the site, CCBV expects to have the LINER WORK COMPLETED. Trenches were being dug to remove some buried gas and water pipes. No major problem noted. Inspected the under drain area. Both the 4-inch pipe, South and North under drains were discharging at the time of the inspection. The flow was being pumped back onto the leach pad. The lower pond was being mucked out for additional storage at the time of the inspection. No major problem noted.
