(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: M-i9nR-~aa <br />INSPECTION DATE: a-~a-m INSPECTORS INITIALS: RK <br />The Division conducted a monitoring inspection of the site on 8-16-01. Present during the inspection was <br />Mr. Phil Barnes from CCB:V. The area had received measurable precipitation the past few days and the main <br />purpose of the inspection was to make sure the storm water diversion structures around the leach pad <br />facility were functioning as designed. The division channels around the leach pad facility were driven and <br />inspected all appeared to have functioned as designed and were in good repair. Topsoil stripping and <br />grading of the Phase IV area was continuing, no problem noted. Continued the inspection to the Phase II <br />pregnant solution collection area and recorded the following readings from the high and low volume <br />solution collection transducers. High volume pump # 4 was recorded at 8.6 feet of head, # 5 was at 11.7 <br />feet of head and # 6 was at 13.9 feet of head. Low volume solution collection pump # 1 was at .07 feet of <br />head and # 2 was at .19 feet of head. <br />Inspected the toe dam area, all three ponds were holding and discharging at the time of the inspection. <br />Water was being pumped from the lower pond to the external pond at the time of the inspection. All three <br />underdrain discharge pipes were also discharging at the time of the inspection but no samples were <br />collected. <br />Highway relocation bridgework was continuing, no major problem noted. Inspected the external pond area, <br />fence post around the pond was being placed at the time of the inspection. As mentioned above, water from <br />the lower Arequa pond was being pumped to the pond for temporary storage. <br />Inspected the new crusher area, sheet piling instead of soil nail wall was being placed at the time of the <br />inspection. -The original design called for a soil nail wall but according CC&V, the sheet piling appears to <br />give better support than the soil nail design. <br />With Mr. John Hardaway present, the Moffat tunnel area was inspected. Water from the base of the cribbing <br />was discharging to the county road. The source of the water appeared to be the natural drainage to the <br />west of the portal that infiltrates to the cribbing and discharging at the base of the cribbing. No discharge <br />from the portal opening was noted. <br />I & E Contact Address ^ OTHER <br />NAME: SCOTT LEWIS <br />OPERATOR: CC&V <br />STREET: P.O.BOX 191 <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP: VICTOR, COLORADO R0R6n <br />JAMES STEVENS <br />cc ^ CE <br />^ BL <br />^ FS <br />^ HW <br />^ HMWMD (CH) <br />^ SE <br />^ WQCD (CH) <br />
