INSPECTION DATE: a-ia-n7 INSPECTOR'S INrITALS: r;K
The Division conducted a monitoring and construction progress inspection of the Phase I , II, III and IV of
the leach pad facility and supporting structures on 9-19-02. Present during the inspection were Phil Barnes,
Mark Tidquist and Terry Mandziac of CC&V.
The inspection began, around the Phase IV 9A) area where the operator thought a haul truck drove over a
very small area of the north west section of the certified area, which is still under review. Since the area did
not have the required cover thickness for such truck travel, It was assumed that portion of the area was to
be removed from the certification report with, a new map submittal. However, when an accurate survey of
the double lined and certified area was conducted again after the incident. CC&V and the certifying
engineer, confirmed that, the area in question was outside of the double lined area, and there was no need
to submit new maps to the certification report for Phase IV (A).
Continued the inspection to the Phase IV (B) and (C) areas. Back fill and grading work was continuing. The
Phase IV PSSA AREA WAS TAKING SHAPE. According to Terry, the area should be ready for geomembrane
liner deployment by next week. No major problem noted. Golder QA/QC personnel were present over
looking the work in progress.
Continued the inspection the new crusher area. It was not active at the time of the inspection. The old
crusher has been dismantled and ready to be moved. No major problem noted. Inspected the main Cresson
it area, it was not active. Storm water diversion structures appeared to be in good repair. Inspected the
East Cresson area, it was active, at the time of the inspection.
Continued the inspection to the external pond area. It was holding some water from recent storms. While in
the area, the following readings were recorded from the low volume solution collection transducers.
Transducer # 1 was recorded at 18.9 and # 2 was recorded at 16.2 inches of head.
Inspected the PARSE II pregnant solution collection area and recorded the following readings from the high
and low volume solution collection transducers.
High volume solution transducer # 4 was recorded at 16.7 # 2 was at 18.9 and # 3 was at 16.2
Low volume solution collection transducer # 1 was recorded at .15 and #2 was at .13. All readings are in
hydrostatic feet of head.
Inspected the underdrain area, the pump back structure should be completed with in the next week or so,
and that all the underdrain pipes should be in place. All three lower ponds were holding water. The 4-inch
and 24 inch south underdrains were discharging. The North underdrain 24-inch pipe was still dry. No major
