ORIGINAL -PUBLIC FILE (Page 2( MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: ~~-~YR(1-24d INSPECTION DATE: 2!5lDd INSPECTOROS INITIALS: ~- OBSERVATIONS The Division conducted a monitoring inspection of the site on 2/05/04. Prior to the site inspection a brief discussion about the Phase IV LVSC WAS HELD WITH Tim Commer and Jeff Campbell. Tim explained the remedial actions CC&V had under taken to resolve some of the electrical problems the unit had been experiencing, since the last inspection. He explained briefly, what CC&V had done to date to resolve some of the problems associated with the electrical problems, that caused the pumps to shut down briefly the past week. The Division stated that the permit condition was very clear that in a double lined system, the maximum head couldn't exceed two feet, for a sustained amount of time. It was also stated that the Division fully understands that during the replacement of transducers the above limit can be exceeded, and have always understood that to be the case. However, CC&V, must also understand, sustained means, the normal amount of time, that it would take to replace the transducers and pumps as needed, and conduct any corrective actions. Present during the physical inspection of the site were, Mark Tidquist and Tim Comer. The area had received approximately 6 to 8 inches of snow the day before on top of what was already on the ground. The inspection began at the LVSC area where, Denny Demmer, mine supervisor briefly joined us, while he was conducting his normal tour. He explained what CC&V has been doing to solve some of the electrical problems that caused the pumps to shut down. He said they (CC&V) believe, one of the culprit to be the frequent cycling of the three horse power pump, that was installed last month, which they now have running all the time, as recommended by the manufacturer. He also said, the switch controls are so sensitive for Phase IV, even a slight variation in current, was what they believe was causing the circuit to shut down. While in the area, collected the following readings from the high and low volume solution collection transducers. Low Volume transducer # 1 was recorded at 9.2 and # 2 was of 7,7 ( all readings are in inches of hydrostatic head) High Volume transducer # 7 was recorded at 14.5 # 8 was at 14.6 # 9 was at 14.7 and # 10 was at 15.1 ( all readings are in feet of hydrostatic head). inspected the external pond, it was holding what a small amount of what appeared to be frozen wafer. White in the area, collected the following readings from the low volume solution collection transducers. Transducer # 1 was recorded at 10.6 and # 2 was at 12.2 Inches of hydrostatic head. Inspected the phase I AND II pregnant solution Collection area and recorded the following readings hom the high and low volume solution collection systems. Phase I low volume solution collection system # 1 was recorded of .22 and # 2 wos of .33. High volume transducer # 1 was at 39.0 , # 2 was at 43.5 and # 3 was at 43.1 Phase II tow volume solution collection transducer was recorded at .21 and # 2 was at .63.High volume transducer # 4 was of 42.7, # 5 was at 45,5 and 3 6 was at 45.4. ( all readings are in feet of hydrostatic headj. No major problem noted.
