As noted in the inspection reports in December, a minor spill outside the containment area <br />occurred due to infiltration problem. Part of the permanent fix to avoid future problems in addition to placing <br />pertorated pipes along 300 feet of the inter phase lined ditch was to tie in the tertiary lines in the still unloaded <br />Phase IVC pad was to tie in the two tertiary solution collection pipes away from the inter phase ditch so these <br />pipes will report onto the pad. The Division was a bit concerned about removing drain cover which is only two <br />feet thick might be a problem, due to the cold temperatures and permanent frozen surface. However, <br />because the drain cover had only minimum moisture the perma-frost was only approximately b inches deep <br />and the operation was completed with very minor tear in the liner. The tear will be repaired and pressure tested <br />in accordance with the approved specification for the site and certified by Golder and Associates prior to the <br />submittal of the technical Revision. CC&V WILL NOT COVER THE PIPIES WITH DRAIN COVER, UNTIL Dr. John Lupo <br />OF Golder had a chance to look at it and verify the repair work. <br />While in the area, inspected the Cresson pit, both the West and East Cresson pits were active. The back filling of <br />the East Cresson is continuing. While in the area Mr. Comer mentioned the fact that CC&V wants to place a <br />small truck road along the North side of the East Cresson pit to place a repeater station for pit monitoring of the <br />GPS UNITS IN THE DRILL RIGS. Part of the road is going to use existing old road. The Division requested that the <br />additional road be place on the facilities map that will be submitted with the Technical revision and the <br />addition warranty be added to cover the road. Mr. Comer agreed to both requests. <br />Inspected Phasel, II, III and IV leach pads and collected the following readings from the High and Low Volume <br />solution collection transducers. <br />Phase I high Volume solution collection transducer # 2 was recorded at 46.9 # 2 was at 47.3 .Low Volume # 1 <br />was at .17 and # 2 was at .67. <br />Phase II and III high volume solution collection transducer # 4 was at 29.5 , # 6 was at 25.5 and # 6 was at 29.5. <br />Low volume transducer # 1 was at .15 and # 2 was at .50. <br />Phase IV high volume solution collection transducer # 7 was at 33.2 # 8 was at 32.0 #9 was at 32.9 and # 10 was <br />at 33.1. Low volume solution collection transducer # 1 was at 18.7 and # 2 was at 4.4 inches of hydrostatic <br />head. (All transducer readings are in feet of hydrostatic head unless other wise noted) <br />Inspected the external pond it was holding what appeared to be frozen water. Low volume solution collection <br />transducers for the pond were at 1 1.4 and 9.5 inches of hydrostatic head. <br />Inspected the under drain area, both the flinch and south under drain were discharging. All lower ponds with <br />the exception of the lower big pond were dry. The lower pond was holding a small amount of water, which <br />appeared frozen. <br />
