t Water, Waste 8 Land, Inc. Statement of Qualifications <br />d-6 <br />' MINING PROJECTS <br />' 1 <br /> Barite HI11 (Gwalia (USA) Ltd.) McCormick, South Ca 990) <br />rolina (1989 - <br /> Water Waste 8 Land designed the reusable leach pad, ponds, sed~'ment control <br /> structures, and waste disposal facilities for a new mining opera ion in South <br /> Carolina. Due to the climate of the area, control of excess prec pitation and <br />' the cyanide process water was a key part of the design for pon sizing and <br /> disposal facilities. ~ <br />1 <br /> Oracle Ridge (South Atlantic Ventures Ltd) Oracle, Arizona (1988 -(present) <br />' Water Waste 8 Land designed the tailings impoundment and associated <br />facilities for an underground copper mine and flotation mill. (The tailings <br />' impoundment was designed as an unlined facility, requiring evaluation of ambient <br />groundwater conditions and tailings fluids to demonstrate to State ag ncies (under <br />their new regulations) that impoundment operation would not degrade the existing <br />' water quality. The impoundment has been permitted, and Water, Watte 8 Land is <br />assisting the owner with construction quality assurance. <br />Willard (Western States Minerals) Lovelock, Nevada (1988 - present <br />Water, Waste 8 Land designed the heap leach and related facil~rties for the <br />1 Willard Project, a new gold mining operation in Nevada. Work inclutled design of <br />leach pads and ponds on sloping terrain, and design of diversion and sediment <br />' control structures. The project was one of the first projects reviewed and <br />permitted by the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection un er their new <br />regulations. <br />1 <br />Northumberland (Western States Minerals) Austin, Nevada (1988 - pr~sent) <br />' Water, Waste 8 Land assisted Western States Minerals in theexpansion of <br />their heap leach facilities at the Northumberland Mine. This work Included design <br />' of additional leach pad space at a site with limited available cap city (due to <br />topography). Thts work required innovative methods for decommissio ing existing <br />' cyanide process heaps to provide space for new leach pads. <br /> <br /> <br />1 <br />
