The foliawing provides information for <br />the points addressed in the NOV: <br />1. Failure to collect the annual water sample for CCAW-1, PAW-5 and PAW-6 -Bailing <br />equipment to sample these wells was lost in the mine during the November 2001 sampling. <br />As a result, the annual sample for these three wells was not completed uritil January 13, <br />2002. Miscommunicationwtth the lab resulted in the short list ofparameters being analyzed <br />rather than the annual list. The lab is currently analyzing the annual list for the samples <br />collected during the May 2002 sampling for comparison purposes. These results will be <br />submitted as they are completed <br />2. .F ailure to sample for iron (di solved) far two semiatmual samples for CCAW-1, PAW-5 atKi <br />PAW-6 -Dissolved iron was inadvertently omitted from the analytical list for these two <br />samplings. This parameter will be added to the list for future samplings. <br />~~ , 3.
