Water, Waste & Land, Inc. Statement of Qualifications <br />• 12 <br />Oracle Ridge Mine (South Atlantic Ventures Ltd) Oracle, Arizona <br />Water Waste & Land, Inc. designed the tailings impoundment and associated <br />facilities for a new underground copper mine and flotation mill. The tailings impoundment <br />was designed as an unlined facility, requiring a thorough evaluation of ambient <br />groundwater conditions and tailings fluids. We designed, installed, developed, and initially <br />sampled the monitoring wells for the tailings impoundment. Water, Waste & Land, Inc. <br />provided the primary contact with state agencies during preparation of the Aquifer <br />Protection Permit for the tailings impoundment. <br />Felder Project (Exxon Minerals Corporation) Ray Point, Texas <br />Water, Waste & Land, Inc. conducted investigations to characterize ground water <br />movement and quality beneath the site of a uranium tailings impoundment. Predictions <br />have been made concerning seepage from the tailings and ground water movement in the <br />site area after reclamation has been completed. We also assisted Exxon with preparation <br />of a plan to achieve compliance with recently promulgated ground water protection <br />regulations. <br />Walker County Project (Central and South West Services, Inc.) Dallas, Texas <br />Water, Waste & Land, Inc. conducted a detailed study at the site ofl a proposed <br />lignite mine to predict water quality and quantity of surface mine drainage and to <br />determine treatment processes and costs that would be necessary to melt applicable <br />regulations. Overburden geochemical data was reviewed and incorporated inia prediction <br />of surface water quality. We also determined dewatering requirements. VWell patterns <br />were established, pumps selected and construction cost estimates prepared. Predictions <br />of water quality were developed for a system of end lakes that might exist at the <br />cessation of mining. An analysis of environmental impact of these opertations was <br />prepared. <br />Conquista Project (Conoco Inc.) Falls City, Texas <br />As part of reclamation plans, WWL assisted Conquista in evaluating subsurface <br />conditions, ground water flow conditions, and ground water quality in the Bite area, as <br />well as predicting migration of seepage from the tailings impoundment. Recent work <br />includes development of a plan to achieve compliance with ground water protection <br />regulations. Water, Waste & Land, Inc. continues to provide supervision ands assistance <br />in construction quality assurance in reclamation construction. <br />
