Pre-Samolino Activities <br />Prior to initiation of the first sampling event, the sampling and ana ysis protocol <br />document developed by Battle Mountain Gold and approved by th~ Mined Land <br />Reclamation Division will be reviewed. The purpose of the review will be to familiarize <br />WWL personnel with the established protocols for ground and surface I~vvater sample <br />collection and handling. A checklist will be developed to facilitate ahd document <br />oversight of all sampling activities. <br />In addition, it is anticipated that guidelines for collection of third party split samples <br />will be developed by the Mined Land Reclamation Division and Battle M untain Gold. <br />The intent of the guidelines will be to specify the mechanics of obtai ing the third <br />party water quality samples, as opposed to defining or modifying establi hed sampling <br />and quality control procedures. Basically, it is expected that the guidelin swill outline <br />procedures to ensure, to the extent possible, that the split samples are r presentative <br />of the primary samples, and will specify the third party quality control amples to be <br />collected. Time has been included in this task for WWL personnel tolassist in the <br />development and review of the third party guidelines. <br />Project Manager 2 hours @ S70 ~iS140 <br />Project Engineer 8 hours @ S55 660 <br />Subtotal 5800 <br />Task 2. Samolina Activities <br />As directed by the Mined Land Reclamation Division, a WWL individual wi I accompany <br />personnel of Battle Mountain Gold or their contractors during water sam le collection <br />activities at approximately four surface water sampling sites and seve monitoring <br />wells located at the Battle Mountain Gold San Luis Project. Four of th monitoring <br />wells are typically dry. The four surface water sample sites consist f the upper <br />impoundment area, the lower impoundment area, the collection pond fee er ditch, and <br />Rito Seco creek. It is anticipated that the frequency of the oversight sa piing events <br />will include: three events in the first quarter, two events in the secon quarter and <br />two events in the second half of the year. The Mined Land Reclama ion Division <br />representative will coordinate the sampling schedule with WWL and will notify Battle <br />Mountain Gold of the intended third party sampling event. <br />All sampling activities, including equipment decontamination, sample c Ilection and <br />sample preparation, will be observed and documented. If sampling activities or <br />procedures conflict with established protocols developed specifically for this project, <br />those activities will be documented in the field book, and will be discusse and, to the <br />extent possible, resolved in the field with the sampling personnel at th time of the <br />sampling. The affect on the integrity of the sample as a result of the co flict will be <br />evaluated and documented in the field book. The steps or procedure required to <br />rectify the conflict will also be documented in the field book. If the con ict with the <br />established sampling procedures can not be resolved in the field, then th Mined Land <br />Reclamation Division representative will be notified. <br />Split water quality samples will be collected at each sampling sit following <br />documented protocols, at the Battle Mountain Gold San Luis site during ea h oversight <br />sampling event. WWL will coordinate the events with the laboratory to b selected by <br />
