2.7 Miscellaneous Monitoring <br />Miscellaneous monitoring to be required for the San Luis <br />Project includes monitoring required primarily for reclamation. <br />Testing of the reclamation soils will be performed to determine any <br />amendments that might be required. This testing will be performed <br />at the time that the soils are to be used for reclamation. <br />Other testing includes performing an EP toxicity test on any <br />sludge present in the collection pond upon completion of operations. <br />3.0 Reoorting Requirements <br />All monitoring data collected will be reviewed by a qualified <br />individual. Data collected on the tailings disposal area will be reported <br />to a professional engineer familiar with the design and operation of the <br />facilities. This engineer will compare and evaluate the recorded monitoring <br />against anticipated performance of the tailings disposal area. When <br />significant variation from anticipated performance is detected, the <br />engineer will notify the design engineer who will establ~~sh whether <br />modifications to the design or remedial measures are required. The data <br />collected as part of the tailings monitoring program will be compiled into <br />an annual report for submittal to the MLRD. Any significant variation which <br />could affect tailings operation or stability will be reported to the MLRD <br />as soon as the data is obtained and BMR will work with the MLRD to obtain <br />approval for any required modification to the approved plan. <br />Surface and groundwater monitoring results will be compiled and <br />evaluated as part of the project's annual report. As part of the approved <br />permit BMR committed to monitoring groundwater in wells adjacent to the <br />heap leach facility on a monthly basis and submitting the resu'its as they <br />became available. This program will be applied to the tailings disposal <br />facility and the groundwater wells in the vicinity of the tailings disposal <br />area will be monitored monthly with the results reported monthly. In <br />addition, any significnat changes in the monitoring results will be <br />reported to the MLRD as soon as these results are available. <br />
