berm outslopes, and borrow azea reclamation. The depth of stripping will be based <br />upon the thickness of suitable topsoil. Water may be added to the excavation area if <br />the soils aze dry and stripping work is generating excessive dust. <br />Gradme <br />Upon completion of topsoil stripping, the site will be graded to the liner subgrade <br />elevation indicated by the Construction Drawings. Work will include excavation of <br />the below-grade portion of the pond and embankment fill placement along the pond <br />perimeter. Embankment and structural fill will be constructed from on-site soil in <br />controlled lifts with a maximum compacted thickness of 12 inches, and compacted in <br />accordance with the Construction Specifications. The liner subgrade in the below- <br />grade portion of the pond that is excavated in native soils will be graded to achieve a <br />smooth surface, moisture conditioned (if necessazy), and compacted in accordance <br />with the Construction Specifications. <br />Liner Section <br />The compacted soil liner layer will be placed in lifts to achieve a maximum <br />compacted thickness of 6-inches to satisfy the required density. As described above, <br />specific material and placement specifications will depend on the results of the <br />detailed geotechnical evaluations that aze underway. It is anticipated that QA/QC <br />testing for the compacted soil liner layer will include gradation (ASTM D422) and <br />Atterberg limit (ASTM D4318) testing, Standazd Proctor (ASTM D698) compaction <br />tests, and field density testing (ASTM D3107, ASTM D2922, ASTM D1556). <br />The protective soil layer will be placed immediately after completion of the <br />compacted soil liner layer. The protective soil layer will be placed in two lifts with <br />compacted thicknesses of 12 inches and compacted in accordance with the <br />specifications. <br />Battle Mountain Resources, Inc. 24 Telesto Solutions, Inc. <br />P:1Projecu~212-Newmont(SavL~is)VSmluis~Permit Amcntlmem- Wrst Pit MV~agcment\V4 Report&PDFS~PCrmi~Amentlment_v6.JOC October 2006 <br />
