In response to an inquiry from the Board, Staff said the Division is
still in the process of reviewing TR-006 which addresses the protocol
and third-party monitoring. Staff said the Division has not had an
opportunity to review the nominations for third-party monitoring and
could not make a recommendation to the Board for a selection at this
time. The Board clarified that the Division would make the decision
regarding the third-party monitoring provider.

During the June 25, 1992 portion of the Board Meeting, Mr. Frank
Johnson presented and discussed EXHIBIT A, a proposed Order to reflect
the Board's Motion and decision, regarding this matter. He said the
other parties had been provided with copies of the proposed Order.
The Board discussed and commented on the proposed Order, as follows:
Page 1, No. 5--clarified that the parties desired cessation of the use
of cyanide, unless levels below 4.4 were reached, and asked that the
last sentence be moved to No. 7; Paqe 2, No. 4--asked that the Order
reflect the Division's commitment to immediately shut down the
operation at any time it is felt that the operating levels were not
safe. Mr. Johnson clarified that this is stated in the May 1992 Order
and is covered in No. 2 of this Order; Page 3, No. 5(b), Dean
Massey--clarified that the October 15, 1992 deadline should be removed,
because previous testimony stated that levels of 4.4 and :1.8 would not
be reached until about 2 months after installation ~f the INCO
treatment system (the Board concurred with this information and asked
that "by no later than October 15, 1992" be deleted from the Order);
Page 3, No. 6, Dean Massey--said the current language i~ this Order
modifies the May Order (the Board asked that language be added to the
last sentence making it state "...with the exceptions of the cyanide
levels and compliance dates specified in this Order".
It was MOVED that the Board adopt the interim Order concerning
detoxification for Battle Mountain Resources, Incorporates, as amended
during this discussion. SECONDED AND PASSED UNANIMOUSLY
