1 <br /> <br />1 tailings. <br />197 <br /> 2 We have done tailings, leachability <br />' <br /> 3 testing on these materials, and these tailings have <br />' 4 shown to be nonhazardous. What we have done, in <br /> 5 fact, is not use the EP toxicity test. My <br />' 6 professional opinion is, is these would easily pass <br /> 7 the EP toxicity test. <br />' 8 We have <br />d th <br />ew <br />d <br />t <br />d E <br />PA <br /> a <br />use <br />e n <br />man <br />e <br />. <br />' 9 Method 1312 mine abstraction test, which has been <br /> 10 mandated from the first of September last year, to <br />' 11 be used for mining wastes, to determine whether they <br /> 12 are hazardous. <br />' 13 That data were submitted to the <br /> 14 department. It shows it is clearly nonhazardous, <br />' <br /> <br />15 - <br />as all the constituents that show it to be at or - <br />t 16 to be at or near hazardous, that define hazardous or <br /> 17 at or below the detection limits of the methods <br />' 18 used. <br /> 19 In respect of acid generation, the point <br /> 20 th <br />t <br />i <br /> a <br />was ra <br />sed again earlier, it is my belief, <br />' 21 based on the testing we have done of all they <br /> 22 materials -- and we have several sets of the tests <br />' 23 on materials -- that these tailings are not going to <br /> 24 be acid generators. <br /> 25 There is some production with acid, but <br />AGREN, BLANDO & BILLINGS <br />
