<br />1.0 INTRODUCTION <br />Battle Mountain Resources, Inc. (BMRI) has been performing water treatment activities <br />at the San Luis Project located on [he western flan]: of the Sangre De Cristo Mountains, <br />approximately 4 miles northeast of San Luis in Costilla County, Collorado. During <br />operation of the water treatment facility, BMRI identified the need for a divider berm to <br />' be constructed within the former Pond 3 in an effort to optimize water management and <br />chemical pre-treatment processes. A Conceptual Design Report for the divider berm was <br />' prepared by GeoTrans and provided to BMRI on November 8, 2000. <br />' Berm construction and related site activities were performed from i}Iovember 8 to <br />November I7, 2000 in accordance with the procedures and specifications outlined in the <br />' Conceptual Design Report. This as-built report describes the constructioh and layout of <br />the divider berm. Services provided by GeoTrans in support of this proj~ct included (1) <br />compaction testing of fill materials [o define compaction specifications, 42) construction <br />oversight and in situ moisture-density testing to verify compliance with compaction <br />' specifications, (3) performance of a final survey of the as-built berm, (4~ supervision of <br />synthetic liner installation, and (5) performance of QA/QC tests synthetic Uiner seams. A <br />' complete summary of details and data regarding these activities is contained herein. <br />' 2.0 BERM DESIGN FEATURES <br />' 2.1 Berm Description <br />The as-built berm divides the former Pond 3 into two separate pond as shown on <br />' Drawing 1. The northern and southern portions of the former Pond 3 ar~ designated as <br />New Pond 2 and New Pond 3, respectively. The pond immediately west ~f New Pond 2 <br />' and New Pond 3 now is designated as Pond 4. The locations (northin~, easting) and <br />elevations of survey points measured after berm construction also ar(; provided on <br />' Drawing 1. The elevation of the berm crest is approximately 8605 ft at the northwest end <br />of the berm and approximately 8606 ft at the southeast end of the berm to t;onform to the <br />' existing ground surface. The width of the berm crest is approximately 10 feet [o <br />' Sau Luis Project 1 ~ GeoTrm~s, bic. <br />p.~~ ~a„mmg~~„rw-pevi..,,RR,.w~m.~~~rawa~.me~.e~~n,~~.,e« Febn~my200/ <br />1 <br />
