be tested at the required internal pressure for a minimum of three (3) hours after the <br />pressure in the pipe has stabilized. The duration of the expansion phase and pressure <br />dissipation phases shall be consistent with the manufacturer's recommendations. The <br />pipeline shall be inspected for leaks. In the event that leaks aze found, the pressure <br />shall be allowed to dissipate and the water removed prior to making the necessazy <br />repairs. The pipeline shall be retested until a passing test is achieved prior to placing <br />fill over the pipe. <br />Finished Grading and Reve etg anon <br />All surface land disturbances created during pipeline installation shall be reclaimed. <br />Reclamation shall include the backfilling of the excavated trench to blend with the <br />adjoining upgradient and downgradient topography. The recontoured trench will be <br />seeded with the CDMG approved seed mixture following backfill and contouring <br />activities. <br />G.3 Site-Wide Monitoring <br />The current water monitoring program for the San Luis Mine is outlined in Technical <br />Revision 32, Table 1-4. The two principal azeas of water monitoring at the San Luis <br />Mine aze: (1) the West Pit azea (includes both surface and ground water monitoring), <br />and (2) the tailings disposal azea (TDA). As specified in the Colorado Mined Land <br />Reclamation Boazd regulations, "An operator is allowed to request a release of <br />reclamation responsibility any time the operator determines that the reclamation <br />requirements have been completed: [C.R.S. 34-32-117(5.5) and Rule 3.1.7(8)]. <br />According to conditions and calculations presented in Technical Revision 15, water <br />monitoring associated with the TDA would continue for a period of 9 yeazs following <br />cessation of tailings deposition or through the yeaz 2006. The time frame for water <br />monitoring at the TDA was based on detailed hydrologic analysis of reasonable and <br />probable travel times for ground water under a condition of TDA liner leakage. <br />• Based on the water monitoring conducted in the vicinity of the TDA, BMRI requests <br />Battle Mountain Resources, /nc.
