<br />we were using 68 milliliters of reagents per minute. Sittce <br />the change has been made we are using less than 5 milliliters <br />per minute. <br />As you can see we have made no changes to the outside <br />plumbing as submitted in the original permit. <br />lc.

I informed him that the Hazel A wan full <br />and any discharge into it would cause an overflow. I also <br />pointed out to him that according to the permit prior to <br />any discharging into the Hazel A we were required to take <br />water samples from a test hole near the Cash Mine road. <br />He informed me that he had already taken such samples and <br />then instructed me once again to open the valves. I again <br />refused. <br />This conversation tack place through a speaker phone of <br />which Mr. Steen was aware of.
