(Deposition of Icon K. 'i'hompson) 4 <br /> • • <br /> 1 north, that's directly south of his residence. <br />~.., <br />• 2 A. I was not employed at the time it was <br /> 3 mined. I worked in that area in late -- let me <br /> 4 think -- January-February of 1990, we were removing <br /> 5 the old mining equipment, belt structure, et <br /> 6 cetera, from that area, and I spent a fair amount <br /> 7 of time working down in there as a foreman. <br /> 8 Q. Was there actually any mining or <br /> 9 removal of soil or rock material taking place in <br /> 10 connection with that activity at that time? <br /> 11 A. No, there wasn't. <br /> 12 Q. Your attorney has advised me that works <br /> <br /> 13 now is sealed off and is no longer capable of <br /> <br /> 14 physical inspection? <br /> 15 A. That is correct. <br /> 16 Q. When was it sealed off? <br /> 17 A. It was sealed off -- I want to say like <br /> 18 mid-1992, I believe, maybe May of 1992. I'm not <br /> 19 sure of the exact month. We have records of that, <br /> 20 and I could find that out. <br /> 21 Q. Why was it sealed off? <br /> 22 A. We had pumped mine water into that <br /> 23 section rather than pumping it outside to allow it <br />.~ <br />I 24 time to settle, the solids out of the water? <br /> 25 Q. Yes, sir. <br /> EARL E.
