Phase IV Weekly Summary No. 39 Page 2 003-2203 <br />Ames continued excavation and removal of the old Highway 67 asphalt, fence, and guardrail located <br />near the old highway crossing in of Phase IVa. A Cat 375 loaded several Cat 777 haul trucks, which <br />• then hauled the waste to the "Sky Dump". <br />Ames resumed clearing and grubbing within the Phase Na footprint neaz the eastern portion of the <br />Southern Access Road. Ames hauled the topsoil to stockpile and the slash to the "Sky Dump". <br />Ames did not perform confirmation drilling or underground remediation within the Phase IVa azea <br />during this reporting period. <br />Phase IVb <br />Ames performed excavation remediation activities for known underground workings UG-232 and <br />247. If the workings were verified as shallow, a Cat D7 dozer and a Cat 563 roller would backfill <br />the excavations and compact the shaft back to grade with SF. Otherwise, the shaft was lefr open for <br />"Deep Shaft" remediation to be performed later. <br />Ames performed clearing and grubbing of topsoil and removed trees. A Cat D7 and a Cat 330track- <br />hoe removed trees and stripped topsoil from the southwestern azea of Phase IVb. Topsoil and slash <br />were piled locally for relocation at a later date. <br />Ames conducted blast drilling where confirmation drilling had identified underground workings <br />within the remediation zone at UG-216 and UG-202. A lateral at UG-216 was blasted on October <br />30`h at 16:45 and a lateral at UG-202 was blasted on November 1~` at 16:45. <br />• Ames conduced confirmation drilling on known underground workings UG-204, 206, the un-named <br />tunnel, Tunnel C, and Tunnel D. <br />Ames continued to excavate around and demolish the retaining wall at the Carlton Mill. Ames used <br />Caterpillaz 375 excavators to remove material and wall. <br />Phase IVc <br />Ames performed excavation remediation activities for underground workings UG-236b, UNK-4, <br />UNK-5, and UNK-6. These workings were verified as shallow, so a Cat D7 dozer and a Cat 563 <br />roller backfilled the excavations and compact the material back to grade with SF. <br />Ames performed cleazing and grubbing of topsoil and removed trees. A Cat D7 and a Cat 330 track- <br />hoe removed trees and stripped topsoil from the northwestern azea of Phase IVc, neaz the existing <br />topsoil pile (Located west of the Phase IVc limits). Topsoil and slash were piled locally for <br />relocation at a later date. <br />Ames performed confirmatory drilling activities associated with the Phase Nc construction azea on <br />known underground working UG-234a, UG-235, and UG-246. <br />Ames conducted blast drilling at UG-236 where confirmation drilling had identified underground <br />workings within the remediation zone. Ames blasted at UG-236 on October 30a' at 16:45. <br />PM1Ue IVs 390pI&NOH.da Golder Associates Inc. <br />
