• -65- <br />there is some need for rip-rap and for reinforcing the banks of the stream, <br />that has been designed into the diversion structures, as Mr. Johnson can <br />testify to, he was the one that did the routing around the facilities and has <br />been responsible for the rip-rap and those kinds of things. I guess that's <br />pretty straightforward. With that, if anyone has any questions I'71 be happy <br />to entertain them. <br />MR. HOLDER: One of the maps we were shown showed the leach pad itself <br />straddling a small tributary to the Rito Seco. <br />MR. HALEPASKA: This one? <br />MR. HOLDER: That one. <br />MR.~HALEPASKA: There it is -- for practical purposes this leach pad sits <br />• right on the top of a saddle. And there are some very small tributaries in <br />that area that diversion structures, as Mr. Johnson, I believe, can discuss <br />better than I, that have been designed to take care of those flows. <br />MR. JOHNSON: Okay. Referring to Charlie Jaquez' drawing, -- <br />MR. DANIEL SON: Could you speak up a little bit? <br />MR. JOHNSON: -- the facility is actually slightly miss-located on this <br />drawing, so I want to clarify this a little bit. First of all, all of these <br />drainages are noted in blue which to me indicates they are perennial streams <br />which they are not. Most of these are dry drainages, with exception to the <br />Rito Se co itself running down the central valley. All of these other <br />tributary drainages are dry drainages which do run after a storm. At no time, <br />when I've been on site, have I seen water running in those drainages. <br />Now, one of these drainages which is shown running straight into the heap <br />• leach is actually, actually enters this drainage downstream of the heap leach <br />and is, therefore, out of the picture and not a concern for the purposes of <br />
