<br />-74- <br />MR. JOUFLAS: Anyone? Okay. Thank you. <br />MR. MASSEY: Accordingly, our conclusion is that there'll be no water in <br />the floor of the pit. We've developed a reclamation plan using -- on the <br />basis of that assumption. <br />MR. HOLDER: But again, I'd like to point out that you're obligated to <br />see to it that the pit remains dry. If all these things you mentioned so far <br />don't work, then maybe you have to back fill the pit. If that's the only way <br />you can do it -- that's what you do. <br />MR. MASSEY: We recognize that if -- that if site-specific conditions <br />develop that were unanticipated or unforeseen or that are inconsistent with <br />that reclamation plan, we have an obligation to modify that rec lamation plan <br />so that reclamation is in accordance with the law. On the basis of all the <br />• information to date, as indicated by Mr. Halepaska and elsewhere, we don't <br />believe that's the case, and we believe the reclamation plan is sound. <br />MR. DANIELSON: I have one -- one other question about that which you <br />just simply -- the Company is gonna be submitting a lot of data on a monthly <br />and quarterly and other basis. Does the Company have any problem with sharing <br />with the Staff on a regular reporting basis of the observations made of water <br />conditions in the pit as the pit is developed? <br />MR. MASSEY: No, none whatsoever. We anticipate a monitoring program <br />will do that. I think our current contemplation is that would bE~ submitted in <br />connection with the annual report. If a quarterly format or some other format <br />is -- that's fine with us as well. <br />MR. DANIEL SON: So, if as you develop the pit you start encountering <br />water, you would report that to the staff so that whatever approErriate <br />adjustments can be made starting during the development phase rather than <br />• having to worry about this when everything's done? <br />
