CAMAS will prepaze a Monitoring Plan, an outline of which is give in the balance of this
paragraph. Said Monitoring Plan will be submitted to and approved by the Office of the State
Engineer. If determined by OSE to be necessary, the Monitoring Plan will include a
commitment to monitor adjacent wells (where allowed by an adjacent well owner) and/or
install new monitoring wells. Said Monitoring Plan would include proposed measures to be
undertaken, in the event data from existing wells (where monitoring is allowed) and new
monitoring wells in accordance with standards in the Monitoring Plan approved by OSE,
determines that the operation is having any demonstrated adverse affect on adjacent wells or
basements. It is unknown how many ofthe identified wells are still in operation today .Some
of the wells are large capacity irrigation wells with the majority being small capacity wells.
It is unknown if any of the wells provide domestic water to the owner, however, given the
poor water quality in the area, it is unlikely that water from this aquifer serves as a potable
supply. Subject to approval by OSE, the operator proposes to monitor the groundwater table
as follows:
A monitoring grid will be located around the property. A total of 6 monitoring points
will be established with baseline data collected prior to the start of mining. The
baseline information will consist of at least three sets of water table measurements
being made before mining starts. The measurements will attempt to collect data
during different times ofthe year to allow for fluctuations that normally occurs, such
as deep water percolation for irrigation, etc.
The operator will monitor the water table on a monthly basis for the life of the mine.
The water table data shall be supplied to the Division of Minerals and Geology
(DMG) with the annual report.
In response to concerns of Mrs. Bromley and K.T. Barr, Inc. are the owners of wells
and lakes to the north of the permit area, CAMAS entered into an indemnification
agreement for mitigation in the event of adverse impact to historic use these wells and
lakes, unless CAMAS can present substantial, credible evidence that CAMAS's
mining operation is not the cause of any adverse impacts. A copy of the
Indemnification Agreement is included as pages 13 - 17 as part of this Exhibit. The
DMG also required a stipulation on the same matter that was made a condition of the
permit (DMG S#2).
