-32- <br />• it, personally. That's one of niy major concerns is having that Rita Se co <br />dewatered to that point and future problems that could arise. That's it. <br />Thank you. <br />MR. N. COHEN: Any questions? <br />MR. JOUFLAS: Thank's very much Joe. <br />MR. N. COHEN: Next is Charlie Jaquez. He's got a little bit of a slide <br />show. <br />MR. JOUFLAS: The same one? <br />MR. N. COHEN: No. These slides are -- what did you call it? Impounded. <br />MR. JAQUEZ: My name is Charlie Jaquez and I'm a member of the Committee <br />• For Environmental Soundness. This is the town of San Luis which is three <br />miles downstream in the drainage of the Rita Seco where the cyanide heap leach <br />that we are opposed to is located. On February 25th, three days after we met <br />with the ladies and gentlemen of the MLRD, we had an unusually warm day. And, <br />we had quite a b1t of snow melt. This is what appears to be a ditch with a <br />broken bank is really one of the roads of the Rito Seco which would be the <br />haul road. And, the amount of erosion that was occurring within just a few <br />hours was really significant. This occurred within just a few hours. This <br />part of this road which again is also part of that haul road was about 12 <br />inches deep and I would know because I wasn't really paying that much <br />attention and I hit it with my car. And the material here is running <br />downstream, which normally this would be in the direction of the Rita Seco. <br />Here, again, this is the water running here. It's a good deal of water. And <br />one of the things that ended up happening is that this water ended up, later <br />on that evening, ended up in the town of San Luis. <br /> <br />
