during the month per the terms and conditions of the TR-32 Quality Assurance and
Quality Control (QA/QC) plan.
Vacuum on the tailing lysimeters was verified on September 30`s, no water was present
for sampling and subsequent analysis.
Depths to water were collected for the tailing impoundment main embankment piezo-
meters, the West Pit and the tailing embankment monitoring wells on September 3011i.
The September 30`h tailing impoundment piezometer measurements identified these
installations were either dry or contained less than 12 inches of water as illustrated in
Table 2. Tables 1 and 2 below identify the depth to water measurements collected for
each of the site monitoring wells, piezometers and lysimeters as required by the terms
and conditions of the TR-32 QA/QC plan.
The tailing impoundment collection pond underdrain flow was pumped intermittently

measured on September 24~'. The September collection pond underdrain flow average
