dropped. Currently, the underdrain discharges meet all applicable groundwater st:utdazds and are <br />less than 0.2 mg/I for both WAD and total cyanide. <br />V. Conclusions <br />BMRI believes that the data collected as part of the original program and supported by the second <br />sample set clearly allows the conclusion that the changes in tailings detoxification methods have <br />not affected the long-term tailings geochemistry. High cyanide present in the tailings at deposition <br />is not measured in the tailings pore water or in the underdrain flows and has likely degraded and/or <br />dissipated. The conclusions presented in the Reclamation Evaluation Report remain valid. These <br />conclusions are presented in Section 1 of this document. We believe that the appr~~ved tailings <br />reclamation plan is appropriate and valid and none of the significant data collectee for this <br />evaluation suggests a change in the original reclamation assumptions or a need to revise that plan. <br />
