D. "10725 -10525" Level Site Description: Identical to that of past reports for 1996 through 2000. The minor overlap between this level and other bench designations reflects the original bench configuration. 2001 Observations: Piezometers IC10600 and IC10525 bound this azea. Water levels in IC10525 have demonstrated an equilibrium condition with minor seasonal fluctuations of 3.2 feet in a total dump thickness of about 228.8 feet. As of November 2001, data can again be collected from IC10600. Insufficient data is available for IC10600 for a recent historical analysis of water levels and equilibrium. The phreatic surface in this azea would be expected to respond with similaz seasonal fluctuations as IC10525. HMC will continue to monitor this piezometer in the future and review data for any anomalies. E. "10600 -10400" Level Site Descri tp ion: Identical to that of past reports for 1996 through 2000. 2001 Observations: The 2001 observations aze similaz to past yeazs. Piezometer IC10440 was located in this azea, however, it was lost in September 1996. Piezometer IC10525 can also be considered to be within the azea. The 2001 data for that piezometer is described above. F. "10400 -10370" Level Site Descri tion: Identical to that of the past reports for 1996 through 2000. 2001 Observations: the 2001 observations aze similaz to past yeazs. Piezometer IC10360 is located in this azea. Water levels in this piezometer have stabilized at about 227 feet bgs with a seasonal fluctuation of approximately 11.8 feet for 2001. The total depth of this piezometer is 260 feet and the thickness of the dump is on the order of 240 feet. Piezometer IC10370 is also located in this area. Water levels in this piezometer have also stabilized at about 186.6 feet with a seasonal fluctuation of 0.9 feet for 2001. The total depth ofthis monitoring well is 188 feet bgs. During 1997, Homestake reconstructed the face of the permanent low-grade ore stockpile located on the Indian Creek Waste Rock Dump. The purpose of the slope reconstruction was to reduce the potential for infiltration and promote more rapid runofffrom the slope. No seepage was observed in this azea in 2001.
