Quality Control (QA/QC) plan.
Vacuum on the tailing lysimeters was verified on November 26a', 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 November 26s'.
The November 26ei 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.
