All surface water stations were inspected and recorded weekly as per <br />the permit terms and conditions. Inspection dates were I/03, I/10, 1/17, 1/23, and 1/31 as <br />represented by the attached field log report copies. These inspections and recordings <br />identified readings at RS-1 as frozen, RS-2 as either frozen or zero (0), RS-3 and RS-5 as <br />zero (0) inches, and RS-4 and RS-6 as dry. The monthly precipitation accumulation for <br />December was 0.00 (nil) inches. <br />Vacuum on the tailing lysimeters was verified on January 30'h, no water was present for <br />sampling and subsequent analysis as represented on the attached field log report copies. <br />Depths to water were collected for the tailing impoundment main embankment and West <br />Pit piezometers/monitoring wells on January 30a' as represented on the attached field log <br />report copies. The January 30`h tailing impoundment piezometer measurements identified <br />these installations were either dry or contained less than 12 inches of water as illustrated <br />in Table 2. Tables 1 and 2 below identify the depth to water measurements collected for <br />each of the site monitoring wells, piezometers and lysimeters. <br />The tailing impoundment collection pond underdrain flow was pumped intermittently <br />during the month to minimize the collection pond level. The leak detection system was <br />measured on January 29`h. The January 2003 collection pond underdrain flow average <br />was 52.46 gpm and a total of 340 gallons of water was excavated from the leak detection <br />P.O.
