A storm runoff stock watering basin was constructed for <br />use by a local rancher to water cattle (letter of 10/08/04). The stock watering basin was <br />constructed adjacent to the Logan Wash access road in Area 10, the former Helo Pad. The basin <br />will serve to capture storm runoff from the access road and provide a water source to cattle that <br />pasture in the area during summer months. <br />In July 2005, a significant storm event resulted in erosion of the Lower Dump and Research Mine <br />Dump. Debris flows from these dumps were deposited in the toe areas of the dumps. Deposition <br />of debris flow material at the Research Mine Dump occurred on existing waste rock and fill from <br />past construction of the Upper and Lower Mine Access Roads. Deposition of debris flow <br />material at the Lower Dump primarily occurred on the Lower Access Road. This material was <br />later reworked with an excavator by pulling back the debris from vegetated areas and evenly <br />distributing the material on the road. DMG has since stated that this material can be re-excavated <br />and placed in the toe area of the main Lower Dump. <br />3.0 Monitoring Activities <br />Monitoring activities at the Logan Wash Mine during the reporting period consisted of <br />monitoring of mine water discharge and related sampling activities. These activities included (1) <br />flow monitoring and sampling of two National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) <br />outfalls on weekly, monthly, and quarterly schedules, (2) measurement of flow rates of the mine- <br />waterdischarge and retort-water discharge on a monthly basis, and (3) measurement of climatic <br />parameters (temperature and precipitation) on the Lower Bench. The latter two monitoring <br />activities are voluntary. <br />Western Water 8 Land, Inc. <br />
