Attached you will find three categories of data. The first category shows (graphically) <br />deflection readings in the three inclinometers (07-GI2, 07-GX6 and 07-ZI1). Multiple <br />readings for each inclinometer are shown with corresponding dates listed on the right <br />hand side of each graph. Instrumentation within the boundaries of the slide area is <br />monitored more frequently than sites outside of the slide boundary. There has been no <br />significant movement in any of the three inclinometers. Movements in 07-ZI1 have been <br />reported to AAI and are not deemed to be a problem. Further, this site has been <br />abandoned as mining activities have reached this area. <br />The second category shows piezometer data. Data for all four piezometers are shown on <br />one attached sheet. Piezometers inside the slide area tend to have higher psi readings than <br />those outside the slide area. Variations in readings over time have been small. Readings <br />from the Z pit piezometer indicate insignificant amounts of pore pressure. This <br />piezometer was inadvertently destroyed in September and is currently inactive. <br />The third category shows movement data for the nine installed benchmarks. With the <br />exception of the benchmark located at 07-GX2-CCR, movement has not been significant. <br />The benchmark at 07-GX2-CCR is located just outside the east slide perimeter. This <br />monument has moved over ten feet at a fairly consistent rate over the last 12 months. <br />AAI is not concerned or surprised by this movement given the location of this site. <br />Trapper will continue to supply DRMS semi-annual monitoring reports for this area as <br />long as AAI deems monitoring to be necessary. <br />Please contact me if you have any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />r <br />James M.
