As stated the main purpose of <br />the inspection was to collect split samples from the under drain discharge points for WAD <br />cyanide analysis. <br />A split sample was collected from the south under drain the 4 inch pipe( AG1) from the low <br />volume solution collection discharge points for the pregnant ponds, for Phase I,II,III & <br />IV. Samples were placed on ice and delivered to the Colorado Department Health and <br />Environment lab the same day. <br />Inspected AG1.5 (NPDES) Discharge point, it was dry. All lower ponds from the under drain <br />discharge were dry. CC&V plans to clean out the lower ponds in anticipation of spring <br />runoff next month. <br />Inspected the valley leach facility and recorded the following readings from the High and <br />Low volume solution collection systems for Phase I,II,III&IV pregnant ponds. <br />Phase I High Volume Solution collection transducer#1 read out still not functioning <br />#2 was at 26.5 and # 3 was at 27.O.Pizometer meter reading below 34.5 feet does not <br />reflect the actual volume in the pond when pond levels are low. Low volume solution <br />collection transducer ##1 was recorded at .26 and #2 was at.37. <br />Phase II High Volume Solution Collection transducer # 4 was recorded at 41.8 # 5 was at <br />38.3 and # 6 was at 40.2. Low volume solution collection transducer #1 was recorded at .12 <br />and # 2 was at .31.Piezometer for the pond was at 41.5 feet. <br />Phase IV High Volume solution collection transducer #7 was recorded at 46.4, # 8 was at <br />46.3, #9 was at 41.8. Low volume # 1 was at 17.9 and # 2 was at 11.5 inches of hydrostatic <br />head. PS. All transducer readings are in feet of hydrostatic head unless otherwise noted. <br />Inspected the External pond, it was holding a partially frozen water .18.5 feet of water <br />as noted last time was in the pond as measured by the High Volume transducers. Low volume <br />transducer # 1 was at 13.4 and # 2 was at 11.5 inches of hydrostatic head. <br />Inspected the crusher area, it was not active at the time of the inspection. Storm water <br />diversion structures for the area were found to be in good repair. <br />Inspected the Cresson mine, East Cresson( wild horse area) was being actively mined at the <br />time of the inspection. <br />Inspected the sediment pond for the new Engineering office building and associated <br />drainages, it was empty, slightly covered with snow. <br />After the inspection a brief discussions were held at the office with Gary Goodrich and <br />Tim Comer about the pending Amendment and some of the changes that will be proposed in the <br />overburden storage areas. <br />18~ E Contact Address <br />NAME: Mr. Tim Comer <br />OPERATOR: cc8.v <br />ADDRESS P.O.BOX 191 <br />cc: I' CE <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP: vicr~R, c~i ~Ran~ ~~~~n <br />
