Reclamation of areas disturbed by pond and pipeline construction will be concurrent <br />with construction. Reclamation of the Waste Rock B area and the topsoil stockpile <br />will be completed concurrently with the completion of the East Pond construction. <br />Water treatment plant operations will end after completion of the West Pond. <br />However, the building that houses the water treatment equipment will be retained for <br />use in support of the ranch operation. Therefore, there is no formal decommissioning <br />of the water treatment plant. <br />Final reclamation of the tailings surface will commence upon completion of the TDA <br />supernatant pond draindown. Once final reclamation of the TDA has been <br />completed, the final reclamation spillway will be constructed to achieve a non- <br />impounding configuration. It is currently expected that at least one complete summer <br />season will be required following the end of water treatment plant operation before <br />the final TDA reclamation cover can be installed. Final TDA spillway construction <br />will not commence until the TDA draindown flow rate reaches an acceptably low <br />value. <br />Battle Mountain Resources, Inc. 20 <br />P:\Pmjmts\212-Newmoot(S=Lius)\SanLuis(Pemut Amedmrnt- We Pit ki-@ .AVS Repo &PDFATeMWmmitA-d-vt_v5c.dw December 2007
