(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: M-19Rn-944 <br />INSPECTION DATE: <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />INSPECTORS INITIALS: R_ <br />The Division conducted a monthly monitoring, construction progress and 1St quarter water <br />split water sampling inspection of the site on 2/1/10. <br />Present during the valley leach facility and wear sampling inspection was Mark Vanoni. <br />Present during the construction progress inspection were Tim Comer and Mike Ellis. <br />Inspected the valley leach faculty. A heeder pipe had broken off on Sunday morning on top <br />of the Phase I leach pad, looked at the area first. The header pipe had been replaced. <br />However some ponding of solution was noted on top of the pad from the break, which CC&V <br />was working on removing. However, because no ponded solution of significant amount is <br />allowed, it will be cited as a possible problem. Talked to the pad crew and he explained <br />that due to the breakage and the temperature on the pad it took longer for the solution <br />to percolate but he expects it to be all gone by soon with the temperatures warming up <br />and normal solution application onto the pad. <br />The recently recertified pad Phase IVC, along the old LOB area was being loaded at the <br />time of the inspection. <br />While in the area collected the following readings from the Phase I, II,III and IV High <br />and Low volume solution collection transducers. <br />Phase I high volume solution collection transducer #1 was recorded at 25.9 # 2 was at <br />35.7 and # 3 was at 36.6 piezometer for the pond was at 51.5 feet. Low volume solution <br />collection transducer # 1 was at .35 and # 2 was at.42 <br />Phase II&III High Volume solution collection transducer # 4 was recorded at 23.6 # 5 was <br />at 14.2 and # 6 was at 24.0.Piezometer for the pond was recorded at 27.3 feet. <br />Phase IV High Volume solution collection transducer # 7 was recorded at 12.6 # 8 was at <br />13.0 # 9 was at 11.7 and # 10 was at 12.5. Low volume solution collection transducer # 1 <br />was at 12.6 and # 2 was at 10.7 inches of hydrostatic head.( All other readings are in <br />feet of hydrostatic head) <br />Inspected the External pond, it was holding a partially frozen water. Low volume solution <br />collection transducer for the pond was recorded at 13.9 for pump # 1 and 12.9 for pump # <br />2. <br />Inspected the under drain area. All lower ponds were slightly snow covered with little <br />frozen water in them. Both the south under drain and four inch pipes wee discharging at <br />the time of the inspection. A split sample from the South under drain and four inch pipes <br />were collected for WAD cyanide analysis, and delivered to the Health Department lab for <br />analysis the same day. <br />After the valley leach facility inspection, with Tim Commer and Mike Elise, inspected the <br />progress of the construction area for the Phase V leach pad. Leach pad pit slopes facing <br />south were now close to whet they will be prior to liner deployment. Work was also <br />continuing along the Soil Liner Burrow are south of the Cameron pad. Drainage control for <br />the area was found to be in good repair The Cresson mine was active at the time of the <br />inspection.
