It is the DMG's understanding from the drawings and based on our <br />telephone discussions that the existing pipes will be disconnected at a flange associated with an <br />existing clean -out station, and the elbows to be installed at this location will be mechanically <br />connected using flanges. The DMG further understands that the project will require only one fused <br />seam on each of the dual pipes, and that the fused seem will be located just up- gradient from the <br />discharge point. The following conditions apply to the DMG's approval of the discharge point <br />relocation project: <br />1. Upon completion of the construction, a written certification for the new sections of pipeline will be <br />provided to DMG in accordance with Rule 7.3.2 of the Hard Rock/Metal Mining Rules and <br />Regulations of the Mined Land Reclamation Board. The pipes will not be placed back into service <br />until the certification has been accepted by DMG in accordance with Rule 7.3.2(1). <br />2. The annual leak -down test on the pipelines required under the terms of technical revision TR -009 <br />will be conducted as soon as feasible following the completion of the discharge point relocation <br />project. <br />All other terms and conditions of technical revision TR -009 and of Permit No. M- 1977 -342 remain in <br />full force and effect. If you have any questions, please contact me at 303/866 -4063. <br />len C.
