The necessary infrastructure for the plant <br /> system is in place, and has been since December of 1989. <br /> I regret to say that we have experienced serious difficulties with <br /> the manufacturer of the plant, H 0 Engineering, and at this time <br /> the plant has not been either mannactured or installed at our mine <br /> site. The (former) owner of H 0 has advised us that the company <br /> is unable to deliver the plan and has, in fact, gone out of <br /> business. <br /> The present treatment system, namely a three-pond series, to which <br /> guar gum is added to promote settling, has proven to be very <br /> effective since last August. Attached please find a report on the <br /> ponds by Lew Thompson, Mid-Continent Environmental Coordinator. <br /> Infrastructure <br /> Mid-Continent had identified the following tasks as necessary to <br /> prepare for installation of the water treatment plant. Mid- <br /> Continent completed work, preparatory to plant installation, by <br /> December 19, 1989. Since that time, we have been awaiting the <br /> arrival of the plant for project completion. <br /> 1. Mid-Continent Resources, Work Completed: <br />
