November 1996 Monthly Report <br /> Page 3 <br /> - Pride of the West Tailings <br /> Status of this site has not changed from the October monthly <br /> report although an access agreement was signed by the <br /> owners/operators of the land containing the bulk of the <br /> material to be removed. In order to implement the project, <br /> approval will be required from DMG for the consolidation site. <br /> This approval is required because the primary choice for a <br /> consolidation site is within the MLR permitted area for the <br /> Howardsville Mill . <br /> Access approvals have been requested from bordering landowners <br /> where minor amounts of material is located. These approvals <br /> have not been granted to-date. <br /> - Sunnyside Mine Pool Mitigation - Alkaline Solution Injection <br /> During the month of November, this project was inactive with <br /> no alkaline material or water being injected. <br /> The water pool pH at the American Tunnel was 4 .90 and the <br /> bulkhead pressure was 219 psi on November 21, 1996. Sunnyside <br /> will continue to monitor these parameters through the winter. <br /> - Cement Creek Diversion and Water Treatment <br /> Cement Creek diversion and water treatment was active <br /> continuously through November. The entire flow of Cement <br /> Creek was diverted and treated along with the portal flow <br /> from the American Tunnel . The heated intake structure appears <br /> to have solved the problem of intake icing as the intake <br /> operated without problems in November. <br /> Attached are results from flow and quality monitoring of; <br /> Cement Creek diverted for treatment (CC-1B) ; American Tunnel <br /> flow before treatment (AT-INFEL) ; dissolved metals analysis of <br /> the AT-004 discharge; and Cement Creek below the AT-004 <br /> discharge point (CC-20) . <br /> Mainstem Stream Monitoring and Reference Point Stream <br /> Monitoring <br /> Sunnyside sampled the mainstem stations on November 7, 1996 <br /> for the Bureau of Reclamation in addition to the reference <br /> point (A-72) sample. Results were not received in time for <br /> this report and will be included in the December report. <br />
