Surface benchmazks have been installed at every site to measure movement <br />of the landslide block. Three inclinometers and three piezometers were installed. One <br />inclinometer and two piezometers were not installed as planned as the drill holes caved in <br />before the instrumentation could be installed. <br />Consultants have suggested that three additional holes need to be drilled in the G pit area. <br />These holes will be used to better verify the slip plane, the condition of the seams above <br />and below the slip plane and verify if the landslide block continues to move. These three <br />additional holes will be drilled during the summer project season. The holes will be <br />continuously cored and a surface benchmazk will be installed in each hole. One hole has <br />been selected for piezometer monitoring. Enclosed is section 3.3.3 of the permit, which <br />has been updated to include the three additional holes. The total number of inclinometers <br />and piezometers that will be installed during this project have been updated in this <br />section. Enclosed Tables 3.3-1 and 3.3-2 have been updated with the description of the <br />three additional sites. Enclosed Table 3.3-3 has been updated with the additional planned <br />instrumentation of the holes. The three holes that did not receive planned instrumentation <br />have also been updated in Table 3.3-3. Figure MR 213-1 is attached and shows the <br />locations of the three additional sites. <br />P.0. Box 187 Craig, Colorado 81626 (970) 824-4401 <br />
