Long, <br />Division Drtector <br />T0: The Battle Mountain Gol File Permit M-88-112> <br />FROM: Jim Pendleton <br />RE: Selection of ird P ty Sampling" Contractor & Analytica l <br />Laboratory or Party Monitoring at San Luis Project <br />I have completed a review of the following materials in finalizing m <br />selection of a third party sampling contractor and an analytical laboratory to <br />conduct the third party monitoring program at Battle Mountain Resour es, <br />Inc.'s San Luis mine: <br />Letters of Nomination, and Statements of Qualification by: <br />Sampling Contractors: <br />John W. Shomaker, Inc. (Jim Tolisano & Assocs. - Subcontractor) <br />RCG/Hagler, Bailly, Inc. <br />Waste, Water & Land, Inc. <br />Analytical Laboratories: <br />Analytical Technologies, Inc. <br />Core Laboratories. Inc. <br />Fee Schedules for Analytical Services by: <br />Analytical Technologies, Inc. <br />Core Laboratories, Inc. <br />Miscellaneous Memoranda to and from DMG/MLRO staff members <br />Miscellaneous Letters to and from Battle Mountain Resources, Incl. <br />The Mined Land Reclamation Board's May 28, 1992 Board Order and attached <br />list of abatement requirements. <br />As a result of this initial document revie:a, I eliminated one nominated third <br />party sampling contractor, John W. Shomaker, Inc. from consideration.Il <br />Shomaker, Inc. proposed to use Jim Tolisano & Associates as a subcont actor to <br />perform the sampling. Tolisano had proposed to use James W. Sharman s their <br />primary field personnel. Mr. Sharman's qualifications and experience <br />concentrated in forestry. In addition, discussions at the site Burin the <br />field visit hosted by BMRI on July 22, 1992, lead me to believe that r. <br />Sharman did not understand the specific nature of the task. For then reasons <br />I eliminated Shomaker, Inc. from consideration and invited the remain'ng two <br />sampling nominees to oral interviews. <br />
