Lang Division Direcwr Asa result of discussions held on July 2, 1992 in the Division's olrfices with Alana Scott, Anne Baldrige, and Dean Massey, as representatives of Battle Mountain Gold (BMG), in regard to the five (5) conditions prgposed by the Division for approval of TR-O8, it is the Division's understanding that BMG will accept conditions 2 through 5 as outlined in the Division's letter of April 9, 1993. As a result of points raised by BMG during the meeting, however, it was agreed that some modification was to be made in Condition 1. The following revision of Condition 1 is consequently proposed: BMG will maintain and employ the approved ground water monitoring network according to the approved monitoring plan until it is demonstrated to the Division's satisfaction during the final reclamation phase of the tailings facility and collection pond that water flow from the tailings facility to the collection pond has ceased to be measurable for a period of 1 year, and that ground water below the tailings facility and collection pond is of such quality that no remediation efforts are required. Should the Division determine that evidence of any significant contamination of ground water from leaks or discharges from mine facilities has been detected during this period by monitoring or other means, BMG will be responsible for instituting and completing the remediation procedures approved in the Permit.
