(BMRI), San Luis Project for the month of August 2003. <br />Surface and ground water monitoring and analysis were completed for all required sites <br />during the month per the terms and conditions of the TR-32 Quality Assurance and <br />Quality Control (QA/QC) plan. <br />Vacuum on the tailing lysimeters was verified on August 29th, no water was present for <br />sampling and subsequent analysis. <br />Depths to water were collected for the tailing impoundment main embankment <br />piezometers, the West Pit and tailing embankment monitoring wells on August 29th. The <br />August 29`h tailing impoundment piezometer measurements identified these installations <br />were either dry or contained less than 12 inches of water as illustrated in Table 2. Tables <br />1 and 2 below identify the depth to water measurements collected for each of the site <br />monitoring wells, piezometers and lysimeters as required by the terms and conditions of <br />the TR-32 QA/QC plan. <br />The tailing impoundment collection pond underdrain flow was pumped intermittently <br />during the month to minimize the collection pond level. The leak detection system was <br />measured on August 29`h. The August collection pond underdrain flow average was <br />44.38 gpm and a total of 530 gallons of water was excavated from the leak detection <br />system yielding a monthly average of 1 R.27 gpad. <br />P.O.
