("BMRI") <br />hereby submits a Technical Revision to its reclamation permit to implement the enclosed <br />Tailings Dam Safety Inspection and Reporting Program at the lined tailings facility at BMRI's <br />San Luis site. BMRI believes this will constitute Technical Revision No. 33 to its reclamation <br />permit. Copies of the Engineer's reports, and periodic inspection reports required under the <br />Tailings Dam Safety Inspection and Reporting Program will be maintained on file at the Battle <br />Mountain site office. <br />BMRI believes the enclosed Tailings Dam Safety Inspection and Reporting Program includes all <br />of those elements outlined in your January 14, 2013, letter. BMRI notes that it will implement <br />the Tailings Dam Safety Inspection and Reporting Program in conjunction with all of its existing <br />monitoring in and around the lined tailings facility, including the various monitoring <br />requirements outlined in TR -32 such as monitoring and monthly reporting at lysimeters, <br />monitoring wells, the leak detection system, and the lined tailings facility underdrain. In <br />combination with those existing requirements, BMRI considers its inspection and monitoring <br />program concerning the lined tailings facility to be quite comprehensive. <br />
