SWPPP controls and BMPs were inspected on-site prior to work each day. Approximately 500 cubic yards (cyds) of contaminated material were excavated in the cedar trees north of Harrier Creek Road and placed on the tailings impoundment. Minimal amounts of contaminated material were found east of the cedar tree area. Test pits were excavated in the area and will be reviewed the week of June 15 to determine an excavation strategy. Approximately 15,000 cyds of contaminated material were excavated south of Harrier Creek Road and placed on the impoundment. On June 10, clearing and grubbing of the Arrington borrow area began, approximately 6 acres have been cleared to date. A total of nine air samples were collected during removal activities. The samples were analyzed for lead using NIOSH Method 7300. Sample results were received for samples collected the week of June 1, 2015. One sample collected on June 1 from the northeast corner of the site had a detection of 0.00016 mg/mg3, all other samples collected during this week were below the detection limit.

June 15 - 19, 2015
SWPP controls and BMPs were inspected prior to work each day and necessary improvements were made. Approximately 4,000 cyds of contaminated material were excavated on the perimeter of the impoundment. Test pits were excavated on the west side of the impoundment to determine a possible new source for ecological barrier material. The area east of Goldfield Mine Road was countered. Approximately 2,500 cyds of contaminated material were excavated from the waste rock pile and placed on the impoundment. The horse chestnut tree previously on the impoundment was transplanted in the Mill Area. Clearing and grubbing of the Arrington borrow area continued, approximately 8 acres has been cleared to date. A total of nine air samples were collected during removal activities. The samples were analyzed for lead using NIOSH Method 7300. Sample results for the samples collected the week of June 8 were received, all samples were below the detection limit.

June 22 - 26, 2015
SWPP controls and BMPs were inspected onsite prior to work each day. Approximately 3,000 cyds of contaminated material were excavated south of Harrier Creek Road and the impoundment perimeter and placed on the impoundment. Approximately 5,000 cyds of contaminated material were excavated from the Mill Area and placed on the impoundment. Approximately 1,000 cyds cover soil was placed on the road slope east of Goldfield Mine Road and north of Harrier Creek Road to create a safe grade on the side of the roads. Soil suitable to promote growth was excavated from the borrow area and stockpiled. Shaping of the impoundment and storm water drainages continued. On June 22 - 23, START and RMC collected X-Ray fluorescence confirmation samples of bottom excavations in the Mill Area. In addition, two samples were collected for off-site analysis of total metals.
