    RIO ALGOM MINING LLC - AMBROSIA LAKE FACILITYDISCHARGE PERMIT - 71 (DP-71)

    SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT 2 nd Half 2012

    This report presents the activities and results of the monitoring and sampling requirements associatedwith DP-71 for the 2 nd half of 2012. DP-71 permit renewal was approved on December 1, 2003 andmonitoring requirements were expanded from previous monitoring commitments listed in the permit.This expansion has resulted in acquiring data that was not obtained in past monitoring programs. In2012, RAML submitted an updated application for DP-362 permit renewal that would include the DP-71 monitoring activities to New Mexico Environment Department, which is currently under review.

    Section 15A:Activities that included the remediation of the Section 4 lined evaporation ponds were conducted from2005 through 2009. There were no operations or soil removal activities conducted at the Section 4pond area during the 2nd half of 2012.

    Water was present in MW-32 and a sample was collected for analysis. Water was detected in MW-22,but a sample was un-attainable due to insufficient depth of the water column. The remaining wellsassociated with the permit were dry or contained insufficient water for sample.

    Exhibit 1 presents the time versus concentration plots and hydrographs for MW-22 and MW-32.Because of the deficiency of alluvial water in the Section 4 pond area, development of apotentiometric map for the alluvium is not practical.

    Rain showers occurred on October 11th & 12t, and November 10t. Snow showers occurred onDecember 9t, 10 , 14t, 15th, 19 th, 2 7th, & 28t.

    Section 151B:Exhibit 2 presents a table titled Section 4 Monitoring Wells, Analytical Results and Water LevelMeasurements for this reporting period. Exhibit 3 provides a table titled Section 4 Active MonitoringWells, Analytical Results and Water Level Measurements for a cumulative period since 2005.

    Section 15C:Exhibit 4 provides a copy of the signed laboratory analyses for this reporting period.

    Section 15D:Exhibit 1 presents the time versus concentration plots and hydrographs for MW-22 and MW-32 sinceapproximately 1995.
