21 Geotechnical Evaluation Results No voids encountered in borings performed within Lamberts North footprint 2-meter voids found in some borings outside of footprint Stability analyses showed adequate factors of safety Site considered suitable for ash placement Site meets the requirements of the Conditions of Approval

22 Groundwater Evaluation Groundwater monitoring wells installed and sampled Groundwater model developed for shallow and deep aquifers Maximum groundwater level (MGL)at El Bottom of ash to be at least 4 m above MGL Sediment pond and ash pond to be lined and kept at least 1 m above MGL

23 Project Components Regrade site by cut-and-fill using existing spoil from open-cut mining operations Place fill to at least 4 m above maximum groundwater level Construct lined sediment pond and ash pond Construct perimeter bund on north and east sides of ash placement area Construct haul road using bottom ash Develop water management system to keep and re-use dirty water on site Divert clean, off-site stormwater away from the placement area
