8.  HDR, Ott Constructability, Dan Brown  Visit and boat tour of Rouchleau pit ◦ Access better than potrayed ◦ Challenging geotechnically  Viewed drilling operation

9.  E-1a and E-2 have similar conditions (fill over rock)  Large boulders (unknown size) and some of the hardest rock in the world  No experience drilling in this material  How long it will take to install foundations  Need to determine best foundation type and cost

10.  All work on E-1a haul road  One 8’ diameter drilled shaft ◦ Can it be constructed ◦ No load test  (2) 16” and 24” drilled pile ◦ 2 locations previously drilled ◦ Load test one 16” pile  July 25 th letting  Cost $3.5-5 million  Pre-bid meeting – July 9

11.  Minimize number of piers for any option  HDR to develop conceptsand cost estimates  E-1a ◦ Steel ◦ Concrete ◦ Delta Frame Arch  E-2 ◦ Steel ◦ Concrete ◦ Arch ◦ Delta Frame Arch

13.  Geological Mapping of faces  Boring at possible arch locations  Cost
