RE:FNNND Engaged in all Stages of the Eagle Mine
RE:FNNND Engaged in all Stages of the Eagle MineJohn McConnell and on-site Victoria Gold managed and controlled the Eagle operation. YG, FNNND, the water board etc etc had zero to do with operation of the mine daily, monthly or yearly. The group that operated the mine will be found to have a large majority and or all of the blame for the disaster. KenoHillYT wrote: This is an interesting document and comments on what was built. It is absoulutely amazing what "ALL" parties that were invlved designed, engineered, constructed and then decided to "load" the heap for operations.
YTG, EMR, Water Board, YESAB, FNNND all got the chance to review this mine and the construct of the HLF/HLP. Where they comfortable with it, maybe not, but everyone still signed off ot allowed it ot proceed.
Have a read, take a peek Figure 3: HLF cross-section Page 16 read the backgound it's massive, and then the Court Transcripts.
There are are so many possible points of failure that it defies imagination of this idea that the in-heap tech would keep everything under control. Should any of the heap stabilization parameters go out of what was expected it's increadible to eleive that a potential "slurry of dynamic storage" and anything below wouldn't just cause an avalanche. Especially if anything below was already under "stress".
Why did the heap collapse, simple stabiility, it went out of control and caused a chan reaction. (imo)
Why?
Take a look at the diagram. Think saturation, subduction and or a combination of any number of other permutations.
It would be shocking indeed if YG and any or all parties involved ever designed or allowed such a design to be recreated.
Hint - Looks like a slippery slope ;) when you think about it.
