To add to Sara's email, the sand bags will he placed around the hoi! to create an enclosure around it. As the water rises from the boil it will fill the enclosure and increase the static hydrostatic pressure to the point: where it reverses flow in the boil (i.e, stops flow from the boil Into the pond), I learned over the past few days that this is a standard practice used to stop flows from a boil. The boil is emitting clear cold water now, but there is some evidence sediment has discharged from it in the past. This is why we plan to sand-bag it before water rises later this weekend. We will be sure to report tomorrow on success. Chris

We marked the location of the boils and revisited them today. We had 4 representatives from the USCE with us on our site visit today. We also had Keith Large. We brought the Corp of Engineers to pond 13A to see the boils. There was one boil that had sediment around it. We discussed options to address the boil and were told to place some sand bags around it

Travis: Chris Cerquone of NewFields and myself were on the Smurfit site yesterday afternoon. We visited Pond 13A and did not see cloudiness on the pond. We walked along the bank of the pond and found a couple of boils. They were running clean and were very cold compared to the pond water. We traveled the length of the berm and we did not see any erosion along the berm. NewFields is working on reports and I hope to have them to you this afternoon. We will be on site today. I have directed NewFields to obtain an environmental contractor that could respond quickly if we do see any problems with the berm. If you have questions or concerns, please call me atj Ex" 6 Thanks Sara Sparks, Sara Sent: Tuesday, May 15, 2018 9:46 AM To: 'Travis Ross' <tross@missoulacounty.us>; Keith Large <klarge@mt.gov>; Lawrence J.

Travis: We did not see the cloudy condition yesterday from looking at the water on site. We have NewField's out there today. They are putting together information from the inspections and we will get you that information as soon as possible. We will be watching the berms during the rise of the river water. If you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks Sara
