Narrative

Upon receiving a modification of a K-Order that was issued on D-Cell, we began filling D-Cell with water and tailings from the process plants. After we began discharging into D-Cell, the recently repaired area of the impoundment began to leak again. We immediately took action by discharging the water and tailings elsewhere.
