  ...
  KEVIN A. MORIN, Ph.D., P.Geo. PRESIDENT, MORWIJK ENTERPRISES LTD.
  ...
  Kevin Morin has 30 years of experience in the fields of hydrogeology, geochemistry, environmental impact assessment, and computer modelling related to mining and industrial activity. He specializes in the design and implementation of field and laboratory studies and in the development and utilization of conceptual and mathematical models for the environmental and geological sciences. This experience encompasses nearly 200 proposed, operating, and closed mining operations, more than twenty industrial sites, 4 commercial/urban developments, and 7 detailed computer programs. These projects have been located on all continents of the world, except Antarctica, and in widely diverse biogeoclimatic zones.
  
  Dr. Morin is an author or co-author of more than 90 publications and Internet case studies on various aspects of geochemistry, contaminant migration, hydrogeology, waste management, and environmental protection. He is also co-author of the first textbook on drainage chemistry from various minesite components, entitled Environmental Geochemistry of Minesite Drainage: Practical Theory and Case Studies . His professional positions in university, consulting, research, and regulatory enforcement provide a wide expertise in overall environmental management and protection.
  
  Dr. Morin is a registered Professional Geoscientist in the Province of British Columbia and Licensed Hydrogeologist in the U.S. State of Washington. He is a member of the International Association of Hydrogeologists (Canadian National Chapter) and the Association of Groundwater Scientists and Engineers of the National Ground Water Association.

  The "Wheel" (Figure 1) represents the current state-of-the-art approach for predictions of drainage chemistry, including pH and metal concentrations, that is being used at many minesites around the world (Morin and Hutt, 1997a).
  ...
  Nevertheless, there is still opportunity for significant error when one test, like laboratory humidity cells, provide unique information that cannot be confirmed by another test (Morin and Hutt, 1998).
  ...
  Human misinterpretation remains the major cause of predictive errors (Morin and Hutt, 1997b and 1998).
  ...
  As explained on pages 178 and 179 of Morin and Hutt (1997a), there is a popular static test often called the "NAG" (Net Acid Generation) Test (e.g., Miller et al., 1994 and 1997; Miller, 1996 and 1998).

  While this can occur in small-scale tests like humidity cells (Morin and Hutt, 1997), this may not happen in full-scale mine-rock piles.
  ...
  Island Copper's North Dump is a Type 3 Mine-Rock Pile (Morin and Hutt, 1997).
  ...
  In laboratory-scale tests, sulphate has already been identified as an early-warning indicator of acidic conditions (Morin and Hutt, 1997).
  ...
  This is due to the close correlation of pH and copper which allowed detailed predictions of future water chemistry and short-term (one-hour) fluctuations (Morin and Hutt, 1993; Morin et al., 1994).
  ...
  However, sulphate will not act as a reliable indicator if its concentrations are already limited by solubility of minerals like gypsum, because the concentrations would not reflect actual reaction rates inside the mine-rock pile (e.g., Morin and Hutt, 1993).

  ...
  The results of these methods can disagree by orders of magnitude, as can repetitive testing of similar samples (e.g., Case Study 5.2.5-1 in Morin and Hutt, 1997 and 2001 ). Thus, where grain-surface area is important for predicting aqueous concentrations, the presumed inaccuracy or "error bar" should be at least one order of magnitude.

  We believe every cycle should be analyzed until a cell is generally stable geochemically, often around 30-40 weeks into testing (Morin and Hutt, 1997, 1999, and 2001).

  UNP, often around 5-15 kg/t, has been discussed elsewhere (Morin and Hutt, 1997 and 2001).

  This is not a simple task, because several assumptions must be made about the minerals and about the water into which they are dissolving (Morin and Hutt, 2006).

              Each mineral that dissolved and precipitated in SpreadBal-2002 simulations for the portal (Table 3) and humidity cells (Tables 4 and 5) can be associated with a certain amount of acidity neutralization or generation (Section 2 and Morin and Hutt, 2006).
