determine groundwater pathways throughout the Superfund site, which will serve <br /> to identify possible treatment pathways for the feasibility study of the Superfund <br /> Site-wide groundwater (operable unit 12) as well as OU 6 specific groundwater <br /> issues. <br /> CDPHE — Point of Compliance: Students in CMC NRM were responsible for <br /> measurements of three water quality parameters: pH, conductivity, and <br /> temperature, at eight different sites throughout Leadville, CO. The sites were <br /> measured four times daily; all data collected was transferred into the NRM <br /> database, and was then e-mailed to the Colorado Department of Public Health <br /> and Environment for interpretation. A high-flow sampling plan was developed <br /> and submitted to the CDPHE in January of 2003 for review. NRM will provide <br /> safety and sampling support in May 2003 for this project if approved. <br /> RMC Summitville: NRM provided field support to Rocky Mountain Consulting <br /> for assistance in a sampling event. The project was located at the Summitville <br /> Mine and included 30 mines of the Alamosa River. In this situation, one NRM <br /> student was assigned to assist RMC employees in surface water sampling, <br /> sediment sampling, and integrated depth sampling in two reservoirs. Along with <br /> that, water-gaging stations along the Alamosa River were calibrated and <br /> maintained. <br /> RMC Groundwater Sampling (CDPHE): NRM provided field support to Rocky <br /> Mountain Consulting (RMC) for assistance in an annual ground water sampling <br /> event for the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. This <br /> project involved sampling from over 40 wells in the Leadville Superfund Site. At <br /> the same time the student involved conducted a ground water extension to the <br /> Dye tracer study using the same wells. <br /> Pueblo Board of Water Works: NRM was hired to reestablish a riparian habitat <br /> along the east banks of Columbine Ditch. Columbine Ditch is property of the <br /> Pueblo Board of Water Works. This ditch diverts water from the western slope <br /> over the divide into the Arkansas River watershed. The project required several <br /> students to transplant and water willows. Transplantation involved the clipping <br /> and bundling of willow branches that were later soaked for 48 hours and buried in <br /> the ground. Once they were planted, the willows were monitored, maintained, <br /> and watered three times a week. NRM will continue this project in summer 2003. <br /> BLM — Fremont Pass Reclamation: For the Bureau of Land Management, the <br /> NRM was responsible for inventorying and evaluating the nature and extent of <br /> erosional sources throughout the length of the closed portion of Fremont Pass. <br /> This project was funded in part by a grant procured by the U.S. BLM, for which <br /> NRM provides grant administration assistance. These erosional zones had <br /> historically been contributing significant sedimentation to the Arkansas River <br /> headwaters area. NRM surveyed and classified each erosional area by feature <br /> and also implemented a monitoring strategy. Currently the NRM is in the phase <br />
