1 <br /> Executive Summary <br /> American Soda, L.L.P. is submitting this 55th Quarterly Ground Water Monitoring Report <br /> in compliance with E.P.A. U. I. C. Area Permit CO3858-00000 Final Modification No. 9 <br /> (March 31, 2005), MLRB Hard Rock Mining Operation Permit No. M-99-002 (Technical <br /> Revision No. 4), and U. S. B. L. M. Sodium Lease Nos. C-0118328 and C-0118329 Record of <br /> Decision. The data presented in this document represents the time period from April 1, <br /> 2014 through June 30, 2014. The Piceance processing plant and well field were in <br /> temporary suspension of production operations status and no solution mining activity <br /> occurred during the report period. <br /> The hydrologic monitoring program for the current reporting period at the Yankee Gulch <br /> Sodium Minerals Project includes monitoring of eight key metals and 14 wet chemistry <br /> constituents from 22 sampling locations including five separate water bearing zones. <br /> Sampling points are positioned up gradient, down gradient, cross gradient, and in-panel <br /> in relation to the mining activity. Recording of water elevations and field parameters is <br /> completed in conjunction with collection of the water quality samples from each well. As <br /> a result of the high solids content of the dissolution aquifer, sampling is only reliably <br /> successful at one dissolution sample point. The completion of this well (21-3D) is in the <br /> upper portion of the dissolution aquifer where dissolved solids are somewhat less <br /> concentrated. Water levels in all three dissolution surface monitoring wells are being <br /> manually measured and recorded on a quarterly basis. One down stream private <br /> domestic ground water well (BURKE) is also sampled quarterly. <br /> Before American Soda commenced mining operations in 2000, fifteen months of baseline <br /> ground water data was collected. The current quarter monitoring data for each well is <br /> summarized in a one page table per well in this document. Not only is the raw data for <br /> the present reporting period included, but also regulatory standards and statistics are <br /> shown for comparison and, additionally, baseline and operational statistics are calculated <br /> for all data prior to the reporting period.
