The HI aquifer (GP -7) is characterized by a very gradual decline the last three years after steady water <br />levels for the previous years. The KLM aquifer showed a larger water -level decline in 2001 in well <br />GP -8 and continued on a smaller decline rate in 2002 through 2005 with a water level rise in 2006 <br />and fairly steady levels in 2007 through 2014. A small water level rise was observed in fourth <br />quarter 2014. A significant amount of well dewatering occurred from the G pit area in 2014. <br />Steady water levels had been observed in the previous four years in well GMP -1 while a <br />small increase was observed in 2005 through 2011 followed by steady levels the last three years. The <br />previous ten years show a water level rise due to the movement of Pit A to the east of this area. <br />Dewatering was produced from only Pit K in 2014. The decrease in water levels in wells GD -2 and <br />GD -3 in 2006 were caused by deep exploration drilling in this area. Water levels in these two wells <br />gradually rose in 2007 and overall increased a larger amount in 2008. Water levels continued to <br />overall gradually rise into 201 land then became overall steady in well GD -2 but declined in well <br />GD -3. The water levels in KLM well GP -2 overall increased from 2008 through 2011 but steadily <br />declined in 2012 through 2014. The previous decline could have been caused by the decrease in <br />recharge and mining in this area but the present declines are likely due to less recharge. Water level <br />in well GP -5 is useful in defining natural variations in the QR aquifer for 2014. Water levels in well <br />GP -5 show a rising trend from 1993 through 1998 with a smaller rising trend from 1998 to 2002. <br />Water levels in this well then were fairly steady for five years with another overall rise from 2007 <br />through 2011. Water levels in GP -5 were fairly steady in 2012 through 2014 likely due to less <br />recharge. Water -level changes are discussed in more detail in the following section. <br />2.1.2 WATER -LEVEL CHANGES <br />Water -level changes for 2014 are presented in Figures A -1 through A -11 in Appendix A. <br />The table in Appendix A lists all historical data for the Trapper Mine. The wells are grouped on the <br />Trapper Mining Company 2-3 <br />2014 Annual Report <br />
