2 <br />Whether or not you can locate this monitoring station, a temporary monitoring station should be <br />installed just below the mine road opposite (more or less) the location of monitoring station 2. <br />Within a few feet or yards of the road, the water should be shallow enough to install a staff gage, <br />set deep enough to allow measurement of two or three feet of water level decline as the area is <br />drained as planned. As the water level is lowered, the datum of this staff gage may need to be <br />adjusted downward to continue measuring declining water levels. When at some point the <br />original monitoring station can be found and accessed, the temporary staff gage can be replaced <br />with the rehabilitated equipment, i.e. monitor well. and staff gage of monitoring station 2. <br />Monitoring stations 6, 11, and 12 were not found during our April 30 field visit. Temporary <br />monitoring stations should be located and installed according to the procedure recommended for <br />monitoring station 2; when these stations are located as water levels recede, they can be replaced <br />or rehabilitated, as recommended for monitoring station 2. Monthly monitoring is recommended <br />for stations 6, 11, and 12. <br />Monitor well 7 is intact, fully operational, is currently being accessed for water level <br />measurements, and can be accessed to measure water levels at monthly intervals for both the <br />temporary and permanent monitoring plans. <br />
