of the permit. Each parameter measurement reported was <br />compared to the range (maximum, minimum and average) of <br />parameters listed for each monitoring site. The parameters <br />measured were also compared to the instream numeric <br />standards for the Yampa River Basin (Region 12) discussed <br />in item no. 9 above. If a measurement was outside of its <br />normal range or above a numeric standard it is discussed <br />below. <br />Foidel Creek <br />-Site 8: <br />• During July and September; Conductivity at Site 8 <br />was reported above the maximum reported <br />conductivity at Site 800 and 14. TDS(Lab) levels <br />during August and September were higher than the <br />maximum levels reported for Site 8 and 14. TC <br />indicated the increase in Conductivity is likely a <br />result of increased discharge from Pond D as a result <br />of overflows with the Area 1 Pond which a partially <br />fed by mine water. <br />-Site 900: <br />• Bicarbonate was measured at 510 mg/1 on September <br />12, 2014. The maximum level recorded is reported <br />at 506 mg/l. <br />• Iron(Trec) exceeded the Water Quality Standards for <br />Segment 13b of the Yampa River Basin. However, <br />Site 14 and 800, upstream of the mine reported iron <br />level in exceedance of the standard in March of 2014. <br />Page 2.04-34 of the permit indicates the typical total <br />recoverable iron baseline concentrations during low <br />flow period average .55 mg/l, well below the table <br />standard for Iron. <br />Fish Creek <br />-Site 16A <br />• Iron(Trec) was above the table standard from the <br />March 31, 2014 reading. However, the level is <br />below the maximum level recorded at the site. <br />-Site 302 <br />0 Iron(Trec) was above the table standard from the <br />
