1996-083. Conductivity was above average at the majority
projected in mining
regulation 2.03.3(1)
of the sites when compared to baseline data.
The water quality reported for a majority of surface water
sites fell within the baseline ranges. Higher than average
parameters were identified both at sites affected by mining
and those not affected by mining. See Table 3 below.
Ground water— No material damage has occurred, as
discussed in item 21, above. However, ground water wells
DH -15, DH -25, DH -38, and DH -67B were identified as being
destroyed, blocked, or otherwise inaccessible. As such, no
data has been collected from these sites. A determination
of compliance cannot be made due to a failure to collect and
submit the required data.
The PHC predicts that leachate from the coal stockpiles and
refuse areas could impact water quality on the North Fork of
the Gunnison River, and notes that water quality
degradation is to be expected in the alluvial wells installed
along the river, but that the impact on the North Fork of the
Gunnison should be minimal. Based on the information in
the 2014 AHR, data for the alluvial wells does indicate a
general degradation in water quality based on comparisons
with baseline averages. See Table 2 below
