average precipitation in 2013 through 2015. The M aquifer (GP -7) is characterized by a very gradual <br />decline the last four years after steady water levels for the previous years. The KLM aquifer showed <br />a larger water -level decline in 2001 in well GP -8 and continued on a smaller decline rate in 2002 <br />through 2005 with a water level rise in 2006 and fairly steady levels in 2007 through 2014. A small <br />water level decline was observed in 2015 in well GP -8. A significant amount of well dewatering <br />occurred from the G pit area in 2015. <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 four 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 Pits K and L in 2015. The decrease in water levels in wells GD -2 <br />and GD -3 in 2006 were caused by deep exploration drilling in this area. Water levels in these two <br />wells gradually rose in 2007 and overall increased a larger amount in 2008. Water levels continued <br />to overall gradually rise into 2011 and 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 2015. 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 2015. 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 and a small decline in <br />2015 likely due to less recharge. Water -level changes are discussed in more detail in the following <br />section. <br />Trapper Mining Company 2-3 <br />2015 Annual Report <br />
