This year, no flow was observed. The historic (1996-2014) average flow <br />value is 0.054 cfs. The timing of flow value are collection affects <br />these averages. Review of this site's TDS plot indicates a decreasing <br />trend, with the peak occurring in August 1998. This pond receives <br />stormwater only (i.e., no spoils water). Baseline data for this site <br />(WSS3) has been provided in Appendix E1of the 2010 AHR. <br />- Surface Water Site SW-S2W-FG4 (WSSF3). This site is situated on Sage <br />Creek downstream of the impacts from the Seneca II -W Mine (NPDES 009 and <br />015). Monitoring of this site commenced in September 1990. No flow was <br />observed during the October site visit this year. This site displays an <br />increasing TDS trend, with the peak value occurring in April 2009. <br />Baseline data for this site has been provided in Appendix E1 of the 2010 <br />AHR. <br />Springs. Spring data may be found after surface water data in Appendix <br />E. Data provided are a water quality report for the past three years, <br />historic flow hydrographs and a LOWESS plot of TDS. Baseline water <br />quality statistics for springs downstream of mining (when available) has <br />been provided in Appendix E1 of the 2010 AHR. Springs with a flow less <br />than 5 gpm (0.011 cfs) are analyzed for field parameters only. In <br />Appendix E, all native springs have a WSPG prefix (e.g., Spring 5-45 = <br />WSPG45) while all spoil springs have a WSSPG prefix. <br />Spring 5-46 is a developed spring first monitored during the 1979 spring <br />survey. This spring became part of the required monitoring program in <br />2000. It is located immediately below the 005 Pond. The TDS plot <br />indicates an increasing trend; the peak value occurred this year in June <br />2014. <br />Spring 5-47 was first discovered by SCC personal in 1989 and was <br />initially monitored in June 1990. It is a developed spring existing <br />alongside the mine entrance haul road just to the west of the Seneca II - <br />W Meteorological Station. This spring became part of the required <br />monitoring program in 2000. Its TDS plot indicates an increasing trend; <br />however, the peak value occurred in July 2011. <br />20 <br />
