source of water in the vicinity for the previously mentioned uses. Surface water in Calamity and <br />Tuttle Draws, as well as the monitored tributaries, is not suitable for use as a source of drinking <br />water. WFC has knowledge of irrigation being conducted using water from Calamity (Mr. Mel <br />Statts, south of WFC Permit Boundary and bordering Calamity Draw). However, all surface water <br />monitored at sites established in the New Horizon 2 area fall into suitability criteria for livestock <br />drinking water and irrigation. Livestock and wildlife commonly use Calamity and Tuttle Draws as <br />sources of drinking water. As long as the Colorado Co-operative Company continues to operate <br />the ditch system, there will remain a sufficient supply of water well suited for domestic (drinking), <br />agricultural and livestock use. <br />EFFECTS OF MR-52 ON THE HYDROLOGICAL MONITORING PROGRAM <br />Pursuant to the successful application for bond release on much of the New Horizon I mine area, <br />effective November 2001, the following water monitoring sites were abandoned: <br />GroundWater (GW) Surface Water (SW) <br />GW-N1 (4"dia well) GW-N10 GW-N11 Spoil Spring #1 Spoil Spring #3 <br />GW-N24 GW-N25 GW-N26 NPDES 002 NPDES 003 <br />GW-N28 GW-N4 GW-N4R NPDES 004 NDPES 005 <br />NPDES 006 NPDES 001 <br />The monitoring wells abandoned were closed as per state regulations. Monitoring wells GW-N3, <br />GW-N8, GW-N9 and GW-N27 will be left open, but not monitored until required by the State at <br />some as yetto be determined date. The monitoring and the reclamation obligation ofwell GW N1 P1 <br />(2" dia) was transferred to Montrose County, CO for their use at the old county landfill. Monitoring <br />records for the abandoned sites can be found in the Annual Hydrology Reports filed by WFC with <br />the State of Colorado. <br />2.04.7-48
