Wells GP-1, GP-5 and GP-6 are useful in defining natural variations in the QR • <br />aquifer for 2000. Water levels in wells GP-5 and GP-6 show a rising trend from 1995 <br />through 1998 with fairly steady water levels the last two years. Water levels in well GP-i <br />have been declining significantly over the last two years. Well GP-8 is used as a baseline <br />for precipitation/recharge impacts on the IaM aquifer in 2000 and showed a gradual <br />decline in water levels during 2000. <br />Figure A-1 presents water levels versus time for wells GB-1, GB-5, GF-5 and P-5. <br />The wells are completed in the KLM, HI, HI bacldll and 2nd White Sandstone aquifers, <br />respectively. Figure A-1 shows steady increases in water levels for GB-1 since air-lift <br />production ceased in 1993. Recovery in this well may still be from the earlier air-lift <br />production. Water levels in wells GB-5 and GF-5 were steady in 2000, while water levels in • <br />well P-5 stayed low in this aquifer in 2000. HI well GP-7 (Figure A-il) should show natural <br />variations in the HI aquifer for 2000 and water levels in this well showed a small decline in <br />2000. Water levels continue to rise in well GB-2, probably in response to recovery at its <br />location downgradient of a reclaimed pit (see Figure A-2). <br />The GC wells (GC-1, GC-2, GC-3, see Figure A-3) are located near the northeast <br />comer of the permit area (PA) slightly greater than 1000 feet from mining activity in 2000. <br />These wells are completed in the HI, 3rd White and alluvial aquifers, respectively. The <br />water-level changes in these wells may not still be good indicators of natural recharge <br />impacts on these aquifers due to the upgradient mining. Water levels in well GC-1 were <br />higher in 2000 than they were in 1999. Water levels in wells GC-2 and GC-3 both show a <br />similar gradual water-level decline in 2000. The declines in these two wells are probably • <br />2-4 <br />
