3.6 SPRING AND SEEP WATER QUALITY • <br />Table B-2 in Appendix B presents the water-quality data for the springs and seeps <br />at the Trapper Mine. 1'he locations of the springs and seeps that were flowing in 2000 are <br />shown on Maps 2-1, 2-2 and 2-3. Flow from the springs and seeps are shown on Table B- <br />2, which shows that several springs exceeded 5 gpm in their discharge rate in 2000. <br />Water quality from the springs and seeps are similar to the ground-water quality for the <br />site. The TDS from Johnson Gulch spring is much higher than the remainder of the <br />springs' water quality. This springs' TDS is similar to that observed from backfill well GF-7. <br />A substantial decline in TDS in the backfill aquifer at well GF-7 will likely be necessary for <br />the TDS concentrations in the Johnson Gulch spring to decline. An increase in TDS <br />concentrations was observed in the East Pyeatt Spring in 2000. The laboratory <br />'conductivity for Fox Den Spring for the first half of 2000 of less than one has to be an error • <br />based on the field conductivity and TDS for this sample. This value should not be used. <br />• <br />3-12 <br />
