In this quarter, no discharges were observed at <br />Points 005, 009, 011, and 014. Intermittent flows were observed at <br />Point 013. <br />Vehicle access to Points 004, 005, 008, 009, 010, 015, 016 and 017 <br />this quarter was intermittent due to muddy or snowpacked roads. <br />Monthly visits were performed by snowmobile or snowshoe. <br />Seneca was issued a new CDPS permit effective November 1, 2006. As <br />this date fell within the middle of a calendar quarter, it presented a <br />problem as to which sets of DMR`s to use (i.e., the DMR's issued under <br />the old permit or the new permit). After consulting with Andrew <br />Nuehart and Leslie Simpson of the WQCD, it was decided that, if a <br />parameter was common to both the new and old permits, then all data <br />for that parameter collected in the fourth quarter would be reported <br />on the new DMR's (with a `from' date of 06-11-01) If a parameter was <br />only required under the old permit (total iron, suspended solids and <br />WET testing at some outfalls), that data would be reported on the old <br />DMR's (with a `from' date of 06-10-01) In cases where an old DMR was <br />used, the words "old DMR" or "old permit" were written in red ink on <br />the upper right corner of the DMR. <br />The new CPDS permit contains outfalls with MN prefixes for quarterly <br />trace metal monitoring and wT prefixes for chronic WET tests.
