Below are the details of that plan. <br />Well tecord tattulations were reseazched at the Office of the State Engineer to determine the , <br />approximate location of listed wells within 1/4 mile of the mining property. From that <br />information, we determined likely candidates based on distances from the mining site and depth <br />of well. A site visit was made to field locate the wells and make a final determination as to the <br />suitability of the well for [he monitoring plan. The enclosed map indicates the six chosen wells <br />imrelation to the current mining site and the permitted future mining site. <br />Well #1 (Mike's well) is located upgradient, approximately 750 feet west, of the currently <br />dewatered azea, and approximately 350 feet north of Mr. Andrews' residence. Well #2 (Downer <br />well) Is located less than 100 feet south of the currently dewatered area, and approximately 650 <br />feet north and'east of Mrs. Wolfs' residence. Well #3 (Old Batch Plant) is located approxunately <br />550 feet east of the currently dewatered area and less than 200 feet west (upgradient) of the next <br />mining azea. Wells # 4, 5, and 6 (Greeley North, Jockey Pump, and Greeley South) are located <br />downgradient frosty the next mining area, in Island Grove Pazk. All three are between <br />approximately! 1,000 feet and 1,600 feet from the permit boundary. <br />The. wells will be monitored by an employee of Bucklen Equipment, on a monthly basis for the <br />first xeaz (Aug. `95 to Aug. `96), and will be monitored quarterly there after until mining <br />activities cease at this site. Once a year, water level measurements will be taken by an <br />independent contractor to help validate the data. All wells to be monitored are existing wells. <br />AH water level measurements will be taken after the pumps have been inactive for a sufftcient <br />length of time 4o allow the groundwater to reach a static level. <br />~1g9DGr S eet, Suite 410 • Dt;rlver,.Golorado, 80233 • {03)452-6611 • Fax 03) 48 h ` <br />
