Executive Summary <br />American Soda, L.L.P. is submitting this 24th Quarterly Ground Water Monitoring <br />Report in compliance with E.P.A. U. I. C, Area Permit CO3858-00000 Final <br />Modification No. 9 (March 31, 2005), MLRB Hard Rock Mining Operation Permit <br />No. M-99-002 (Technical Revision No. 4), and U. S. B. L. M. Sodium Lease Nos. <br />C-0118328 and C-0118329 Record of Decision. The data presented in this <br />document represents the time period from July 1, 2006 through September 30, <br />2006. The Piceance processing plant and well field were in temporary <br />suspension of production operations status and no solution mining activity <br />occurred during the report period. <br />The current reporting period hydrologic monitoring program for the Yankee Gulch <br />Sodium Minerals Project includes quarterly monitoring of 63 metals and wet <br />chemistry constituents from 22 sampling locations including five separate water <br />bearing zones. One time per year, on a seasonally rotating basis, all <br />Baseline/Operational parameters required prior to the modification are included <br />in the sampling constituents. Sampling points are positioned up gradient, down <br />gradient, cross gradient, and in-panel in relation to the mining activity. <br />Recording of water elevations and field parameters is completed in conjunction <br />with collection of the water quality samples from each well. As a result of the <br />high solids content of the dissolution aquifer, sampling is only reliably successful <br />at one dissolution sample point. The completion of this well (21-3D) is in the <br />upper portion of the dissolution aquifer where dissolved solids are somewhat less <br />concentrated. Water levels in all three dissolution surface monitoring wells are <br />being manually measured and recorded on a quarterly basis. One down stream <br />private domestic ground water well (BURKE) is also sampled quarterly. <br />Before American Soda commenced mining operations in 2000, fifteen months of <br />baseline ground water data was collected. The current quarter monitoring data <br />for each well is summarized in a two page table per well in this document. Not <br />
