on the KLM aquifer in 1998 and showed gradual water-level rise in 1998 with a decline in • <br /> GP-2 water levels in the second half of 1998. <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 backfill 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 have slightly increased in wells GB-5 and GF-5 in the last few <br /> years. HI wells GC-1 and GP-7 should show natural variations in the HI aquifer for 1998 <br /> and their water levels have shown a small rise in 1998. Water-level elevations in well P-5 <br /> have been fairly steady for the last three years. Water levels continue to rise in well GB-2, <br /> probably in response to recovery at its location downgradient of a reclaimed pit (see Figure <br /> 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) nearly two miles from mining activity. These wells are <br /> completed in the HI, 3rd White and alluvial aquifers, respectively. The water-level changes <br /> in these wells are good indicators of natural recharge impacts on these aquifers. Water <br /> levels in well GC-1 rose due to spring recharge in 1998. Water levels in wells GC-2 and <br /> GC-3 both show a similar water-level rise in the Spring and a decline in the 2nd half of <br /> 1998. Increases were observed in all three wells due to the increased 1998 precipitation. <br /> The alluvial aquifer response is generally of a larger magnitude. <br /> Figure A-4 presents the static water-level elevations for wells GD-2, GD-3 and <br /> GP-9. These wells are completed in the QR, QR backfill and 3rd White Sandstone aquifers. <br /> In 1997 and 1998, water levels at GD-2 have varied over an annual range of five to nine <br /> 2-4 <br />
