~ with the type of response pertinent to this evaluation. The final set of wells included in
' this evaluation was (in increasing depth): 87-86, 87-13, 87-9, D87-24, and D87-2S.
Table 2 presents the water chemistry for the ground water wells listed in Table 1. The
water quality data were summazized from information presented in the original mine
permit application. The ground water well chemistry is reported in a sequence of
increasing depth (or decreasing borehole bottom elevation). The depth-profile chemistry
shown in the data of Table 2 are consistent with the typical geochemical signature of a
mineralized azea.
