' Giles and Brogden (1978) reported the results of water quality <br />analyses of samples collected in streams, springs, and wells of the <br />Yampa River Basin in 1974 and 1975. Approximately 27 samples were <br />collected and analyzed for bacteria, trace elements, common ions, <br />temperature and pH. Temperature and specific conductivity results <br />in the vicinity of Taylor Creek are listed in Table 2. Fifteen <br />wells were sampled in the vicinity of the Colowyo Mine. The <br />average specific conductivity measured in the wells was 1390 mmhos <br />and the range was almost as large as that for the surface water <br />samples, 720 to 2700 mmhos. <br />After three years of data collection, the main conclusion reached <br />by Giles and Brogden was a confirmation of the general alkalinity <br />of the water and the recognition of the variability of quality in <br />both surface and groundwater. <br />Permit Area <br />LRCWE (1979) reported measurements for temperature and specific <br />conductance of streams, springs or seeps, and wells in the vicinity <br />of the mine. Many of the sites visited during the investigation <br />• were those inventoried by others during previous investigations in <br />1974 and 1975. <br /> <br />2.04.7-13 <br />
