3. Findings <br />3.1 Groundwater Elevations <br />Measured depth to groundwater data (Table 1) were used to develop groundwater elevation <br />contours (Figure 2). Groundwater generally flows towards the south to the Arkansas River, as <br />reported by previous investigators (e.g., BBL, 2002; RGI 1999) with no significant changes noted <br />this sampling period. <br />3.2 Analytical Results <br />Laboratory analysis of the groundwater sample was conducted at STL's Denver, Colorado <br />facility. Results of the laboratory analyses are provided in Table 2. The Laboratory Data Report <br />is provided as Appendix A. <br />Concentrations of metals and other constituents measured in groundwater were compared with all <br />applicable CDPHE groundwater quality standards {CDPHE, 2001). Where multiple standards <br />exist for a single constituent, the most stringent standard was used. The concentration of sulfate <br />in groundwater collected at monitoring well MW-10 was 2,000 milligrams per liter (mg/L). This <br />concentration exceeded the CDPHE secondary drinking water standard. The selenium <br />concentration, 0.20 mg/L, exceeded the CDPHE agricultural standard. The manganese <br />concentration, 0.12 mg/L, exceeded the CDPHE secondary drinking water standard. These data <br />were consistent with previous groundwater sampling results for this monitoring well as shown in <br />Appendix B. <br />toaaa999aaa~ 3-1 <br />
