JOHN W. SHOMAKER,~C. <br />GEOLOGY-HYDROGEOLOGY <br />2703 BROADBENT PARKWAY NE, SUITE D <br />ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO 87107 <br />_ . ~ (505) 3453407 <br /> <br />PROPOSED WORK PLAN FOR WATER QUALITY MONITO~2ING <br />John W. Shomaker, Inc. and professional associates wall conduct <br />routine monitoring of water quality parameters at specified <br />points within the drainage basin affected by the Bat~le Mountain <br />gold mining operations. The precise parameters to be monitored <br />will be defined by the parties involved at the onset of the <br />contract, and will ensure compliance with all state of Colorado <br />and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency standards. Project <br />staff from John W. Shomaker, Inc. will work with the parties <br />involved to provide technical guidance in identifyin and <br />selecting these parameters. In order to facilitate eaningful <br />data collection by all parties, John W. Shomaker, In and <br />professional associates propose that: <br />(a) Specified sampling sites be designated where al~ water <br />quality samples are to be collected on a regula basis. <br />(b) Sampling conducted by all parties will be done egularly at <br />a uniform time and date to avoid any discrepanc'es between <br />collected samples. Sampling frequency will be ~efined by <br />the parties involved at the onset of the contra t. Ensuring <br />uniformity in the timing and frequency of sampling, and in <br />the parameters analyzed, will eliminate any pos~ible <br />conflicts in the comparison of methodologies. <br />(c) Collected samples will be stored in a laboratory certified <br />container, and delivered within 24 hours to an SPA-certified <br />laboratory for analysis of all parameters. <br />(d) The laboratory analysis will be interpreted by appropriate <br />project staff to identify and describe any pote tial adverse <br />environmental impacts which may be evident, and to describe <br />suitable corrective measures which should be ta~Cen to <br />mitigate these adverse impacts. <br />(e) Copies of the laboratory analysis and interpret'ption of data <br />will be delivered immediately for review and cohwent by the <br />parties involved. <br />
