Mr. Kent Gorham November 16, 1994 Page 3 Currently these wells are required to be monitored semi-annually for water levels, field parameters, and water quality samples. As cured to the cisrent re~~iremetrts, one water quality sample per site was omitted during 1993. However, these omissions were offset by four additional field parameter aryl water level visits per site occurring on a monthly basis during June through September 1993. Stevens Clilch Colluvial Monitorira Wells SMOl: The above noted well is located adjacent to arri upgradient from the potential subsidence zone. A substantial pre-mining water quality database had been established for this location prior to 1993. Monthly water level and field parameter data collected beginning in May 1993 gave no irriication that impacts of any type might be occurring at this location. COVCC interned to collect a water quality sample for docwrentation purposes in the fall of 1993, however, a dispute with the larriowner on whose property this well was established precluded this effort and was rat resolved in time to provide the opportunity to collect a sat~le during 1993. Currently this well is required to be monitored semi-annually far water levels, field parameters, and water quality savg>les. As oottq~ared to current requirements, two water quality samples were omitted during 1993. These omissions were offset by two additional water level and field parameter visits occurring on a monthly basis in June and July 1993. In addition, extensive data collection from wells SM02 and SM09, both completed within the same aquifer monitored by well SMO1, was aocrn~lished during 1993. As compared to current requirements, 1993 monitoring of wells SM02 arri SM09 paoduoed twenty-two additional water level and field parameter visits arri six additional water quality samples. Consequently, shallow graudwater in the vicinity of well SMO1 was carefully monitored aIld evaluated even though the particular monitoring r-a~rniirements in effect at well SMOl were not met. SM03: Well SM-3 is located outside the potential subsidence zone. No mining which could be reasonably expected to affect this shallow aquifer has taken place to date. .~dvanoe mining occurred in the vicinity of this well during 1981 and 1982. A sufficient hydrology database consisting of water level, field parameter, and water quality information had been established prior to 1993 to define the hydrology at this location. During 1993, no new mining activities with the potential of creating detectable impacts occurred in the vicinity of well SM03. Currently this tell is not required to be monitored further until one year prior to reinitiating development. of the Fast Mine. As owtgaared to current requirements, no monitoring omissions occurred during 1993; five additional water level and field parameter visits oocisred and one additional water quality sample
