GROUNDWATER QUALITY OF THE AREA <br /> The compiled groundwater quality data were compared <br /> with Federal and State Applicable or Relevant and <br /> ' Appropriate Requirements (ARAR's) . The ARAR's were obtained <br /> from the Colorado Department of Health (1985) wa er quality <br /> numeric recommendations and standards. Table ix summarizes <br /> ' the ARAR's and water quality parameters which exceed <br /> applicable standards. /7 <br /> Sulfate, iron, fluoride, pH ROE and, 'manganese <br /> parameters were found to exceed applicable standards. <br /> Figure 19 shows the distribution of samples exceeding ARAR <br /> concentrations. with the exception of pH and ROE, the <br /> highest percentage of samples that exceed ARAR's are from <br /> Data Groups "B" and "C" . Over 60% of Data Group "C" samples <br /> and, 41 -` Data Group "B" samples exceed the ARAR' s for <br /> sulfate concentrations. Additionally, the ARAR <br /> ' concentration for dissolved iron is exceeded by 36% of the <br /> samples from Data Group "B" . Thirteen percent of the Group <br /> "C" samples exceed the ARAR for fluoride. Over 82% of the <br /> samples from Data Group "A" exceed the applicable water <br /> quality standard for pH. All of the samples (groups "A" , "B" y^� <br /> ' and "C") exceed the ARAR value (500mg/1) for ROE (TDS) . <br /> J\ // _ i� 14 AvA,�er <br /> 67 <br />
