<br />obtained to verify pres:sure transducer data. The data from water level devices will be <br />retained by WRN and will be summarized within the hydrology monitoring reports <br />submitted to the BLM and EPA. <br />SECTION II -SURFACE WATER MONITORING PLAN <br />1.0 SEEPS AND SPRINGS <br />All seeps and springs located within the projected cone of depression of the water <br />supply well are to be inventoried and monitored per the BLM ROD. In compliance with <br />this stipulation, Wright Water Engineers was engaged to project the extent of the cone <br />of depression resulting from pumping the water supply well. The basis for the modeling <br />and projection of the cone of depression was nearly four times the actual average <br />pumping rate through 1998. The cone of depression was projected to extend to Ryan <br />Gulch, but not to location of any know springs in the gulch or springs elsewhere. In <br />addition, WRN conducted field and literature surveys to determine whether any springs <br />or seeps existed within the cone of depression. No springs or seeps exist within the <br />cone of depression, and consequently, no monitoring plan for seeps and springs was <br />required. <br />2.0 Stream Gauging Stations <br />WRN, through a cooperative agreement with Rio Blanco County and the USGS, <br />provides funding for operation of two stream gauging stations. One station is up stream <br />and one down stream of the WRN operation on Yellow Creek. WRN will resume <br />funding the two Piceance Creek stations (Ryan Gulch and Piceance Creek at White <br />River) if American Socla discontinues the Piceance Operation.
