To monitor ground water flow in Deep Creek Canyon Two wells will be constructed, the location of which are indicated on the accompanying figure. Hole W-10 will be an alluvial/colluvial completion, while W-20 will be open to the "A" and "B" seams. Each well will be monitored monthly for water level, and quarterly for the previously stipulated parameters.
