<br />-20- <br />The samples from the alluvial wells show the groundwater in the alluvium to <br />vary from a low Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) of 3240 mg/1 to 7110 mg/1. TDS <br />for the Upper Sandstone Facies varied from a low of 420 mg/1 at 310136-2p to a <br />high of 1790 mg/1. The range in TDS for the Siltstone and Coal Facies varies <br />from a low of 325 mg/1 at 310135-4m to a high of 5748 mg/1 at the Staley House <br />well. The range in TDS in the Lower Sandstone Facies varies from a low of 810 <br />mg/1 TDS at Well 310135-4L to a high of 2100 mg/1 TDS at well 21012-7 TW-L. <br />The results of the groundwater analysis indicates that the quality of the <br />water in the alluvium is poorer than that in the three facies zones. <br />Ground Water Monitoring Program <br />The ongoing monitoring program being conducted by Western Fuels involves <br />sampling the following bedrock and alluvial wells within the permit area: <br />Well No. Monitored Stratum Monitoring Frequency* <br />Qal-2 Red Wash Outwash Monthly <br />Qal-5 Scullion Gulch Outwash " <br />21012-7u Upper Sandstone Facies Quarterly <br />21012-7m Siltstone and Coal " <br />21012-7L Lower Sandstone " <br />21012-7tw-u Upper Sandstone " <br />21012-7tw-L Lower Sandstone " <br /> <br />21012-17u Upper Sandstone " <br />21012-17m Siltstone and Coal " <br />21012-17L Lower Sandstone " <br />21012-17tw-m Siltstone and Coal " <br /> <br />21014-20u Upper Sandstone " <br />21014-20L Lower Sandstone " <br />310135-4u Upper Sandstone Facies Quarterly <br />310135-4m Siltstone and Coal " <br />310135-4L Lower Sandstone " <br />310136-2u Upper Sandstone Facies " <br />
