Box 882580 23880 US Hwy 40 <br />$taamboat Sprfng~, CO 80488 <br />--~00 FAX (970) 870-0280 <br />Enclosed aze copies of the water quality analyses for samples collected last August from the Teilier <br />and Anderson residence wells, and Last May from the monitoring well neaz the Teilier Pit. I have <br />compared the analyses with national drinking water standazds in Table t through Table 3 (see <br />attachments). All of the tested parameters met drinking water standards and were significantly <br />below levels that aze considered to present human health risks. <br />Table 4 in the enclosed attachments is a summary of the Teilier Pit sand and gravel mining activities <br />with their associated potential pollutants, potential impact on surface and ground water, and analytes <br />that should be tested to identify the pollutants. Based on the activity at the Teilier Pit, Connell <br />Resources recommends that our annual ground water testing be limited to pH, Total Dissolved <br />Solids (TDS), Oil and Grease, Extractable Total Hydrocazbons, and BTEX (benzene, toluene, <br />ethyibenzene, and xylenes}. The EPA recommends that ground water drinking supply wells should <br />be annually tested for colifotm bacteria and nitrates. These potential pollutants are most likely <br />related to septic systems and fertilizers. Although Connell Resources activities at the Teilier Pit wilt <br />not contribute colifotm bacteria or nitrates to the ground water system, we will conduct these tests <br />as a gesture of goodwill. <br />If there aze any questions or additional information needed please contact Tony or myself at 870- <br />0200. <br />Since~rely~, ~y, <br />/ %~~'y <br />Arthur M.
