occurred in 1993 in well GD-2 but water levels in well GD-3 lag the 1994 GD-2 response probably . <br />due to the larger storage value in this unconfined aquifer. Water levels remain stable and reflect <br />natural variations at well GP-9 showing that single high precipitation years do not greatly affect this <br />aquifer at well GP-9. <br />The GE wells (GE-1, GE-2, GE-3) are near the northwest corner of the PA. They are <br />completed in the QR, HI, and 2nd and 3rd White aquifers, respectively. Water levels for these wells <br />are presented in Figures A-6 and A-7. Weils GE-1 and GE-2 continue to show recovery since 1993 <br />while overall, GE-3 has remained steady after a decline from 1989 to 1992. The water level rise in <br />wells GE-1 and GE-2 could be due to a lag in recharge for these deeper aquifers or could be a result <br />of recovery after the B and C pit mining in this area. Figure A-7 also presents water levels for ~velis <br />81-03A and GLiJX-1 completed in the 3rd and 1st White Sandstone aquifers, respectively. At 81- <br />03A an increasing trend has been observed since 1993. This may be due to a decrease in dewatering • <br />at an adjacent underground mine but correlate well with the two wet years. Water levels a~ntinue <br />to gradually decline at well GLiJX-1. Its response is most likely due to seasonal variations with <br />small rises in both 1993 and 1995. <br />Figure A-8 presents water levels for wells GF-1, GF-7 and P-8. These wells are <br />completed in the 20 Mile, HI backfill and 3rd White Sandstone aquifers, respectively. Well GF-1 <br />is a are flowing well. Water levels in the GF-1 sharply declined from mid-1993 through early 1995. <br />An increase of approximately fifteen feet occurred in 1995. Water levels in this deep aquifer would <br />not be expected to quickly respond to either a ]ow or high precipitation event. The response in 1993 <br />was small while the drop and rise in 1994 and 1995 indicates a large response to the dry and wet <br />years. As with GF-5, GF-7 (both completed in an equivalent backfill) continues to gradually • <br />2-6 <br />
