• Spring and Seep Survey <br />A preliminary spring/seep survey of the New Elk and <br />Golden Eagle permit and adjacent areas was conducted using aerial <br />photographs. Twenty=two potential sites were identified, as shown <br />on Map 7, Regional Hydrology. Known springs and seeps previously <br />identified by the USGS were first examined for characteristic <br />features which were then applied to the area of interest. Primary <br />selection criteria included anomalous green vegetation and the <br />presence of deciduous trees along drainage bottoms. Features sued <br />for selection of individual sites are summarized in Table 10, <br />Preliminary Spring/Seep Survey Locations. Stock pond and windmill <br />locations are also plotted on Map 7, Regional Hydrology. <br />WFC completed field verification and sampling of springs <br />or seeps on May 9 and 19, 1984. The area investigated was slightly <br />larger than one mile surrounding the New Elk and Golden Eagle <br />• permit boundaries. Twenty springs or seeps were identified. Nine <br />of these fall within one mile of the permit boundaries. The <br />results of this inventory are presented in Table 11, Results of <br />Field Spring and Seep Inventory. The locations are shown on Map 7, <br />Regional Hydrology. These locations were monitored as per permit <br />requirements throughout the 1984 growing season and August 1985. <br />Parameters measured were pH, flow, conductivity and temperature. <br />During the field investigation, no distinction was made <br />between springs or seeps. It appeared that most of the water <br />encountered was a <br />L~ <br />2.04-17(a) (Revised 09/01/89) I <br />(Revised 01/04/94) <br />
