of water-level fluctuation which is all thought to be natural. <br />Figure A-b shows that water levels have shown little variation in <br />1488 indicating very little change in storage in the HI aquifer <br />in this area. Water levels responded to the increase in recharge <br />in 1984 and 1985. <br />The water levels from the Third White Sandstone well (GC2) <br />show that water levels had been fairly steady in this well from <br />1984 through 1987. The hydrograph for this well shows a slight <br />decline in late 1988. Water levels from well GC2 and GB2 indicate <br />that water levels in the Third White Sandstone have not <br />significantly been affected by the precipitation variations. The <br />hydrograph for alluvial well GC3 presents declining levels <br />through 1988. This corresponds well to the low amount of <br />• precipitation received in 1988. <br />The static water-level elevations for flowing well GD2 are <br />presented in Figure A-9. The well head pressures were converted <br />to feet of water above the well head to obtain these elevations. <br />Water levels had been rising in the DR aquifer at well GD2 for <br />most of 1986. The 1987 and 1988 water levels have shown an <br />overall decline since November 1986 to levels below those of <br />early 1986. The decline in water levels since 1986 is thought to <br />be mainly reflective of lower rates of recharge due to the <br />smaller precipitation amounts since 1986. Some of the past rise <br />could have been caused by increased ground water flowing <br />downgradient due to the mining and, therefore, some of the recent <br />decline in water level could be the result of levels returning to <br />• pre-mine conditions. The fluctuations seen in water levels for <br />well GD2 are thought to be mainly from natural changes in the OR <br />2-6 <br />
