• system. <br />Well GD3 was installed in the backfill material upgradient <br /> of well GD2 in D pit during July 1988. Figure A-10 presents the <br /> plat of data collected from well GD3. The rising water levels in <br /> the backfill material near well GD3 indicate that this area has <br /> yet to stabilize after mining. <br /> Figures A-I1, A-12 and A-13 present the water-level changes <br /> in the OR, HI, and Third and Second White Sandstone aquifers, <br /> respectively, at the GE site. Water levels in the OR and HI <br /> aquifers have risen in 1988. Levels in the Third and Second <br /> White Sandstone aquifer rose above the 1987 levels during 1988, <br /> but the 1988 levels showed little change during the year. Water- <br /> level rises have been much less in the Third and Second White <br />• Mi <br />h <br />f <br />i <br /> ng <br />as <br />er. <br />n <br />Sandstone and the greatest in the GR aqui <br /> occurred within 2000 feet of these wells in an adjacent <br /> underground permit, while mining in Trapper's C pit was <br /> approximately 6000 feet from these wells. The majority of the <br /> drawdowns observed at these wells were probably not from Trapper <br /> Mine dewatering. The reduction in the rate of recovery of water <br /> level should gradually occur as the length of time since <br /> dewatering increases. This is likely the cause of the slower <br /> rates of water-level recovery in the GE wells, but the decline in <br /> precipitation and/or the dewatering that started in the C pit in <br /> 1988 could also be the cause. <br /> Water levels in the GF wells are tabulated in Tables A-4, A- <br />• 5 and A-6 of Appendix A. Wells GF1 and GF3 are flowing wells, <br /> while the casing on well GF2 was extended in 1985 so it is no <br />2-7 <br />
