• 1986 to November 1987 and an additional 6 1/2-feet through <br />December 1988. Recharge to the Third White Sandstone in this <br />area must be lower since 1987. These declines are thought to be <br />natural. <br />Water levels of Johnson Gulch alluvial well, J1, are <br />presented in Figure A-35. This plot shows fairly steady water <br />levels with a slight rise from June to December of 1987 for the <br />alluvial aquifer in this area. Levels for well J1 during 1988 <br />have shown little change. Mine discharge into Johnson Gulch has <br />maintained water level in this alluvial system during these dry <br />conditions. The Flume Gulch alluvial aquifer is monitored with <br />alluvial wells GC3 and COY. The water level in alluvial well COY <br />(see Figure A-36) remained fairly steady from May 1986 to <br />• September 1897. The September 1988 value shows a six feet drop <br />reflecting the decline in recharge to the alluvium. Figure A-8 <br />presents a decline in water levels for alluvial well GC3 during <br />1988. <br />Well 81-03a is completed in the Third White Sandstone. <br />Figure A-37 presents the water-level elevation data for well BS- <br />03a. Well head pressures for flowing well 81-03a were converted <br />to water-level elevation. Water levels presented have <br />considerable scatter, but present an overall rising trend since <br />data has been collected for this well. The water-level rises are <br />mainly thought to be caused from the recovery from the adjacent <br />underground mine dewatering. <br />The Glux-1 well was completed in the First White Sandstone <br />• in September 1988 in order to monitor pre-mine conditions <br />upgradient of the Lux domestic well prior to mining in Browning <br />2-12 <br />
