Three new alluvial <br />monitoring wells (19-3, 21-5, and 28-1) were also constructed. <br />In summary, the 25 well completions at the Piceance Site include three Dissolution Surface <br />completions, six B Groove completions, six A Groove completions, six Uinta completions, and <br />four alluvial completions. Monitoring of the water supply well 20-8 (Uinta Formation) for water <br />quality provides monitoring of changing conditions resulting from operation of the test facility. <br />Table 1 includes a complete list of the Piceance Site wells. <br />2.1.2 Parachute Site Groundwater Monitoring Locations <br />American Soda will use at ]east one monitoring well to monitor groundwater quality and <br />water level at the Parachute processing site. The monitoring well will be completed at the base of <br />the Alluvial Aquifer to monitor for potential leakage from the process pond system. The <br />monitoring well will be situated down-gradient of the proposed pond, between the pond system <br />and Parachute Creek. <br />2.1.3 Lacnl Domestic Wel! Locations <br />Domestic wells included in this Water Monitoring Plan are two wells Located along <br />Piceance Creek, between the mouth of Horse Draw and the north edge of Section 15. One of the <br />domestic wells will be Horse Draw Well (fonnerly USBM OlA} located near the abandoned Horse <br />Draw shaft, and the other will be Burke's Well, located downstream of the Yankee Gulch site. <br />2.2 Groundwater Monitoring Program <br />Groundwater monitoring will consist of water-level measurement and water-quality sample <br />collection and analysis. The sampling frequencies, sampling methods, and water-quality <br />parameters are provided in this section. As described in Section 1.0, the groundwater monitoring <br />program is divided into two periods, a baseline period and the first 5 years of commercial <br />operations (operations period). The baseline data collection period includes monthly sampling <br />during 5 quarters preceding the startup of commercial operations as specified by the CDMG. <br />2.2.1 Water-Level Monitoring <br />Water level monitoring in all groundwater wells will be performed in accordance with the <br />procedures presented in Appendix B or in accordance with manufacturer's recommendation, <br />where automated water-level equipment is used. <br />• <br />Agapito Associates, Inc. <br />
