Surface Water Monitoring - Springs <br />The five (5)springs to be monitored monthly in the north half of <br />the Dry Fork basin have been observed during each site visit this <br />year with field parameters and flow rates taken if sufficient flow <br />was present. These data are presented in Table 28. <br />Site visits were made to the springs specified for quarterly field <br />water quality sampling and flow measurements. The measurements <br />were made at the appropriate springs if flow was present. These <br />data are presented in Tables 30 & 31. <br />Ground Water Monitoring <br />Monthly static water level measurements were taken at the required <br />eighteen (18) well locations. The results are shown in Tables 9 <br />thru 26, and on Figures 1 through 18. Water level trends, except <br />for those in wells 23-H-3 and 23-H-4 (Figures 3 and 9), are <br />essentially unchanged form 1983. The noticeable rise in water <br />levels in 23-H-3 and 4 is roughly coincident with nearby <br />landsliding. <br />Water Quality <br />Quarterly surface water quality samples were taken for laboratory <br />analysis at the North Fork of the Gunnison River above the <br />Sylvester Gulch confluence, the North Fork of the Gunnison River <br />below the Bear Mine, and at the Sylvester Gulch flume site. The <br />results are shown in Table 32. <br />Monthly field parameters of pH, electro-conductivity, temperature, <br />dissolved oxygen, and turbidity were measured at the flume <br />locations in the Minnesota Creek basin. Results are shown in <br />Table 29. <br />Semi-annual water quality samples were taken from wells: C-16, <br />23-H-3, 23-H-4, SOM-2, SOM-13, SOM-16, and SOM-80 <br />Semi-annual water quality samples were taken from three of the <br />four (4) springs recommended for sampling. Spring G-la had <br />standing water only. <br />Quarterly measurements of field water quality were taken from <br />alluvial well SG-1. Neither well WR-2 nor WR-3 contained <br />sufficient water for measurements of field water quality. <br />SG-1 parameters: pH = 8.0 <br />Cond. = 897 <br />Temp. = 9.0 <br />-64- <br />
