' Bicarbonate/Sulfate <br />Bicarbonate (Figure 28) and sulfate (Figure 29) show a [tend of topological change similaz to that observed in the <br />surface waters. The bicarbonate/sulfate ratio (Figure 30) during much of the previous decade showed the alluvial waters at <br />TR-1.5 to be of a bicarbonate type while the alluvial waters at TR-3 and TR-4 were of a sulfate type. However, waters at TR- <br />1.5 have been tending to become more sulfate over the period of record. During 1996-2004, [he bicarbonate/sulfate ratio at <br />TR-1.5 was very similar to that found in WR-I providing further evidence that the source of sulfate may be from a sulfur rich <br />source such as leakage from an old abandoned underground mine. Bicarbonate levels in TR-4 rose in 2004 driving the <br />sulfa[e/bicarbonate ratio lower. This may be due to the well repairs performed in the spring of 2003. <br />Disso]vedIron/Manganese <br />Overall, dissolved iron (Figure 31) and manganese (Figure 32) levels for the tluee alluvial wells remained low during <br />2004 as in previous years. However, in 2004, the manganese concentrations in TR-4 rose. Once again, this maybe due to the <br />' well repairs conducted in the spring of 2003. <br />36 <br />
