• as well as data for 1998, aze presented for this Artnual Report in the following exhibits: <br />Exhibit 1 -Creeks -Surface Water Information, Goodspring Creek and Taylor Creek Water Data. <br />Exhibit 4 -Alluvial Wells -Ground Water Information, Gossazd Well, North Goodspring Well and <br />A-6 Wells. <br />SURFACE WATER <br />To monitor any potential effect of the mining operation on the adjacent surface waters of Goodspring <br />Creek the New Upper Goodspring (NLJGSC) stream site is utilized to characterize conditions found <br />upstream of mining activity and the Lower Goodspring (LGSC) stream site is utilized to characterize <br />conditions found downstream of mining activity. The Taylor Creek (LTC) site is utilized to <br />chazacterize conditions found downstream of the West Pit mining and the Loadout areas. <br />Goodspring Creek <br />Fieid monitoring and laboratory analysis at both the New Upper and the Lower Goodspring Creek <br />sites did not indicate any results or trends that aze problematic from a quality or quantity aspect. The <br />data indicates normal anticipated seasonal variations. The data suggests there is no impact from the <br />Colowyo mining operation on the quantity and quality of surface water in Goodspring Creek. <br />Tavlor Creek <br />• The flows in Taylor creek continue to reflect more normal regional weather conditions as opposed <br />to the neaz drought conditions we have experienced during the recent past (1990 through 1995). <br />Taylor Creek maintained continuous flow in 1998. No changes in water quality were evident. The <br />data suggests there is no impact from the mining operation on the quantity and quality of surface <br />water in Taylor creek. <br />GROUNDWATER <br />To monitor any potential groundwater impacts due to the Gossazd Coal Loadout facility, Colowyo <br />currently utilizes one down gradient monitoring well (Gossazd Well). To monitor any potential <br />groundwater impacts due to mining activities, Colowyo currently utilizes one down gradient <br />monitoring well (North Goodspring Well) and one up gradient monitoring well (A-6 Well). <br />Gossazd Well <br />A review of the data does not indicate any changes or problems with groundwater quality associated <br />with the Gossazd Coal Loadout Facility. <br />North Goodspring Well <br />A review of the data does not indicate any changes or problems with groundwater quality associated <br />with mining activities. <br />• <br />
