The data indicate that no significant changes <br /> in the overall ground water quality have occurred in the aquifer. The <br /> changes in parameter concentrations probably are due to mine dewatering <br /> and water level fluctuations. <br /> soeFecs ver88 <br />Streamflow and stream-water quality are monitored as a part of the <br />monitoring program. Table 11 lists the results of etreamflow measurements <br />' on Newlin and Magpie Creeks. the two surface water monitoring sites on the <br />mine. Surface water availability in the vicinity of the mine is limited <br />because of the low elevation of the Newlin Creek basin (Figure 1) and the <br />1 small basin size. No or low flows in Newlin Creek have been noted since <br />1979 and flows in Magpie Creek were measured only once. on May 24. 1985. <br />The flow in Magpie Creek on that date was too Iow to be measured. <br /> Water quality lab results are available for Hagpie and Newlin Creeks and <br />li <br />d i <br />T <br />bl <br />12 <br />1 <br />li <br />i <br /> are <br />ste <br />a <br />n <br />es <br />and <br />3. respect <br />vely. New <br />n Creek produces water <br /> past the mine measuring points only when the Citq of Florence is not <br /> diverting surface water. The City's system has been under repair since <br /> late 1983 and flows have been observed and measured in Newlin Creek since <br />' that year. Water samples were collected by Energy Fuels personnel when <br /> the flows were measured. <br />t The surface water quality data show no impact of mining on the quality of <br /> flows in Newlin Creek. <br /> MISS pAiBB DISCBABGSS <br />' Discharges [o the stream system on the property from the mining operations <br /> are made from Pond No. 2. also known as Discharge Point No, 003. <br /> Discharges for very brief periods have been made from Sediment Poad No. 5 <br /> (Discharge Point No. 004) and Sediment Pond No. 1 (Discharge Point No. <br /> 001).
