and are located on Plate 1. Table 14 lists the discharge amounts for the period of record that started February. 1985. Water quality data for Pond No. 2 have been analyzed since January. 1985. are presented in Table 15. Also shown ie a single lab analysis for discharge from Pond No. 5. No quality data are available for the single discharge from Pond No. 1. ' Examination of data from Pond No. 2 indicate that discharges averaged 2.03 mg/1 total iron and 46 mg/1 total suspended solids. The discharge permit requires that the limitations for total iron to be 3.5 mg/1 for a 30-day average and 7.0 mg/1 as a daily maaimum; total suspended solid limitations are 35 mg/1 for a 30-day average and 70 mg/1 for the daily maximum. The data for Pond No. 2 show that. of the 24 samples analyzed. the daily maximum for total iron was exceeded only on October 11. 1985. The total iron content of the discharge water was 8.46 mg/1 on that date. The average of 2.03 mg/1 for the 24 samples was under the limit of 3.5 mg/1. The average for total suspended solids for 24 samples was 46 mg/1 and the daily maximum was exceeded for four samples for the period of record. ![IPB WATSE I10?LOW9 Mine inflows are estimated to be 142.5 acre-feet per year. based upon adjusted records to reflect the full calendar year for 1985. This estimate is based upon adjusted pumping records for three locations used for dewatering of the mine. Actual pumping records are summarized in Table 16. The adjusted amounts are 141.91 acre-feet for the North Entry Well. 0.45 acre-feet for the North Sump Pump and 5.26 acre-feet for the Fan Pump, for a total of 147.62 acre-feet for 1985. The amount of water brought into the mine for use was 5.13 acre-feet. metered at the Onderground Meter and adjusted for a complete year. This amount should be deducted from the total dewatering amount pumped. resulting in an annual mine inflow estimate of 142.5 acre-feet for 1985. - 4 -
