Mr. Jim Burnell <br />November 7, 1997 <br />Page 2 <br />Water levels increased substantially in Well 7 during 1997 from <br />previous years. The depth to water was 56.67 feet, an increase of <br />nearly 16 feet over 1996. Total depth of the well is 110 feet. <br />Water levels have risen 45 feet in the last ten years. This <br />general increase in water levels indicate the recovery of the _ <br />potentiometric surface due to cessation of mining at Canadian Strip - <br />and more recently with the reclamation of the Kerr Mine to the <br />north. The snowpack during the winter of `96/`97 was average, but <br />rainfall during the summer was elevated. <br />Well 7 is monitoring a slightly alkaline sodium bicarbonate water <br />of moderate salinity (TDS of 1430 mg/1), and moderate hardness (314 <br />mg/1). The water meets all Colorado groundwater quality standards <br />except the secondary drinking water standards for iron, manganese <br />and sulfate. <br />Should you have questions or need additional information concerning <br />hydrologic monitoring, please do not hesitate to let me know. <br />Sincerely, <br />`~" - 1 <br />Jerry H.
