~ Station W16 is located in the east pit reclaimed area. Water levels remained relatively stable over the <br />1990 monitoring period ranging from 94.19 in March to 94.79 in September. Water levels decreased during <br />-I the three 1990 samplings. Over the six year monitoring period water levels have generally increased; however, <br />from the second quarter of 1989 through 1990, water levels decreased. The water is asodium-sulfate type with <br />higher conductivity and TDS over that observed in other wells. The water also exhibits an elevated level of <br />iron and manganese. <br />1 Concern has been expressed by CMLRD that as an aquiver develops in the reclaimed area, springs and <br />seeps may occur into surface waters of Stollsteimer Creek. During April 0(1987 and 1988, a spring and seep <br />survey was conducted in the reclaimed area. No springs or seeps were located in either survey. A spring and <br />seep survey was conducted on March 27, 1989, in the area of the mine pits and surface disturbance area. Onc <br />spring was observed originating Crom the Stollsteimer Creek bank just downstream from surface station S-2. <br />Flow was measured at approximately 3 gallons per minute. Water chemistry of the spring was analyzed <br />(Appendix 2) and found to be between that sampled in Stollsteimer Creek station S-2 and Well A-1. No <br />springs were observed during the March 1990 sampling. <br />J <br />
