water level was observed in well 91M005 relative to well 006-82-48A. No significant water quality <br />~~ influences are noted to be evident in data obtained during 1994. Localized dewatering of the Trout Creek <br />Sandstone appears evident in the vicinity of well 001-83-106 although levels have stabilized. A declining <br />water level trend was again noted to be appazent at well 001-83-107. Well completion efforts at FCM q2 <br />were completed during 1994. The water level returned by this site during 1994 is noted to be markedly <br />lower than levels previously returned from well 006-83j18C. No readily apparent water quality impacts <br />associated with mining are noted for the Trout Creek Sandstone aquifer based upon data collected during <br />1994 although relatively high alkalinity and pH values were obtained from well FCM #2. <br />No unusual observations are noted with respect to Foidel Creek alluvium groundwater levels. Well001-5-5 <br />exhibited instances of increased field conductivity values higher than those previously recorded. Anew <br />maximum TDS concentration was also documented during 1944 at well 001-5-5, Elevated TDS <br />concentrations were also documented at well Foidel Creek alluvium well 008-AV-2. TCC will continue to <br />carefully monitor these apparent trends. <br />A continuing increase in the water level exhibited at Fish Creek alluvium well 006-AY-1 was noted to be <br />evident during 1994. No other notable water level observations are apparent based upon review of the 1994 <br />data. No notable water quality impacts are evident. <br />~ Monitoring was initiated at Trout Creek alluvial well 008-AT-1 during 1994. No unusual observations are <br />noted with water quality observed to be comparable to alluvial wells upstream of the site. <br />Recorded surface water flows for Foidel Creek, Fish Creek, and Trout Creek were relatively low as <br />compared to recent years data. Field conductivity values from 1994 are noted to exhibit a general increase <br />at surface water site 800 on Foidel Creek. No other notable water quality impacts aze evident at any surface <br />water sites monitored during 1994. <br />Recorded 1994 spoil spring discharges were negligible and, therefore, did not constitute a significant portion <br />of discharge from the TCC mine area with the potential to impact off-site areas. Discharges from <br />sedimentation ponds occurred in conformance with applicable NPDES permit limitations and therefore did <br />not constitute significant impacts to receiving waters. Mine water discharge sites 109 and 115 produced less <br />water than in years past and 115 discharged iu conformance with applicable NPDES permit limitations. No <br />unusual occurrences of inflow were noted as a result of the Annual Mine Inflow study. <br />LJ <br />-12- <br />
