EASTSIDE MINE <br />Water Monitoring Program <br />Baseline surface water monitoring was obtained in September 1983 <br />with a full suite of chemical parameters analyzed. Additional <br />surface and underground hydrologic sampling was analyzed for a full <br />suite of chemical parameters in April 1984. Eastside~s hydrologic <br />monitoring program was initiated in July 1984. Surface and <br />underground field parameters were measured, and samples for <br />chemical parameters were collected as defined by Stipulation 1 of <br />the Mining and Reclamation Permit, C-84-063, approved January 14, <br />1985. Due to a large reduction in flow, monitoring of the two <br />underground wells and seep was eliminated. After three years of <br />quarterly sampling with no significant deviations or variations of <br />the chemical parameter, sampling was reduced from quarterly to <br />semi-annual basis. <br />The present surface sampling points are: 1-Harvey Gap Outlet-Above <br />Mine; 2-Harvey Gap Outlet-Below Mine; 3-Seep below Harvey Gap <br />Reservoir. The ground water sampling point is the mine water as it <br />is discharged from the pipe coming from underground. <br />The Geotech Well, the sampling point for the proposed location for <br />the waste disposal are, was reclaimed in June of 1995. <br />The water monitoring program was initiated by Stephen Self, General <br />Manager. Current monitoring is performed by Bill Balaz of Balaz <br />and Associates. Samples for the full suite of chemical parameters <br />are shipped to ACZ Laboratory in Steamboat Springs, Colorado or <br />Enviro Chem in Grand Junction, Colorado for analysis. <br />1 <br />
