Well 008-AT-1 is monitored in conjunction with surface water site 1005. Figure 48 depicts the water level <br />relationship between these two sites. Monitoring was initiated on Trout Creek Alluvial wells back in 1994. <br />Middle Creek Alluvial Groundwater: Two Middle Creek alluvial wells (AVM-1 and AVM-2) were <br />incorporated into the monitoring network during 1996. Both had required monthly monitoring of water levels <br />and field parameters with quarterly water quality sampling. However, per TR03-42, these wells were abandoned <br />in the Fall of 2003. Consult previous AHRs for this data. <br />3.3 Surface Water Monitoring <br />Monitorine/Samplina Requirements: Table 32 presents a summary of surface water monitoring frequencies, <br />which was last updated for Permit Revision 6 (PR 03-06 Exhibits 14-7 through 14-10) in March of 2004. Site <br />locations ate shown on Map 13A (a.k.a. Figure 2) ,Hydrologic Monitoring Plan of TR03-42 (as well as in Figure- - <br />2 of this AHR). Table A of Exhibit 14 specifies three seasonal monitoring episodes (i.e. October to February, <br />March to May, and June to September), each of which are further divided into two genera] categories of sampling <br />frequency: 1) "Regular" monitoring that is done continuously, and 2) "Contingent" monitoring that is done only <br />when there is a discharge from underground mine pumping at surface discharge sites 109 and/or 115. All required <br />monitoring/sampling instances were completed during 2005. <br />. 2005 surface water data is provided in Tables 33 through 49. 2005 Water quality parameters for these sites were <br />typically within previously established ranges, unless otherwise discussed below. An historical summary of data <br />through 2005 has been provided in Tables 35a through Sla and 35b through Slb. <br />Foidel Creek: Five surface flow monitoring sites on Foidel Creek in the vicinity of the TCC mine portals and <br />facilities areas are utilized. Site 800 and site 14 are located upstream of the portal. Flows at site 800 (Former <br />USGS Station 09243800) were monitored by TCC in 2005. Site 8 is located a short distance downstream of the <br />portal area and is monitored in conjunction with alluvia] well 001-5-5. Site 900 is located further downstream. <br />Site 304 was Located further downstream above the confluence with Middle Creek was monitored in conjunction <br />with alluvial well 008-AV-2. Site 304 was eliminated in 2003 per TR03-42. Flows at site 900 (Former USGS <br />Station 09243900) were also monitored by TCC in 2005. <br />Tables 33 thrauglt 36 provide sutttrnaries of the 2005 Water Year data collected ai each site. Tables 33a, 34a, and <br />35a provide POR statistical summaries of collected data at each site. Figures 52 to 59 and 102 to 105 provide <br />graphical representations of water Levels and selected water quality parameters recorded a[ each site. Typical <br />flow patterns were exhibited a[ these sites with spring runoff periods accounting for the peak flows observed. At <br />all of these sites, the inverse relationship between flow and field conductivity continues to be evident. 2005 <br />Water quality parameters for These sites were within previously established ranges. <br />. Fish Creek: Nine surface flow monitoring sites are utilized on Fish Creek. Site 16A replaced site 16 in 2000, <br />and is Located upstream of the Fish Creek Borehole discharge site 115. Historical data for site 16 may be found in <br />previous AHRs. Site 307 is located approximately one mile downstream of the Fish Creek Borehole mine <br />9 <br />
