V <br />• <br />A-2, C-1, D comp, E, OVB #1. <br />' no data was provided in 1995 for OVB #1 (until May 1995). <br />' no full suite sample data was provided for C-1 in 1995. <br />Division Evaluation of Data <br />After review of the data, the Division notes the following observations or trends; <br />Water Level <br />The lowest-ever water level reading was recorded in August of 1994 of 6799 feet <br />above mean sea level for site 001-5-5. <br />' A continued rising water level trend since 1991 is noted in 006-AY-1 <br />' 006-A~3 and surface site 307 show a poor correlation in water level. <br />Water Quality <br />' The highest-ever field EC was recorded in alluvial wells 001-S-5 and 006-AW-2. <br />' The two highest-ever mean quarterly EC values were recorded in 1994 at USGS <br />station 800. <br />' The highest-ever mean quarterly EC values were recorded in 1994 at Pond A and <br />Pond D. <br />Spoil springs continue to dominate the flows in Foidel Creek. Spoil springs also increase <br />the salinity to Fish Creek, but to a much smaller degree. 1995 mean quarterly EC values <br />at site 69 on Trout Creek (after the confluence of Middle and Foidel creeks) are some of <br />the lowest readings since the late 1980's. Continued monitoring should indicate whether this <br />is an isolated incident or a developing long-term trend of declining salinity. <br />Please submit responses as appropriate within 30 days of receipt of this letter.
