2. Drawdowns of approximately 6o feet may have occurred in the Twentymile sandstone at the location of well 91M0o5. No discernable changes in water level are noted at this time in well 006-BRDH7. No significant water quality changes are apparent from data collected at these wells. 1995 comments 2. A marked increase in two Twentymile sandstone wells was noted. Recharge due to heavy spring rainfall was evident in both BRDH-7 and 91M005, with a 40-foot and 100 foot rise, respectively, in water level. Water quality changes are not apparent. 1994 comments 3. The Trout Creek sandstone wells reveal water level changes due to pumping by the mine or mining itself. Page 2.05-111 of the approved permit require that Trout Creek wells in the vicinity of the mine be monitored if the sandstone shows impacts due to mining. The Division reminded TCC of this commitment in a letter dated '•11/25/94 after review of the 1993 AHR. Please submit data collected to-date for the wells in the vicinity. 1995 comments 3. Once again, the Division reminds TCC of the permit commitment to monitor Trout Creek sandstone wells in the vicinity of the mine, should inflows into the mine occur from this unit. AHR text states " Well 006-83-48C exhibited a fairly steady decline prior to being undermined during 1993..." This statement would imply that mining itself does, in-fact, cause some dewatering of the Trout Creek sandstone and would trigger the commitment to monitor wells in the region. 1994 comments 4. Data appears to indicate a 20 foot decline in Fish Creek sandstone well 91-MO04 since the fall of 1993. Does this decline correspond to undermining during 1994? 1995 comments 4. Both 91M001 and 91M004 continue to exhibit depressed water levels from baseline conditions. Alluvial Wells 1994 comment - 1. The conductivity in well 001-5-5 has exceeded 2000 umhos/cm for the first time (twice) since monitoring
