• upstream of the Fish Creek Tipple discharge (a.k.a. CDPS discharge site 62). Site 1003 is located downstream of <br />the Fish Creek Tipple. <br />Monitoring requirements at sites 307 and 305 require monthly water level measurements (March through <br />September), and semi-annual field parameters. However, per PR03-06, site 305 now requires semi-annual water <br />quality testing. <br />Three relatively new surface sites have been added in conjunction with new Fish Creek Alluvium well sites AVF- <br />13, AVF-14, and AVF-15. These are surface sites SW-13, SW-14 (both added in August 2001), and SW-15 <br />(added in June 2002). These new sites require quarterly water level measurements (March through September), <br />and semi-annual field parameters and water quality sampling. <br />Tables 44 through 50, and 56 through 58 provide summaries of the 2003 Water Year data collected at Fish Creek <br />surface flow sites. Tables 44A through SOA provide period of record statistical summaries of collected data at <br />each site. Figures 64 through 95 provide graphical representations of water levels and selected water quality <br />parameters recorded at each site. Again, typical flow patterns were exhibited at these sites with spring mnoff <br />periods accounting for the peak flows observed. In general, an inverse relationship between flow and field <br />conductivity was evident. 2003 water quality parameters for these sites were generally within previously <br />established ranges. <br />• Note that former Site 1002 (located approximately four miles downstream of the Fish Creek Borehole mine <br />dewatering site) and associated alluvial well 006-AW-2, were both eliminated in 2003 per TR03-42. At site 27A <br />(Table 47) a new maximum value was recorded for dissolved sodium. <br />New surface sites SW-13, SW-14, and SW-15 (Tables 56 through 58, and Figures 70 - 81) indicated elevated <br />concentrations for total recoverable iron in early June 2003, however iron concentrations dropped dramatically <br />(about an order of magnitude) by August 2003. With the exception of total recoverable iron, none of [he values <br />recorded during the initial sampling episode fell outside the typical historical range of other surface sites on Fish <br />Creek. This anomaly is discussed further in the summary and conclusions section. <br />Trout Creek: Three surface flow monitoring sites on Trout Creek are utilized. Site 301 is located on Trout <br />Creek above the confluence with Middle Creek. Site 69 is located on Trout Creek below the confluence with <br />Middle Creek. Site 1005 (established in 1994) is located downstream of the confluence with Fish Creek and is <br />monitored in conjunction with alluvial well008-AT-1. <br />Tables 51 through 53 provide summaries of the 2003 Water Year data collected at Trout Creek surface flow sites. <br />Tables S1A and 53A provide period of record statistical summaries of collected data at sites 301, 69, and 1005. <br />Figures 96 through 105 provide graphical representations of water levels and selected water quality parameters <br />recorded at each site. For the mast part, typical seasonal flow patterns were observed <br />2003 Water quality parameters for these sites are typically within previously established ranges with a few <br />exceptions. At site 301 (Table 51), one new maximum was recorded for laboratory conductivity. At site 69 <br />12 <br />
