<br /> <br />EFFLUENT MONITORING <br />' One sediment control structure (Pond B) is monitored at Mine 3. In addition, Station 24 is <br />located at the reclaimed area of the abandoned Middle Creek underground mine. <br />' Flows <br />The flow rate data for the effluent sites aze summarized on Table 14. Discharges from these <br />' ponds aze effected by seasonal variations in precipitation. Only one dischazge event was <br />detected at Station 24 and only two dischazge events were detected at Station 76 in 1990. The <br />dischazges from this station are generally small. All the 1990 discharge events occurred during <br />spring runoff. <br />Water Quality <br />Summaries of the water quality data for the two effluent sites aze presented on Tables 21 through <br />' 24 and on Figure 21. The plot shows that the dischazge sites did not have any detectable effect <br />on the water quality in Middle Creek. Neither site is exhibiting any long term trends. Since <br />' none of these sites have significant discharges during the irrigation season they do not cause any <br />significant impacts. <br />-8- <br />
