• through 1997, that trend has reversed and is generally decreasing from 1994 through 2002. The maximum fluctuation in water level at this site over the period of record is 7.5' to date. Well 006-AZ-3 is situated downstream of 006-AY-1 and below the Fish Creek Borehole. We11006-AZ-3 is monitored in conjunction with surface water site 307 and the water level relationship is presented as Figure S8. Further downstream, well 006- AW-2 and surface water site 1002 aze monitored and water levels are plotted as Figure 60. Again in 2002, the interrelationship between alluvial groundwater and surface water is evident on these two plots. Well 008-AU-3 and surface water site 30S monitor water levels upstream from the Fish Creek Tipple area with data presented on Figure 62. The furthest downgradient Fish Creek alluvial monitoring well is 008-AW-3 (Figure 64) located near the Fish Creek Tipple. No unusual water level fluctuations were noted at any of these sites during 2002. Elevated ammonia readings in the Fish Creek Alluvium, first detected in August of 1995, were sustained through 2002. Additionally, at well 006-AY-1 (Table 30) a new minimum value was recorded for dissolved sodium. At well 006-AZ-3 (Table 31), new maximum values were recorded for field conductivity, dissolved calcium, bicarbonate, and dissolved manganese. Anew minimum value was recorded for sulfate. At well 006-AW-2 (Table 32) new minimum values were recorded for dissolved calcium, magnesium and sodium. At well 008-AU- 3 (Table 33) a new maximum value was recorded for field pH. New minimum values were also recorded dissolved calcium, magnesium and sodium. At well 008-AW-3 (Table 34}anew minimum value was recorded for dissolved calcium and magnesium. New maximum values were recorded for lab conductivity and sulfate. Other monitored water quality parameters returned values at the Fish Creek alluvial wells typically within previously established ranges during 2002. • Trout Creek Alluvial Groundwater: During 2002, one Trout Creek alluvial monitoring well (008-AT-1) required monitoring for water levels and field parameters on a monthly basis, and water quality sampling on a quarterly basis. All monitoring requirements were met at this site. Table 3S provides a summary of the 2002 Water Yeaz data collected. Figures 66 and 67 provide graphical representations of water level and field conductivity information to date. One additional well (Jones well) required monitoring for water levels and field parameters on a quarterly basis, and water quality sampling for full suite parameters on an annual basis and sulfate on a quarterly basis. All monitoring requirements were met at this site. Table 36 provides the 2002 data for this well with Figures 68 and 69 providing graphical representations of selected data. Well 008-AT-1 is monitored in conjunction with surface water site 1005. Figure 66 depicts the water level relationship between these two sites. Additionally, at well 008-AT-1 (Table 35) new minimum values were recorded for dissolved sodium and magnesium. Anew maximum value also was recorded for dissolved calcium. A[ the Jones well (Table 36) new maximum values were recorded for dissolved magnesium, dissolved sodium, bicarbonate, and sulfate for a sample collected on March 7, 2002. A discussion on these new maximum values is provided in [he Summary and Conclusions section. Middle Creek Alluvial Groundwater: Two Middle Creek alluvial wells (AVM-I and AVM-2) were incorporated into the monitoring network during 1996. Both require monthly monitoring of water levels and field • parameters with quarterly water quality sampling. AVM-1 lies in the Middle Creek drainage approximately 3500' upstream of the confluence of Middle and Foidel Creeks. AVM-2 lies in the Middle Creek drainage approximately 7500' upstream of AVM-1. These wells were installed in the fall of 1996. Tables 37 and 38 9
