• Review of Table 16 shows that Site 6 displays a MgC a-S06 type eater. The annual average TDS value of 2955 mg/t for 1993 falls within the historic range. Surface Water Site SW-52-10. The site monitors Cow Camp Creek at its confluence with Fish Creek. It is monitored May through September on a monthly basis. As was suspected by PCC staff before initiating monitoring, this site floes less often than the upper Cow Camp Creek, Site 6. This year, no flow was present at this site on the June through September monthly visits, although Site 6 was flowing continuously those months. This reduction in floe is due to stream channel infiltration, evapotranspiration, and the absence of lateral inflow from tributaries to Cow Camp Creek. Water at this site is a MgC a-S06 type. The one TDS value of 3110 mg/l for this year falls within the historic range. NPDES Discharge Point 008. The annual average flow (from weekly measurements) since this pond began io flow are: 1993 = 0.332 cfs 1992 = 0.132 cfs 1991 = 0.112 cfs 1990 = 0.067 cfs 1989 = 0.108 cfs 1988 = 0.106 (reservoir did not completely fill until February 25, 1988). Review of the hydrograph end the above table shows that discharges have increased since 1990, with this year having a significantly higher average flow due to increased snowpack runoff. Review of Table 15 shows that water at the 008 site is a MgCa-506 type. Date for Site 9 (baseline site) is also supplied on this table to provide date for comparison. Water previously sampled at Site 9 was a CaMg-HC03 type. The construction of Pond 008 and subsequent mining activities above have resulted in increased TDS and sulfate in comparison to baseline eater quality measured at Site 9. Surface Water Site SW-52-12. This site monitors Bond Creek at its confluence with Fish Creek. It is monitored May through September on a monthly basis. As was noted also at 11
