Standazdn that were ezeaeded aze p8 at three rolls, fluoride at three cello, TDS at one wall, and sulfate at tro rolls. Finally, rater quality analyses performed on samples obtained at the 9enaca II shop roll (STCS) for this year rare compared against both human health and secondary drinking rater e tandazda developed for ground xataz by the Colorado Dapaztment of eealth (GOOF, 19861. No human health standazda rere a:ceaded, The COOS secondary standard for iron, 0.3 mq/1, was ezcaeded once rith s wlue of 0.72 mq/1. The CDOE secondary standard for sulfate, 250 mq/1, tae ezeeadad trice rith values of 390 and X00 mq/1.

Surface Water Table 9 lists pertinent information on all NPDES, stream, and eprinq monitoring sites at the Seneca II Mine. A complete description of the surface rater monitoring program may be found on Pagae 7-336 to 7-355 of the Seneca II PAP. NPDES Diechazga Pointe 002, 003, 006, and 008 aza monitored raekly for field pazamatare (floc, temperature, pe, and electrical conductivity) and monthly for NPDSS parameters. 00~ and 008 are monitored monthly only in the tinter. Stream Monitoring Sites 1, 2, 3, and 5 are monitored for field pazametars monthly from March Through October. All of these sites era saapled three times a year Lor • full-suite rater quality.
