Taylor Creek <br />Typical of dry years, Taylor Creek showed very low and <br />intermittent flow. No significant changes in quality have <br />been noticed to date. <br />To monitor any potential groundwater impacts due to the <br />Gossard Coal Loadout facilities, Colowyo currently utilizes <br />one down gradient monitoring well (Gossard Well). To monitor <br />any potential groundwater impacts due to mining activities, <br />Colowyo currently utilizes one down gradient monitoring well <br />(North Goodspring Well) and one up gradient monitoring well <br />(A-3 Well). <br />Gossard Well <br /> This well continues to show very little fluctuation in <br /> water level and water quality. One sample taken in 1991 <br />showed an elevated sulfate value, which is likely an anomaly. <br />North Goodspring Well <br />Sampling of the North Goodspring Well began in September <br />1989. The analyses do not indicate any potential problems <br />with the groundwater associated with Goodspring Creek. <br />A3 Well <br />This well serves as representative of "undisturbed" <br />groundwater conditions up gradient from Colowyo mining <br />activities. The analysis do not indicate any potential <br />problems with the groundwater associated with Goodspring <br />Creek. <br /> <br />3 <br />
