• continues to be evident.. The only analyses results outside of previously established ranges for these sites was a <br />new minimum value for sulfate recorded for site 8 in September. <br />Fish Creek: Five surface flow monitoring sites on Fish Creek are utilized. Site 16 is located upstream of the <br />Mine 2 azea; site 302 is located downstream of the Fish Creel Borehole mine dewatering site; site 1002 is <br />located approximately 2 miles further downstream and is monitored in conjunction with alluvial well 006-AW-2; <br />site 27A is located near the Fish Creek Tipple; and site 1003 is located downstream of the Fish Creek Tipple. <br />During 1997, the Fish Creek surface water monitoring sites generally required monthly flow and field parameter <br />measurements with quarterly water quality sample collection. The monitoring requirements for all sites except <br />302 are further described to require 12 flow and field parameter monitoring instances to occur between March <br />and September along with 4 water quality sampling events. All monitoring requirements were fulfilled at these <br />sites in 1997. Required monitoring at site 302 included monthly flow, field parameter, and water quality <br />sampling during the irrigation season June through September. Site visitation requvements were met at site 302. <br />Tables 39 through 43 provide summaries of the 1997 Water Year data collected at Fish Creek surface flow sites. <br />Tables 39a through 43a provide period of record statistical summaries of collected data at each site. Figures 72 <br />through 91 provide graphical representations of water levels and selected water quality parameters recorded at <br />each site. Again, typical flow patterns were exhibited at these sites with spring runoff periods accounting for the <br />peak flows observed. Runoff magnitudes were well above average during 1997 based upon comparison with <br />• previous yeazs data and peak flow estimates were in some instances derived from the extreme high end of the <br />rating curves developed for each site. These values represent best estimates but aze unsubstantiated with <br />measured data. At all sites, the inverse relationship between flow and field conductivity was evident. <br />Then only water quality parameter values noted to occur outside of previously established ranges for these sites, <br />during 1997 were: anew maximum laboratory pH value for site 1002 (Table 41), and new maximum field pH <br />values for both site 27A(Table 42) and Site 1003 (Table 43). <br />Trout Creek: Three surface flow monitoring sites on Trout Creek are utilized. Site 301 is located on Trout <br />Creek above the confluence with Middle Creek; site 69 is located on Trout Creek below the confluence; and site <br />1005, established in 1994, is located downstream of confluence of Fish Creek and Trout Creek. Required <br />monitoring for these sites included monthly flow, field parameter, and water quality sampling during the <br />imgation season June through September. Site visitation and water quality sampling requuemen[s were met at <br />these sites during 1997. <br />Tables 46 through 48 provide summaries of the 1997 Water Yeaz data collected at Trout Creek surface flow <br />sites. Tables 46a and 48a provide period of record statistical summaries of collected data at sites 301, 69, and <br />1005. Figures 92 through 101 provide graphical representations of water levels and selected water quality <br />parameters recorded at each site. For the most part, typical patterns were observed although flow magnitudes <br />-9- <br />
