Follows are Bowie's responses to the Division's <br />questions and concerns: <br />Annual Hydrologic Report <br />General Comments <br />1. No response required. <br />Monitoring Freouencv <br />1. No response required. <br />Water puantity and puality <br />i. The Division noted two observations regarding groundwater <br />quality. First, the Division indicates well B07 had a <br />sudden and dramatic increase in conductivity in 1993. <br />The Division apparently did not interpret the graph <br />presented on Figure 4 correctly. The sudden and dramatic <br />increase was in water level not conductivity. The <br />conductivity of well B07 has been fairly consistent since <br />1988 with a range of about 900 to 1700. I believe 1993 <br />was the year we had the wet winter and spring which <br />probably explains the sudden increase in water level in <br />well B07. Second, the Division noted a sudden drop in <br />conductivity values since 1990 in the East Roatcap Creek <br />and Stevens Gulch colluvial wells. Bowie is not aware of <br />any phenomena that may account for this change in EC. <br />
