4 1996 Annual Hydrology Report Respor:ses Page 2 <br />February 3, 1998 <br />8. GP-5 does not contain any water. Please review Figure H-5 and Table I-5. <br />Table I-5 indicates that the well is ~; however, Figure H-5 appears to indicate <br />that there is 11 feet of water in the well. The fact that well level is shown to be <br />11 feet above the original bottom of the well does not indicate the well has 11 <br />feet of water in it, but rather shows that there is a problem with the well <br />providing reliable information. <br />The same is true for SO.W-3. Please review figure H-32 and Table I-32. <br />1 1. See the response for #8, as the explanation provided applies to LP-1 also. <br />Please see Figure H-30 and Table I-30. <br />14. • <br />•The design and purpose of this flume station is to collect low flow data in <br />accordance with MCC's augmentation plan, because low flow is when water <br />users might be affected by mining. MCC's approved surface water monitoring <br />program was never intended to measure high, spring-time or large storm event <br />flows. MCC will continue to monitor the flume as has been done since the <br />flume was installed, in compliance with the monitoring program and <br />augmentation plan. <br />•The lab did not analyze the sample for pH and conductivity for Middle Dry <br />Fork Flume; however, these parameters were collected in the field as shown on <br />Table C-9. The lab, rather than dissolved, completed an analysis of total <br />aluminum. MCC believes that this laboratory oversight was unfortunate, but <br />does not affect the monitoring program, as MCC has not yet longwal] mined in <br />this drainage, nor will do so for some time. In addition, these parameters have <br />not changed much through the many years (approximately 20 years) of baseline <br />monitoring conducted by MCC on this drainage basin. <br />16. • <br />
