As usual, correlation between the combined upstream flows and the downstream flows is not consistent. Palisade Water's diversions above the upper recorders and the excess water dumping point above Lhe lower recorder could make accurate correlation impossible. The Creek flows showed a lower than normal rate for the year similar to what the Colorado River showed. There was no discharge from sediment control ponds during the 1988 water year; therefore, there was no discharge through CDPS No. CO-0027146 discharge points 005 - 014. Flows in the Roadside Mine continued to be diverted to the abandoned portions of the mine; therefore, there was no mine discharge • to the surface from CDPS discharge points 001 or 002. Abandoned portions of the Cameo Mine that were being flooded during the 1987 water year filled in November 1987 and discharge through CDPS discharge point 004 began on November 30. Data pages SF-2 and SF-3 are tabulations of weekly monitoring done on discharge point 004 during the year. There were no violation of discharge permit limits for this point during the year. The following is the average water quality for the year: Point pH TDS TSS TFe 004 8.55 1627 Mg/L 16.7 Mg/L 0.24 Mg/L Table 588-9 contains mine discharge information related to the 1988 water year, Further information on the mine water is given in the MINE HATER section of this report. GROUND WATER Piezometers along Rapid Creek and Cottonwood Creek are now-being monitored for water level in May and September corresponding to high and low flows in the creeks. Data page GA-1 contains the results of this monitoring. The following table-compares this years readings with the average of previous readings near the same time: ~ J -2-
