<br />1 <br />1.2 Spring Water Monitoring <br />' The locations of known springs in the Mt. Gunnison <br /> Environmental Study Area, an area extending approxi- <br />' mately one mile beyond the coal lease boundary, are <br />' shown on Exhibit II. During Water Year 1982, springs <br /> on the northern half of the Dry Fork basin were moni- <br />' tored monthly for rate of discharge, pH, temperature <br /> and conductivity when weather conditions would permit <br />' monitoring in order to comply with MLRD Permit Stipu- <br />' lation No. 17, and OSM Stipulation 21. These springs <br /> are labeled on Exhibit II. Likewise, springs within <br /> the 5-year permit area and adjacent area were monitored <br /> quarterly for flow and water quality. These springs <br />' are designated on Exhibit II. <br /> A representative sample of springs outside the permit <br /> area were monitored semiannually for flow and water <br /> hibit II <br />Th <br />E <br />i <br />h <br />lit <br />T <br /> . <br />own on <br />x <br />e <br />ngs are s <br />qua <br />y. <br />hese spr <br />' Oliver Mine ad it was destroyed by road construction and <br /> reclamation activities and thus not sampled in 1983.
