discharge into Sage Creek, this ins tease in TDS is due to natural conditions. Revier of <br />• the hydrogreph indicates a low peek flow from snormelt runoff. <br />Borings. Spring 5-45, or the Olson Spring, is not a flowing spring, but a three-foot <br />diameter well placed in the alluvium of Dry Creek. Since a tell ras drilled on the Olson <br />ranch in September, 1980, this "spring" has not been put to use, although it is <br />water-righted for stock use. Samples at this spring display a MgCa-SO4NC03 type rater <br />rith a TDS average of 1,506 mg/l in 1994. This value is toter than the 1,510 mg/l <br />baseline average, but falls within the baseline range of 1,294 to 1,688 mg/l. <br />Spring S-1 is located in the channel of en ephemeral drainage that is an unnamed tributary <br />to Sage Creek. Further dornstream in this drainage is the 009 Pond that ras constructed <br />in October, 1991. No flow ras observed et this cpring during the June and September, 1994 <br />visits. <br />Spring 5-23, located at the head waters of the 006 Gulch, is located in the channel of an <br />ephemeral drainage. This apri ng is upstream of proposed mining and should not be affected <br />by mining. Measured flows in Mey and September of this year were 0.12 end 0.06 gpm with <br />• electrical conductivity (EC) values of 3,530 and 4,950 umhos. Due to low flows, no lab <br />samples were collected this year. <br />Spring 5-41, located downstream of Spring 5-23 along the 006 Gulch, is again located in <br />the channel of an ephemeral drainage. [t is situated just downstream of the silted-in <br />Temple Pond it2. It receives water from numerous seeps issuing from this marshy, silted-in <br />pond. Measured flora in Nay and September of this year were 1.3 and 0.09 gpm with EC <br />values of 3,320 and 1,930 umhos. Due to low flora, no lab aemple• rare collected this <br />year. <br />Spring S-5, Located downstream of Spring 5-41 along a side draw to the 006 Gulch, is also <br />in en ephemeral channel. the lest flow monitored here tae in June, 1983, and is the only <br />sample on record. It ras a MgCa-NC03 type rater rith a TDS of 775 mg/l. <br />Spring 5-46 is a developed spring first monltori ng during the 1979 sprf ng survey. ibis <br />spring fa not pert of the required monitoring program, however, due to its strategic <br />location (famedletely helot the 005 Pond dam), monitoring at this spring has been <br />• voluntarily reeateblished in 1992. In 1994, samples et this site displayed a MgCa-504XC03 <br />type water rith sn average TDS value of 7,353 mg/l. <br />11 <br />- - ~ i <br />
