• quarters of the water year. Additional monitoring information will assist in <br />determining whether this is natural fluctuation within the wells recording zone. <br />CONCLUSIONS <br />Hydrologic sampling of natural springs occurring below the mine site and groundwater <br />wells above and within the mine site showed no significant changes in parameter values <br />during the 1997 water year. Both springs dried and did not flow during the first three <br />quarters of the water year. Groundwater well levels were not significantly affected by <br />the surface water moisture regime. No significant changes were observed in the <br />chemical composition of the springs or groundwater wells. <br />Groundwater well 95-1 was added to the sampling program in calendaz year 1997. <br />This well is located downgradient of the mine, and as such should reveal any mining <br />related impacts to groundwater. <br />SEDIlI~IENT POND INSPECTIONS AND DISCHARGES <br />The Carbon Junction Mine has two sediment ponds, 001 and 002. Both sediment <br />ponds were inspected on a quarterly basis by Mr. Jim Hendricks of Oakridge Energy. <br />• Sediment pond inspection reports are included for Water Year 1997. No significant <br />concerns were identified during the inspections. <br />Neither sediment pond discharged during Water Year 1997 as reported on CDPS <br />discharge monitoring reports. These reports are appended for the 1997 water year to <br />the end of this report. <br /> <br />-5- <br />
