years. Well GP-8 has been used as a baseline for precipitation/recharge impacts on the KLM aquifer <br />and showed a significant decline in water levels during 2001 through 2004. Mining is close enough to <br />this well that its water level responses cannot be used relative to baseline conditions for the last four <br />years. <br />Figure A-1 presents water levels versus time for wells GF-5 and P-5. The wells aze <br />completed in the HI bacldtll and 2nd White Sandstone aquifers, respectively. Water levels in well GF-5 <br />gradually declined in 2004, while water levels in well P-5 stayed near the bottom of this well in 2004 <br />except for a small water level rise in the fourth quarter. Water level in HI well GP-7 (Figure A-9) <br />shows a small decline in the HI aquifer for 2004, which is probably natural. This well has to be used <br />with caution as an indicator of natural changes due to the closeness of mining. <br />The GC wells (GC-1, GC-2, GC-3, see Figure A-2) aze located neaz the northeast comer of <br />the permit azea (PA) slightly more than 1100 feet from mining activity in 2004. These wells are <br />completed in the HI, 3rd White and alluvial aquifers, respectively. The water-level changes in these <br />wells may not still be good indicators of natural recharge impacts on these aquifers due to the <br />upgr<tdienk Honing. Water levels in well GG1 were higher in 2002 through 2004 than they were in <br />2(100 and 2001 but within natural variations. Decli~re in water level were observed in well GC-3 in <br />2004 but within natural changes previously observed. Water levels in well GC-2 very gradually <br />decreased in 2004. These changes in these three wells are probably natural The alluvial aquifer <br />response did not indicate good rechazge in 2004. <br />Figure A-3 presents the static water-level elevations for wells GD-Z, GD-3 and GP-9. <br />These wells are completed in the QR, QR backfill and 3rd White Sandstone aquifers. In 2004, water <br />levels in wells GD-2 and GD-3 declined the first half of 2004 and rose the second half. The water-level <br />elevation in 2004 for well GD-3 is several feet higher than the level downgradient at well GD-2. Well <br />GD-3 is approximately 1200 feet upgradient of well GD-2. It is topographically higher and closer to D <br />Trapper Mining Company 2-4 <br />2004 Annual Report <br />
