<br />' The two stations in Red Wash (SW24-1 upper and SW1-1 lower) both recorded two flow events <br />during this water year. Both were associated with snowmelt in March and April 1993. The quality <br />of the March flow was very similar at both stations. The quality of the April flow was somewhat <br />different and the flow rate diminished sharply between the two stations. The average TDS was 1170 <br />' mgp at SW24-1 and 1765 mgp at SW1-1. <br />As in all previously monitored water years, no discharges occurred from the Refuse Area ponds, and <br />therefore, no flows were measured or sampled at SW23-1 during this water year. <br />' Two flows were recorded at SW11-1 near the mouth of Scullion Gulch. These flows were also in <br />March and April 1993, although on different days than those in Red Wash. The average TDS for <br />' these two flows was 2471 mgp. <br />2.2.2 Ground Water Monltorlnp Data Groundwater monitoring data consists of water levels <br />measurements. Tabulation of the raw data is included in Appendix C. Hydrographs for the 15 <br />stations (monitor holes) from which water level data was collected are included in Appendix D. <br />Table 2-2 is a statistical summary of the water level data. <br />2.2.2.1 Alluvtal Water Level Data Water level data has been collected from the one remaining <br />' original alluvial aquifer monitoring hole (QAL-5) and the Refuse Disposal Area alluvial monitoring <br />hole (RM-1). Five other alluvial monitoring holes were inundated by Kenney Reservoir. Ahydro- <br />graph of the water level data for QAL-5 is contained in Appendix E. The statistical summary of the <br />' water level data for QAL-5 is also included in Table 2-2. No water has yet been detected in RM-1. <br />The locations of these monitoring holes are shown on Plate 1 in the pocket of this report. The Qal-5 <br />' hydrograph shows the major increase in the alluvial water level of the White River during the first <br />half of 1985. This rise was due to the filling of Kenney Reservoir. Since that time, fluctuations <br />reflect the rise and fall of the reservoir level. <br />2.2.2.2 Alluvial Water Quality Data The water quality data for QAL-5 is contained in Appendix <br />' E. The statistical summary of the data is also contained in Appendix E. A statistical summary of <br />depths for QAL-5 is also included in Table 2-2. The fifth annual hydrology report noted that the <br />general increase in the average TDS that started when Kenney Reservoir was filled was beginning <br />' to slow down. Based on the data collected during the present water year, the trend in the TDS <br />exhibited a decrease. The TDS ranged from 7152 mgp to 5872 mgp with an average of 6390. This <br />compares to an average during the previous reporting period of 7333 mgp. A graph showing the <br />' magnesium, chloride and TDS levels for QAL-5 is also included in Appendix E. <br /> <br />' 6 <br /> <br />
