1 <br />Homestake Mining Company -Bulldog Mine-Lower Tailing Pond ( ( <br />' the Miners & Rat Creek drainages, approximately % mile west and southwest of the <br /> Lower Tailings Facility. The Hix well was located just north of Highway 149 along <br /> Miners Creek and the Fowler and Gustafson wells were located immediately south of <br />' Highway 149. The location of these wells is shown on Figure 2. Although, HMC <br /> sampled a number of the private wells in the area, limited data was found during the file <br /> seazch. In addition, in December 1982, Ground Water Sampling Incorporated of Denver, <br /> Colorado was commissioned to perform an independent sampling of tailings water, <br /> tailing recirculated water from the pump-back system, surface water in Rat Creek and <br /> the Fowler and Deacon wells. The purpose of the independent sampling was to attempt <br />' to characterize the water at each sampling point as to its origin, by determining its <br /> geochemical genesis and to help resolve some of the aberrations contained within the <br /> sampling results performed by the mine. The private well sampling results found doting <br />' the file seazch aze summarized on Tables Sa and 86. Each ofthe sampling episodes <br /> reflected the levels of Cyanide (free) and lead, zinc and copper (each measured as total) <br />' to be less than the Colorado Water Quality Standard or below the limit of detection. <br />1 <br /> <br />t <br /> <br /> <br />t <br /> <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />1 <br />
