U - Spoil Springs 3, 4, 5, and 7. These springs all exist in the Wadge seam mining area in the Little Grassy Creek basin. Spoil Spring 3 drains out of an old backfilled mine pit, and exhibits a decreasing EC trend. Spoil Spring 4 is a spring creek adjacent to Spoil Spring 3 and exhibits a increasing EC trend. Spoil Spring 5 (also known as the PeaCOCo Pond) issues out of another old mine pit north of Spoil Spring 3. It displays an increasing EC trend. All these springs eventually flow into the Wadge Impoundment via Little Grassy Creek. Spoil Spring 7 exists at the upper end of the Wadge Impoundment-. Its EC plot displays a stable EC trend. - Spoil Springs 6 and 10. These springs exist in the Wolf Creek spoils. Spoil Spring 6 exists along the northwest edge of the spoils and exhibits a stable EC trend. Spoil Spring 10 was discovered in 1993. It exists along the southwest edge of the spoils in the vicinity of the Wolf Creek pit underdrain, and is normally sampled at the haul road culvert downstream. It displays on decreasing EC trend. Additional sampling was performed in the Spoil Spring 10 channel this year. l0A is located 1200 feet above the haul road culvert and is at the toe of the Wolf Creek pit underdrain. lOB is located in the main channel 3000 feet above the haul road culvert. lOC is a developed (PVC pipe) spring located adjacent to lOB. Analyses of samples from these three sites may be found after Spoil Spring 10 in Appendix D. - Spoil Spring 9. This spring is located in the area immediately upstream of the 008 pond. It exhibits an increasing EC trend. Comparison of Surface Water Quality to Water Use Standards. SCC has compiled a list of surface water standards for agricultural uses (Table 9). This list is composed of CDOH surface water agricultural use standards (CDOH, Reg.31, March 1999). Table 10 provides a comparison of surface water quality to agricultural standards.
