<br /> <br />Spoil Spring 5 (WSSPGS) was first samples in June 2006. It is located <br />just above the large culvert that feeds into Pond 016A. It was dry in <br />September. <br />Comparison of Surface Water Quality to Water Use Standards. SCC has <br />compiled a list of surface water standards for agricultural uses (Table <br />9). This list is composed of CDOH surface water agricultural use <br />standards (CDOH, Reg.31, December 2005). <br />Table 10 provides a comparison of this year's surface water quality to <br />agricultural standards. This Paradox database generated table does not <br />include the units of concentration (mg/1 or ug/1) for each parameter. <br />The units used for each parameter are the same as those listed on the <br />standards table (Table 9) and are also the same as those used in the <br />water quality reports. The frequency column on Table 10 indicates the <br />number of exceedences out of the total number of samples (i.e., 1/2 <br />indicates one exceedence out of two samples). Below is a summary of <br />standards that were exceeded. Given in parenthesis is the source and use <br />of each standard. Although the CDOH does not indicate between livestock <br />and irrigation uses in their surface water agricultural standards, they <br />have done so in their similar ground water agricultural standards (see <br />Table 5). For the sake of discussion, SCC chooses to use those ground <br />water use standards classifications (livestock or irrigation) for <br />surface water use evaluation, Of all the surface water sites downstream <br />of Seneca II-W, only Sites WSDS (Dry Creek) , WSSF3 (Sage Creek) , WSH7 <br />(mid-Hubberson Gulch) and WSHFl (lower Hubberson Gulch) have their <br />waters used for irrigation. Following is a list of standards exceeded <br />this year. <br />Parameter # of Sites / # of Excursions <br />Manganese (CDOH irrigation) 11/16 <br />This summary indicates that only one CDOH surface water agricultural use <br />standard was exceeded. The manganese standard was exceeded at eleven <br />sites. However, as indicated in the recently revised CDOH Regulation 31, <br />the standard of 0.2 mg/1, applies to plants grown in acidic (<6.0 pH) <br />2l <br />
