quality data for this well are presented on tables 15 through 21. • It does not appear that the alluvial water quality, as measured in this well, has changed significantly as a result of mining activities which have occurred in the Fish Creek AVF study area. Well GWA2 did not show any significant changes due to mining activities within the study area during the year. The alluvium shows the typical seasonal variations it relates to total dissolved solids. This occurs as a result of spring runoff recharging the alluvium during the spring period, and the runoff typically has lower dissolved solids concentrations than the alluvial water. The dissolved solids concentration in this well are higher than the concentrations reported for well GWA1. As is shown on the table the alluvial water is dominated by calcium and is a bicarbonate water. Likewise, sulfate ions dominate the alluvial water. The elevated iron and manganese concentrations are associated with the high total suspended solids found in the well. During the bailing of the well the sediments which settle in the bottom of the well are mixed in the well water and picked up during sampling. Iron and manganese are associated with these sediments. The water quality data are presented on tables 22 through 28. It does not appear that the alluvial water quality, as measured in by this well, has changed significantly as a result of mining • activities which have occurred in the Fish Creek AVF study area. Well GWA6 did not show any significant changes due to mining activities within the study area during the year. The alluvium shows the typical seasonal variations it relates to total dissolved solids. This occurs as a result of spring runoff recharging the alluvium during the spring period, and the runoff typically has lower dissolved solids concentrations than the alluvial water. As is shown on the table the alluvial water is dominated by calcium and is a bicarbonate water. Likewise, sulfate ions dominate the alluvial water. The water quality in this well more resembles the quality of well GWA1. The elevated iron and manganese concentrations are associated with the high total suspended solids found in the well. During the bailing of the well the sediments which settle in the bottom of the well are mixed in the well water and picked up during sampling. Iron and manganese are associated with these sediments. The water quality data are presented on tables 29 through 35. It does not appear that the alluvial water quality, as measured in by this well, has changed significantly as a result of mining activities which have occurred in the Fish Creek AVF study area. Well GWA9 did not show any significant changes due to mining activities within the study area during the year. The alluvium !- 3
