• li\1PACTS AND FUTURE n90NITORING <br />Increased salt loading from the 1\9ine No. 1 discharges have been observed since 1982. They <br />appear to have leveled off starting in 1986. The increased salt-loading was predicted as <br />described in the "probable hydrolo,ic consequences" section of [he permit renewal application. <br />Actual observed salt-loading in Trout Creek during the irrigation season resulting from surface <br />mining operations is less than predicted and has not caused any material damage. The total <br />recoverable manganese levels in Foidel Creek are below the stream standard. <br />Localized increases in dissolved solids in the Foidel Creek alluvium have been observed; <br />however, these increases are confined to areas immediately adjacent to the mine and no material <br />damage has or is expected to occur. As predicted, two Wadge Overburden wells have increased <br />dissolved solids levels. The increase is within predicted levels and since there are no water <br />supply wells completed in this aquifer (except by the mines) no material damage has or will <br />occur. No impacts from D9ine No. 2 have been observed. <br />• <br />L J <br />14- <br />
