• IMPACTS AND FUTURE MONITORING <br />Increased salt loading from the Mine No. 1 discharges have been observed since 1982. <br />They appeaz to have leveled off starting in 1986. The increased salt-loading was <br />predicted as described in the "probable hydrologic consequences" section of the permit <br />renewal application. Actual observed salt-loading in Trout Creek during the irrigation <br />season resulting from surface mining operations is less than predicted and has not <br />caused any material damage. The total recoverable manganese levels in Foidel Creek <br />aze below the stream standazd. <br />Localized increases in dissolved solids in the Foidel Creek alluvium have been <br />observed; however, these increases aze confined to azeas immediately adjacent to the <br />mine and no material damage has or is expected to occur. As predicted, two Wadge <br />Overburden wells have increased dissolved solids levels. The increase is within <br />predicted levels and since there are no water supply wells completed in this aquifer <br />(except by the mines) no material damage has or will occur. No impacts from Mine <br />• No. 2 have been observed. <br /> <br />- 15 - <br />
