<br />All samples were preserved by approved methods until being <br />submitted to a qualified laboratory for testing. The laboratories <br />used standard laboratory methods to obtain all parameters required <br />by the Division as shown in test reports attached to Table II <br />Groundwater and Table IV Surface Water. <br />SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS <br />Groundwater test data indicates no significant change in <br />pH and conductivity throughout the test period with the water <br />level of the wells being correspondingly lower with the decreased <br />precipitation during the months of June through October. <br />• Surface water test data indicates no significant change <br />in pH and conductivity throughout the test period with the rate <br />of flow being lower to non-existent during the dry season from <br />June through October. <br />Based on the foregoing test results it can be assumed that <br />present mining operations have no adverse effect on water quality <br />and quantity within the permit area. The use of contemporaneous <br />reclamation will negate potential adverse effects and no degradation <br />of future water quality should occur. <br /> <br />-2- <br />
