<br />Only one deep well (W82-2L) was monitored in Hydrologic Sector III. <br />Water quality is similar to that which was sampled in Gordon Arroyo (W82-19A) in <br />that it is a highly mineralized sodium sulfate/bicarbonate water with moderate <br />SAR and iron concentrations, high TDS and conductivity, and low trace metals. <br />Comparison of the hydrologic sectors within formations may be done <br />from examining Stations W82-12L, W82-4L and W82-2L (Sectors I, II and III) and <br />Stations W82-411C and W82-4C, Sectors I and II. Analysis indicates that the <br />underground workings of the Cameron Seam in Sector I has changed water quality <br />from the type of water sampled in the seam in Sector II. Also, waters within the <br />Lennox Seam are affected by the exposure time to underground workings over the <br />permit area, accounting for the variation in water quality. <br />Water quality in the alluvium was monitored in each of the three <br />hydrologic sectors at Stations W82-17A, W82-18A and W82-19A. Stations W82-17A <br />• and W82-18A are in the Maitland alluvium, while W82-19A is the Gordon alluvium. <br />Water quality of Stations W82-17A and W82-18A compare closely. The <br />water is a sodium/calcium bicarbonate-type water with a moderate mineralization. <br />The water also has a low SAR, high concentrations of iron, and low concentrations <br />of trace metals. Conversely, Station W82-19A in Gordon Arroyo is a highly <br />mineralized sodium bicarbonate-type water with TDSraL4 conductivity being <br />measured at over 3000. The station exhibits high SAR and low concentrations of <br />trace metals. <br /> <br />-12- <br />
