• IV. Fish Creek AVF No survey monument data was generated during the period with the exception of the baseline coordinates for the 5000 series established in December. Hydrologic data collection occurred as required and results are provided in this report. With the submittal of this information, the Fish Creek AVF Hydrologic Monitoring program is concluded as undermining of the area occurred in September 1993 and subsequent monitoring has continued for one year since that time. Hydrologic monitoring data for the period is presented as Tables ]through 60. No new impacts were evident with regard to water levels or flow rates throughout the reporting period. Water levels in wells GWB-1 and GWB-2R fluctuated slightly during the period and to date remain slightly lower than pre-mining elevations. Total recoverable selenium values for sites GWA-1, GWA-2, andGWA-6 are noted to be higher during the reporting period. Elevated dissolved and total recoverable selenium values are noted for site GWA-9. As noted in the First Half 1994 Subsidence Report, three Fish Creek AVF hydrology monitoring sites (GWA-b, GWAP-7, and GWB-2R) lie in areas which have been subsided by Twentymile's mining operation. Site GWB-2R replaced well GWB-2 which was destroyed in the subsidence process. • No vegetation data was generated during the period as this aspect of the study was completed. Results are summarized in the First Half 1994 Subsidence Report. V. Conclusions Subsidence monuments revealed no unusual developments throughout the reporting period. Subsidence magnitudes were within the ranges previously documented for [he area. Structures remained essentially unaffected during the period. Minor impacts to the road were evident but the road remained in good condition both during and after [he subsidence process. No impacts whatsoever were evident to the power line. No material damage was evidenced during the reporting period. •
