NCEC-1988 Hydrology Rpt -3- July, 1989 <br />2.0 HYDROLOGIC MONITORING <br />2.1 Data Collection <br />Field and laboratory data were collected during the first quarter <br />of 1988 from the following monitoring sites, OW -11, OW -14; OW -15, <br />OW -17, OW -18, and CR -2. This data is presented in the data table <br />in addition to the previously collected information from these and <br />all other monitoring sites. <br />Since the tunnels have remained sealed since 1986 and there has <br />not been any activity on the site during 1987 and 1988, it is not <br />likely that there have been any impacts to the groundwater system <br />due to the mine facility. NCEC recognizes that the data collected <br />during 1988 does not meet the specified sampling intervals. <br />However, as stated previously, monetary constraints prevented this <br />monitoring during most of 1988. <br />Under the circumstances, NCEC suggests that since the collected <br />data is consistent with site groundwater conditions as described <br />in the permit application and recorded in the extensive data -base, <br />that the first and second quarter sampling be allowed to stand for <br />conditions during 1988. As is described in Section 2.3, NCEC has <br />a clear idea of how the monitoring system should be improved and <br />operated. It is NCEC's intention that prior to restarting <br />activities at the site, full-scale monitoring will be resumed in <br />order to establish that the original baseline conditions <br />established prior to mining are indeed still valid.
