• West Roatcan Creek <br />Three springs were monitored in the West Roatcap Creek drainage (refer to Table <br />5 and Map No. 4-1) during 1996. The springs were not accessible during the first <br />quarter monitoring because of lingering snowpack. Spring 31 was monitored on a <br />monthly basis and exhibited consistent flows throughout the year with the flow <br />tapering off in the fall. Water quality parameters were consistent with ranges <br />previously established for this site. No mining occurred within the watershed for <br />this spring during 1996 and no mining impacts were evident. Spring 32 was <br />monitored monthly when it was accessible. Spring 32 exhibited consistent flow <br />throughout the year with the flow tapering off in the fall and winter. Water quality <br />parameters were consistent with last years sampling. Spring 10-13 was monitored <br />quarterly with quality taken in May. Flows and field parameters observed at this <br />site were consistent with previous baseline values. No mining occurred during <br />1996 in the Spring 10-13 watershed. <br />Stevens Gulch <br />Three springs were monitored within the Stevens Gulch drainage (refer to Table 5 <br />and Map No. 4-1) in 1996. Spring 25 lies below an area of the Eat mine inactive <br />since 1982. This site had measurable flow in May, August and November with <br />field pazameters collected consistently with prior measurements. Spring 25 has <br />been identified as an adjudicated water right within the permit area. <br />Two springs in the Stevens Gulch drainage, Spring and Pond 13-5, Spring and <br />Pond 13-6, were monitored quarterly in 1996. Spring and Pond 13-5 was <br />undermined during the last half of 1991. The spring at this location had only <br />measurable flow in May. The water quality analysis collected showed parameters <br />generally consistent with previous established values. Spring and Pond 13-6 was <br />undermined during the end of 1992. The spring at this location had no recordable <br />flow in 1996 however, a water quality analysis was collected showing parameters <br />generally consistent with previously established values. <br />~J <br />Page -6- <br />
