SURFACE WATER <br />To monitor any potential effect of the mining operation on the adjacent surface waters of Goodspring <br />Creek the New Upper Goodspring stream site is utilized to chazacterize conditions found upstream of mining <br />activity and the Lower Goodspring stream site is utilised to characterize conditions found downstream of mining <br />activity. The Taylor Creek site is utilized to characterize conditions found downstream of the West Pit mining <br />and the Loadout. <br />GoodSyring Creek <br />Field monitoring and laboratory analysis at both the New Upper and the Lower Goodspring <br />Creek sites did not show any results or trends that aze problematic from a quality or quantity aspect, <br />The data indicates normal anticipated seasonal variations. <br />~lor Creek <br />Reflecting more normal weather conditions as opposed to the near drought conditions we have <br />experienced during the recent past, Taylor Creek exhibited some limited flow in 1995. No changes in <br />water quality were evident. <br />GROUNDWATER <br />• To monitor any potential groundwater impacts due to the Gossard Coat Loadout facility, <br />Cdowyo currently utilizes one down gradient monitoring well {Gossard Well). To monitor any potential <br />groundwater impacts due to mining activities, Colowyo currently utilizes one down gradient monitoring <br />well (North Goodspring Well) and one up gradient monitoring well (A-6 Well). <br />Gossard WeU <br />A review ofthe data does not indicate any groundwater problems associated with the Gossazd <br />Coal Loadout Facility. <br />North Goodsoring,Well <br />The analyses do not indicate any groundwater problems associated with mining activities. <br />A6 Well <br />The analyses do not indicate any problems associated with undisturbed conditions. <br /> <br />2 <br />
