IMPACTS AND FUTURE MONITORING <br />Increased salt loading from the Mine No. 1 discharges have been observed <br />since 1982. They appear to have leveled off in 1986. While the salt <br />loading has increased it has not caused any material damage. High dissolved <br />manganese levels have occurred at Pond F. A change in stream designation <br />xas obtained in 1988. Dissolved manganese is no longer a stream standard. <br />Localized increases in dissolved solids in the Foidel Creek alluvium have <br />been observed; however, these increases are confined to areas immediately <br />~' adjacent to the mine and no material damage has or is expected to occur. As <br />predicted, two Wadge Overburden wells have increased dissolved solids <br />levels. The increase is within predicted levels and since there are no <br />wells completed in this aquifer (except by the mines) no material damage has <br />1 or will occur. No impacts from Mine No. 2 have been observed. Due to <br />redundancy of data the frequency of monitoring of Station 114 can be <br />decreased. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />' - 12 - <br />
