1. WATER MONITORING PLAN <br />• Requirement <br />Colowyo has committed to a surface and groundwater monitoring <br />plan sufficient to verify the predicted effects of mining <br />activities. Specifically the plan addresses the following: <br />1) Monthly flow and quality analysis for Goodspring Creek and <br />Taylor Creek; 2) quarterly stream flow and quality analysis; <br />3) pond discharge flow and quality analysis; 4) quarterly <br />groundwater level and quality analysis in updip and downdip <br />minesite wells and a downdip loadout well. Results are to be <br />submitted in an annual report. Quarterly monitoring will, at <br />a minimum, include chemical analysis of all parameters listed <br />below: <br />Phosphate <br />Conductivity at 25° C <br />Total Dissolved Solids <br />Total Suspended Solids (Surface Only) <br />Mercury <br />Arsenic <br />Iron <br />Ammonia <br />Nitrate (Wells only) <br />Calcium <br />Bicarbonate <br />Magnesium <br />Selenium <br />Nitrate-Nitrite (Surface Only) <br />pH <br />Lead <br />Manganese <br />Sodium <br />Sulfate <br />Zinc <br />Response <br />Colowyo continues to adhere to the water monitoring plan. <br />Additional details of this plan are explained in the Permit, <br />Volume 1, Page 4.05-10. Cumulative data and graphs for <br />previous years as well as data for 1994, are presented for <br />this annual report in the following exhibits: <br />1 <br />
