Such a <br /> plume would not be expected to form until several years, <br /> possibly decades, after the pit is reclaimed in the adjoining <br /> Section 32. Compared to pre-mining ground water <br /> conditions, such a plume would have elevated dissolved <br />T <br />Prevention of solids. The elevated dissolved solids could possibly impair <br />. <br />adverse impacts CDRMS the use of ground water in the 3rd White Sandstone. The <br />to ground water regulation yes 3 White Sandstone is monitored in the area of the possible <br />systems outside 4.05.11 plume in well GP-9. Monitoring data from that well <br />the permit area indicate such a plume has not formed. A plausible <br /> alternative interpretation to a plume forming would be that <br /> artesian conditions in the 3rd White will prevent invasion in <br /> the subsurface by spoil leachate as shown in the <br /> spreadsheet attached to DRMS's review memo for the <br /> 2004 AHR. Spoil leachate could invade the alluvium and <br /> 3rd White sandstone in Flume Gulch by seeping down into <br /> the subsurface from spoil springs flowing on the land <br /> surface.surface in the gulch. These springs will not form <br /> until several years, possibly decades, after the pit is <br /> reclaimed in the Section 32. <br />Page 5
