Abbreviations <br />Alk = Alkalinity, total as CaCO <br />BLM = U.S. Bureau of Land Management <br />Cond = Specific Conductance <br />dis = dissolved <br />EFRC = Energy Fuels Resources Corporation <br />EPA = U.S. Environmental Protection Agency <br />Hard = Hardness <br />gpm = gallons per minute <br />LBB = Lower Brushy Basin <br />mg /L = milligrams per liter <br />Peel = Peel Environmental Services <br />s.u. = standard units <br />TDS = total dissolved solids <br />TSS = total suspended solids <br />tot = total <br />Umetco = Umetco Minerals Corporation <br />WWE = Wright Water Engineers, Inc. <br />WWL = Western Water & Land, Inc. <br />pCi /L = picoCuries per liter <br />pS /cm = microSiemen per centimeter <br />Notes: <br />(a) The gross alpha activity standard excludes alpha activity due to radon and uranium. The majority of <br />the gross alpha count in these samples is attributable to uranium. <br />(b) The gross beta standard is 4 millirems per year and is based on the sum of beta emitters present <br />and a risk -based analysis with 2- liters per day drinking water intake. <br />(c) The standard of 5 pCi /L is for combined Radium -226 and Radium -228. <br />(d) Uranium levels in the Lower Dolores River Basin cannot be increased above 30 ug /L or background, <br />whichever is greater. <br />(e) Numeric table values for Segment 3a of the Lower Dolores River water quality standards. <br />(f) Stream standards are in total concentrations unless indicated otherwise. <br />(g) The Colorado Water Quality Control Commission has calculated a health -based standard of 0.02 <br />ug /L for arsenic. <br />(h) The EPA Standards are from Subpart C - uranium, radium, and vanadium ores subcategory of Title <br />40, Part 440 of the Code of Federal Regulations. <br />(i) The analytical data includes results for both total and dissolved concentrations. The data has not <br />been differentiated because the water contains very low levels of suspended solids and the dissolved <br />and total concentrations are typically within 10% of each other. <br />Shading of a constituent concentration or activity level indicates that the value exceeds one or more <br />water quality standards. These standards may not be applicable to the water source and use; however, <br />they do provide a means for assessing whether a value is higher than the norm. <br />" <" indicates not detected at the analyte reporting limit shown <br />Uranium values are presented in both mg /L and pCi /L. The units mg /L are converted to pCi /L by <br />multiplying by 677 pCi /mg. <br />
