Water Quality Survey Results Across Schwartz Trend, December 2009 <br />Pumping down the mine pool would result in increased oxidation and mobilization of contaminants within <br />the mine pool, reversing the current trend of declining uranium concentrations. <br />Uranium concentrations in the mine pool have been declining for the past seven years. As the mine <br />initially filled, concentrations rose rapidly and peaked at 60.2 mg/L in October 2002. Uranium <br />concentrations have shown a relatively steady decline to 36.2 mg/L in April 2010 (Figure 3). The <br />decreasing trend is expected to continue as the water in the mine pool returns to pre-mining unoxidized <br />conditions. Uranium is generally mobile in oxygenated environments and immobile in reducing <br />environments. Dewatering would create oxidizing conditions in the mine pool, and would mobilize <br />uranium that would otherwise remain stable and insoluble in the flooded mine. It has taken seven years to
