Colowyo Coal Company <br />2010Annual Reclamation and Hydrology Report <br />Colowyo currently samples each ground water site for a variety of quality parameters. <br />Of all the parameters that are analyzed for, several key indicator parameters are <br />identified. These are lab pH, lab conductivity, TDS, sulfate, calcium, iron, magnesium, <br />sodium and elevation. Statistical analysis is completed and illustrates historical trends <br />for each parameter in Exhibit 2B. <br />Ground Water Data - The Rz value for linear regression is indicated below. <br /> <br />Site Id Lab <br />pH Lab <br />Conductivity <br />TDS <br />Sulfate <br />Calcium <br />Iron <br />Magnesium <br />Sodium Elevation <br />(feet) <br />A-6 0.0967 0.0014 0.0291 0.0064 0.0001 0.0146 0.0021 0.0262 0.0038 <br />A-7 0.049 0.4469 0.3733 0.3342 0.3152 0.75 0.311 0.1515 0.3212 <br />A-8 0.0145 0.0032 0.0685 0.039 0.1535 0.0417 0.023 0.2327 0.2402 <br />NGSW 0.0009 0.0368 0.0916 0.0002 0.0283 0.2412 0.00005 0.1998 0.0022 <br />Gossard 0.0042 0.5668 0.8033 0.5768 0.417 0.0732 0.4439 0.0793 0.5012 <br />MT-95-02 0.0551 0.3636 0.1657 0.0975 0.0004 0.0068 0.0982 0.0171 0.2994 <br />Summary of the indicator parameters for each ground water site is provided in the <br />following tables. <br />A-6 Well: <br />Parameter Mean Std dev Range Max.
