These were not included with <br />the original fourth quarter submittal as all laboratory results were not available <br />The laboratory did not sample for total General coliform. The laboratory has been <br />requested to sample for this parameter in the future. The only excedence noted was for <br />samples for Manganese at sites 050B and 050D. Levels observed were typical of earlier <br />sampling. Sites 050D and 050D have been sampled on a frequence of at least annually and <br />quarterly when the min has been in production.
