Site Reclamation Activity <br />April 2000 - March 2001 <br />Page 8 <br />Planned activity for 2001 consists of; <br />1) monitoring and maintenance of the planted areas and water <br />diversions. <br />MONITORING - Water Quality <br />Included in Appendix A is water quality data for; <br />1) Mayflower Millsite area <br />a) Animas River above (AR3.5) and below (AR4) complex. <br />b) Boulder Creek above (BC1) and below (BC2) tailings ponds. <br />c) monitoring wells on the banks of the Animas River down <br />gradient from Tailings Pond #3 (EOMW1 and EOMW2) <br />d) diversion ditch flow between Tailings Pond #3 and <br />Tailings Pond #4, up gradient of TP #3, (SCTP3 -1) and <br />before entry to the Animas River (SCTP3 -2). <br />2) American Tunnel area <br />a) Cement Creek above (CC1 /CC1A /CC1B) and below (CC2) <br />complex. <br />b) Springs in the area of the now reclaimed waste dump <br />(ATS1, ATS2). <br />3) Eureka Creek between Sunnyside Basin and the Terry Tunnel <br />(EC1). <br />4) Mine Pool <br />a) American Tunnel <br />b) Terry Tunnel <br />MONITORING - Discussion of Water Quality Monitoring Results <br />1) Mayflower Millsite area <br />The Animas River and Boulder Creek monitoring results continue <br />to exhibit increased zinc and manganese concentrations between <br />the upstream and downstream monitoring points during the <br />spring sampling event although the differential was less for <br />the spring, 1999 and 2000 samples. This may reflect the <br />effects of implementation of the TR -21 interception and <br />diversion projects. Summer or fall sampling events have <br />continued to show smaller or no significant change between <br />these same points. <br />
