They were drilled the first <br /> of October , 1982 (see enclosed location map) . <br /> You will note that Nos . 1, 2 , 3 , 7 and 8 have water in <br /> them. No. 1 is above the pile and just happens to be in an <br /> area of springs and seeps. Nos . 2 and 3 are in the upper part <br /> of the pile (1977 and after) . Nos . 4 , 5 and 6 are spread along <br /> the top of the old face and are all dry. Nos . 7 and 8 are <br /> below the pile. Note that No . 8 is adjacent to the lower sedi- <br /> ment ponds. <br /> If you inspect the map it shows the pre-mining (refuse <br /> pile) contours and clearly shows a small valley cutting east <br /> across the pile towards the old pile. I believe the No . 3 goes <br /> into the mouth of this old valley, and that No . 2 represents <br /> the bottom or middle of the old valley that was present before <br /> the upper part of the pile was built (see also Placita Quad <br /> sheet ) . I believe this flow follows the old Dutch Creek channel <br /> (see Quad) . <br /> I 'm also enclosing the water quality samples from these <br /> wells. <br /> The following list contains the water surface measurements <br /> for the eight wells : <br /> FEET TO WATER FROM SURFACE <br /> DATE 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 REMARKS <br /> 10/82 dry dry dry dry dry dry dry dry <br /> 11/83 8 . 0 63. 5 100. 8 0 0 0 9. 1 8 . 5 samples <br /> 2/83 8. 1 64 . 7 101 . 0 0 0 0 9. 0 8. 2 <br /> 3/83 7. 0 64 . 6 98 . 0 0 0 0 9. 0 7. 6 <br /> 4/83 6. 3 64 . 6 94 . 7 0 0 0 8. 9 7 . 3 samples <br />
