possible to devise a long term plan to deal with mine water discharge. <br /> 2.3 Scope of Report <br /> The purpose of this report is to present a conceptual hydrologic model, including geochemistry, <br /> of the Sunnyside Mine area. The pre-mine ground- and surface-water hydrologic conditions are <br /> estimated, and the present hydrology, including flow within the mine workings, is summarized. <br /> This report is intended to be a source document which may be useful when formulating plans <br /> for dealing with drainage from the underground workings of the Sunnyside Mine. <br /> 2.4 Methods <br /> Simon Hydro-Search bases this report on extensive review and analysis of published literature, <br /> mine records, files of public agencies, and field work at the Sunnyside Mine. Field work <br /> included a visual estimate of flow rates of drainages entering the mine, at various locations <br /> within the mine, at adjacent mine portals not owned by SJCMV, and at surface springs and <br /> seeps. Water temperature, pH, and electrical conductivity were measured at selected points. <br /> Geologic features pertinent to hydrogeology were noted, such as the nature and orientation of <br /> faults, extent of mineralization and weathering, and geologic controls on springs and limonitic <br /> staining. Qualitative assessments were made of permeability of wall rock at selected locations <br /> within the underground workings. <br /> sanjuan\sunny\1 10361\oct9 I Rpt 6 <br /> e"i simon Hfono=9EIrCH <br />
